Hi there,

I’ve installed the latest firmware on the Enviro Urban but for some reason I’m getting constant red light error when trying to connect to the influxDB. I’ve tried connecting directly using the same token and that seems to be fine.

Any ideas in this channel? I can’t find that much online where you get a 200 response code but still get an error. It points to permissions but I’ve checked the keys/token. I have limited it to the bucket I am using for my metrics.

Any ideas would be much appreciated. I’m really looking forward to getting this up and online.

With a little help, I worked out what this was. I had a trailing slash in my path to Influx.  
In my config.py I had mistakenly put “http://:8086/” and it should have been “http://:8086” for the URL.

This helped validate my token was working.  
curl -i -X POST “http:///api/v2/write?org=chezmacrae&bucket=envirometrics” -H “Authorization: Token ” -H “Content-Type: text/plain” --data-binary ‘test,device=enviro value=1’
