Hello community,  
I am relatively new to InfluxDB. I using the node-influx library[node-influx](https://github.com/node-influx/node-influx) to write a client which will write data to DB.  
Whenever I am trying to write data using influx.writePoints() I get the following error:  
Error: A 400 Bad Request error occurred: {“error”:“unable to parse ‘NODE\_DELETE,name=Waypoint\_29,sectorReference=5ba4c104d638ec66e84086bf,\_type=NODE,type=NODE,id=5d920344cba5e62d005db3ef,service=nodesrv \_\_v=0,\_capabilities.0.\_action="2",\_capabilities.0.\_id="5d9203447f967a2d0e3501f9",\_capabilities.0.envelope.empty=true,\_neighbours.empty=true,\_occupado.empty=true,coordinates.geo.alt=0,coordinates.geo.lat=-0.00056,coordinates.geo.lng=0.000171,coordinates.id=null,coordinates.pose=0,coordinates.x=19.089936794741007,coordinates.xyz.x=19.089936794741007,coordinates.xyz.y=-62.37492954494213,coordinates.xyz.z=0,coordinates.y=-62.37492954494213,coordinates.z=0,depth=1,description="",innerCollision=false,innerSecurityZone=0.3,optional.empty=true,outerCollision=false,outerSecurityZone=0.9,params.capacity=10,params.counter=0,useLocalSettings=false’: invalid number”

Hello @Belly_Musketier,  
Thanks for your question. Is there any reason why you want to use such an old version? I recommend using 1.7 or 2.0.
