Ultimately, I want the watch to periodically query from InfluxDB, but as a simple(r) test, I first want to include the ESP InfluxDB library and use it to write the watch's battery level and step-count stats to InfluxDB.
Once I've got that working I'll then look at querying

To make the Influx library available, in Arduino's IDE I've gone to
Sketch->IncludeLibrary->Manage Librariesand then searched for and installedESP8266 InfluxDB(supports ESP32 too)Library details are at https://github.com/tobiasschuerg/InfluxDB-Client-for-Arduino

Adding InfluxDB stats writes (disabled) misc/watchy-experimentation#3
This adds a (now disabled) call to write stats to InfluxDB.
However, the write is currently failing without ever touching the network.
Need to either read through the library code to see what might be causing it or switch approach and build a HTTP request manually.

Enable writing of stats into InfluxDB misc/watchy-experimentation#3
Now, call me old-fashioned, but I'm of the mind that it helps if you TURN WIFI ON before attempting to write into the local network.
Points are confirmed to have arrived at their destination

The watch is now writing points into InfluxDB roughly every minute

Update database name and remove debug output misc/watchy-experimentation#3
Probably best not to scrawl "oops" across the watchface any time that a write can't be completed.
This also updates the database being written into from
testing_dbto the DB that I actually want the stats in.14-Jun-23 22:11
We're up and running, I'm going to mark this as done.
Will raise a seperate ticket for querying data from InfluxDB
