🌡 IoT Sensor Data Cleaner + InfluxDB Logger (n8n | Webhook | Function | InfluxDB)

This workflow accepts raw sensor data from IoT devices via webhook, applies basic cleaning and transformation logic, and writes the cleaned data to an InfluxDB instance for time-series tracking. Perfect for renewable energy sites, smart farms and environmental monitoring setups using dashboards like Grafana or Chronograf.

⚡ Quick Implementation Steps

1. Import the workflow JSON into your n8n instance.
2. Edit the Set Config node to include your InfluxDB credentials and measurement name.
3. Use the webhook URL (/webhook/sensor-data) in your IoT device or form to send sensor data.
4. Start monitoring your data directly in InfluxDB!

🎯 Who’s It For

• IoT developers and integrators.
• Renewable energy and environmental monitoring teams.
• Data engineers working with time-series data.
• Smart agriculture and utility automation platforms.

🛠 Requirements

🧠 What It Does

• Accepts JSON-formatted sensor data via HTTP POST.
• Validates the data (removes invalid or noisy readings).
• Applies transformation (rounding, timestamp formatting).
• Pushes the cleaned data to InfluxDB for real-time visualization.

🧩 Workflow Components

• Webhook Node: Exposes an HTTP endpoint to receive sensor data.
• Function Node: Filters out-of-range values, formats timestamp, rounds data.
• Set Node: Stores configurable values like InfluxDB host, user/pass, and measurement name.
• InfluxDB Node: Writes valid records into the specified database bucket.

🔧 How To Set Up – Step-by-Step

1. Import Workflow:

   • Upload the provided .json file into your n8n workspace.

2. Edit Configuration Node:

   • Update InfluxDB connection info in the Set Config node:
     • influxDbHost, influxDbDatabase, influxDbUsername, influxDbPassword
     • measurement: What you want to name the data set (e.g., sensor_readings)

3. Send Data to Webhook:

   • Webhook URL: https://your-n8n/webhook/sensor-data
   • Example payload:

     {
       "temperature": 78.3,
       "humidity": 44.2,
       "voltage": 395.7,
       "timestamp": "2024-06-01T12:00:00Z"
     }
     

4. View in InfluxDB:

   • Log in to your InfluxDB/Grafana dashboard and query the new measurement.

✨ How To Customize

➕ Add‑ons (Advanced)

📈 Use Case Examples

1. Remote solar inverter sends temperature and voltage via webhook.
2. Environmental sensor hub logs humidity and air quality data every minute.
3. Smart greenhouse logs climate control sensor metrics.
4. Edge IoT devices periodically report health and diagnostics remotely.
