Request: Additional influxDB instructions in the manual - HeviiSailor - 2023-03-31

I've recently come across a situation where I wanted to direct an i2C sensor's data to influxDB. Unfortunately, this wasn't one which is currently included in the "supported" device dropdown.


Although I was told that eventually it will make the list pending the Developer's ability to pull away from more urgent tasks, I was left with a sensor which seemingly I can't use. Surely there's a way other than through OpenPlotter's interface that one can register any sensor as an influxDB data source (I'm confident that the good search bots at Google will enlighten me).


I think that it would be beneficial for all if Open Plotter's manual could include a paragraph describing the steps necessary to add any sensor.
