Import into n8n

  1. Download the n8n JSON file (full or sanitized).
  2. In n8n: Workflows → Import from file.
  3. Open each node and reconnect credentials to your accounts.
  4. Test with manual execution before enabling triggers.

Sanitized JSON removes credential IDs — safer for sharing. Flow graph JSON is OpenRuna's lightweight format for diagrams and other tools, not n8n import.

Overview

Remote IOT Sensor monitoring via MQTT and InfluxDB (6-node n8n automation, mqtt, httpRequest) is free on OpenRuna — view the graph and export the JSON to import into n8n.

What this workflow does

This n8n workflow, "Remote IOT Sensor monitoring via MQTT and InfluxDB", wires together mqtt, httpRequest in 6 nodes. 6 nodes · mqtt, httpRequest A scheduled/triggered entry point kicks it off, and each node passes data to the next until the run completes. OpenRuna renders the node graph and offers the JSON export so you can import and adapt it in minutes. Use it to learn integration patterns, fork it for your own use case, or deploy it quickly after reconnecting credentials.

Use cases

  • Import "Remote IOT Sensor monitoring via MQTT and InfluxDB" into n8n, reconnect credentials for mqtt, httpRequest, and run the same automation in your own workspace.
  • Use it as a starting template when wiring mqtt, httpRequest — adjust node parameters to your accounts and record IDs.
  • Study how data moves from mqtt to httpRequest before building your own variant.
  • Share it with your team as a documented reference for scheduled/triggered automations in the mqtt stack.

Example output

Imported into n8n, "Remote IOT Sensor monitoring via MQTT and InfluxDB" exposes 6 configured nodes. Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. Integrations: mqtt, httpRequest. Set your credentials on the mqtt node, then verify each downstream node picks them up. Run it once in test mode to verify any branch logic (Switch/IF nodes) before enabling production triggers.

Tips by platform

Claude

Ask Claude to turn the "Remote IOT Sensor monitoring via MQTT and InfluxDB" JSON into a plain-English runbook, node by node. It can flag where mqtt rate limits or missing retries might bite before you go live.

ChatGPT

Drop the workflow JSON or this OpenRuna page URL into ChatGPT and ask for a step-by-step runbook: triggers, branches, and which fields to customise for mqtt, httpRequest. Handy for onboarding teammates new to n8n.

Cursor

In Cursor, ask Agent mode to parameterise "Remote IOT Sensor monitoring via MQTT and InfluxDB" — extract mqtt IDs and secrets into environment variables without changing the 6-node structure.

Frequently asked questions

How do I import "Remote IOT Sensor monitoring via MQTT and InfluxDB" into n8n?
Click Download n8n JSON on this page, then in n8n choose Workflows → Import from file and select the downloaded file. Reconnect credentials on each node — the export carries credential IDs from the original author's instance, not working secrets.
Which integrations does "Remote IOT Sensor monitoring via MQTT and InfluxDB" use?
It uses: mqtt, httpRequest. The flow diagram above shows how each service connects across the 6 nodes. Filter OpenRuna by integration to find related workflows and tools.
Can I import a sanitized export without credentials?
Yes. Use "Download sanitized JSON" to strip credential references before sharing internally. You will still add your own mqtt and httpRequest credentials in n8n after import.
What trigger type does "Remote IOT Sensor monitoring via MQTT and InfluxDB" use?
Trigger type: scheduled/triggered. After import, confirm the trigger node (webhook, schedule, or app event) matches your environment, then activate the workflow when you are ready to run it.
Is "Remote IOT Sensor monitoring via MQTT and InfluxDB" free to use?
OpenRuna catalogs community n8n workflows under open licenses. Check the source corpus link for the original license; commercial use may require verifying the third-party API terms for mqtt, httpRequest.
