Grafana and value that rarely changes

InfluxDB to store data in intervals

Hi does the InfluxDB integration have an option to store sensor data in intervals and not only on change? I’m storing some sensor data to influxdb for visualisation in grafana, like the state for my room lights or device tracker state. In grafana I use polystat- or statusmap-panels to display the data, similar to history-graph in Lovelace, but grafana has better options to change the timeframe to be displayed, custom colouring based on value, … The query limits the data to the configured tim…
