  • python-influxdb is no longer maintained, and upstream repo has been archived.
  • bigclown-mqtt2influxdb uses obsolete python-influxdb, and it seems upstream author does not have interest to move to supported influxdb libs.

Yes, still using it... What could we do here? Fork the upstream, merge the V2 support and change upstream here to the fork?

While this is a possible solution, I would prefer to avoid it. The forked repository risks becoming outdated if upstream implements further changes, or both repositories could eventually be archived. Implementing InfluxDB2 support as a patch would be a better approach. However, it remains unclear whether bch-mqtt2influxdb receives any support despite not being under active development.

So, it looks like I have some good news. I managed to get in touch with the Hardwario/Bigclown developers, and InfluxDB3 support will be added soon. However, I see that we don't have support for InfluxDB2 in OpenWrt, let alone InfluxDB3. We need to add that. :)

So, the blocked label remains for now. I'll take a look at packaging InfluxDB3.

According to hardwario/mqtt2influxdb#27 (comment) (kudos @hubpav), it looks like they now support InfluxDB 3! :)
