// InfluxDB configuration
const char* INFLUXDB_URL = "your-influxdb-url";
const char* INFLUXDB_TOKEN = "your-token";
const char* INFLUXDB_ORG = "your-org";
const char* INFLUXDB_BUCKET = "your-bucket";

// WiFi configuration
const char* WIFI_SSID = "your-ssid";
const char* WIFI_PASSWORD = "your-password";

// Create IoT client
LightweightIoT iot;

void setup() {
    Serial.begin(115200);
    
    // Connect to WiFi
    WiFi.begin(WIFI_SSID, WIFI_PASSWORD);
    while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
        delay(500);
        Serial.print(".");
    }
    
    // Configure and begin
    iot.setConfig(INFLUXDB_URL, INFLUXDB_TOKEN, INFLUXDB_ORG, INFLUXDB_BUCKET);
    iot.begin();
    
    // Add tags
    iot.addTag("device", "sensor1");
    iot.addTag("location", "room1");
}

void loop() {
    // Read sensor data
    float temperature = 23.5; // Replace with actual sensor reading
    
    // Send data
    if (iot.writePoint("temperature", temperature)) {
        Serial.println("Data sent successfully");
    } else {
        Serial.println("Failed to send data");
    }
    
    delay(60000); // Wait for 1 minute
}

The library includes several example sketches demonstrating different features:

1. BasicExample: Simple data transmission
2. BasicTemperature: Temperature monitoring
3. BasicBatch: Batch data collection
4. BasicMultiSensor: Multiple sensor handling
5. EnergyMonitoring: Power consumption monitoring
6. EnvironmentalMonitoring: Environmental data with power saving
7. MultiSensorExample: Advanced sensor management

Find these examples in the Arduino IDE under File -> Examples -> LightweightIoT

iot.beginBatch();
for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
    float temperature = readTemperature(); // Your sensor reading function
    iot.addToBatch("temperature", temperature);
    delay(1000);
}
iot.endBatch();

if (!iot.writePoint("temperature", temperature)) {
    Serial.print("Error: ");
    Serial.println(iot.getLastErrorMessage());
}

// Enable low power mode with 5-minute deep sleep
iot.setDeepSleepDuration(300000);
iot.enableLowPowerMode(true);
