https://github.com/influxdata/community-templates/tree/master/iot_center/iot_center.yml

IoT Center dashboard

The IoT Center is a simple JavaScript-enabled demo application that showcases the capabilities of the InfluxDB platform. It collects, stores and displays a set of values that include temperature, humidity, pressure, CO2 concentration, air quality, as well as provides GPS coordinates from a set of IoT devices. With this data stored in InfluxDB, the application can query this data for display as well as write data back into the database.

IoT Center is based on Node.js and React and writes measurements into an instance of InfluxDB as well as queries that same database with the use of the InfluxDB JavaScript client libraries.
