Rather than do it like that you would get a much more flexible system
using node-red in conjunction with influxdb to store the data and
grafana to show it. Then you would be able to easily review
historical data, zoom in, etc.
Health Warning: node-red is highly addictive and may well have a
detrimental effect on your personal relationships. There is an
excellent help group for those suffering from this at
https://discourse.nodered.org, though the chances of long term
recovery are slim.
