Connecting Flume Water to InfluxDB Cloud Using Telegraf

The author installed a Flume Water sensor in their home to track water usage and connected it to InfluxDB Cloud using Telegraf. They developed a Golang client for interacting with the Flume Water API, then wrote an external plugin for Telegraf to collect data from the Flume Water sensor. Finally, they connected the data into their InfluxDB Cloud account. The author encourages others with IoT devices and APIs to contribute custom Telegraf Input plugins.
