This is great stuff, Magnus.  It's all these little practical details 
that help some one planning a similar activity know what kinds of stuff 
happens - it won't be the same, of course, but it's the kind of thing 
you encounter.

And why we used to have this cynical phrase "all you gotta do is..."

Someone would have a block diagram on the white board or a power point 
slide - it looks simple in concept, but the practicalities take a lot of 
time and effort.

One thing that one seems to always have to create your own tools for is 
combining time series of measurement, where the clock are not the same. 
InfluxdB does time serieses (or, I suppose, it has a native time type 
and is theoretically optimized for such things), but it doesn't do 
resynchronization or time correlation. That's still on the user.
