Important

Start the InfluxDB and Grafana Configuration only after all the I2C Sensor Configuration steps have been completed.

1. Clone the MyVivarium RPi-IoT repository:

   git clone https://github.com/myvivarium/RPi-IoT.git
   

2. cd into the multisensors directory:

   python influxdb-multisensor.py

   docker exec -it influxdb influx
   > USE multisensors
   > show measurements
   > select * from illuminance
   > quit
   

   You should begin seeing something like this:
