Bridger is a Meshtastic MQTT to InfluxDB metrics bridge. It listens to MQTT for protobuf messages and uses those to push metrics to InfluxDB.

## Usage

You will need InfluxDB and a MQTT broker running or available already.

Copy the the `.env.default` file to `.env` and view for the environment variables that can be set. The following are required:

 - MQTT_TOPIC

 - MQTT_BROKER

 - MQTT_USER

 - MQTT_PASS

 - INFLUXDB_V2_BUCKET

 - INFLUXDB_V2_ORG

 - INFLUXDB_V2_TOKEN

 - INFLUXDB_V2_URL

Then install the required packages in a Python virtual environment:

```bash

pip install -r requirements.txt

```

And run the script:

```bash

python -m bridger

```

## Node Setup

To get your Meshtastic node to send metrics to the MQTT broker you will need to set the following settings:

MQTT Module:

* Enabled: `Checked`

* MQTT Server Address: `mqtt.austinmesh.org`

* MQTT Password:
