Hello everyone I am trying to setup a new signal k server and I am working on getting the signalk-to-influxdb2 plugin working. I got influxdb installed I created a user, org, and bucket. The token is working with signalk but it says the org does not exist even though when I login to the ui I see both the org and the bucket.

To not overload my LifePO4 battery, I'd like it to have a way to tell the system that I'm docked in the home marina and that therefor the LifePO4 charger should keep it ~60% charged. Then, let's saya day before leaving for a trip, I'd like to set it to 'prepare for departure' and the charging should aim for 100%. Possibly cool the freezer, fill the tanks (watermaker), whatever else. I forgot the consensus on what the approach should be....

newbie question: I have freeboard-SK running, I'm getting observations from NOAA and changed the API path for openweather from 2.5 to 3.0 - but freeboard says "no weather available" - what am I missing?

Just FYI, Openweather has deprecated their 2.5 api for new accounts. You have to use the 3.0 Onecall API which requires an account with billing setup. I did create a fork of openweather-signalk project that uses a fork I made of openweather-apis that changes 2.5 to 3.0 as it's backwards compatible if anyone runs into the same issue I did.

I'm used to using degrees/decimal minutes for positions, i.e. 020° 44.56' E. But this format is not selectable in Freeboard. Is there a reason for the omission? Am I the only one who likes this format? 🙂
