For databases that have measurentments with float (default) types for number values (for example ingest data with influxdb 0.2.3 version)

I'm sorry, I don't understand.

If you want to store float values in InfluxDB with this Ruby gem, simply ensure your values are not ints:

cli = InfluxDB::Client #...
cli.write_point "sonsors", tags: { sensor: "temp42" }, values: { temperature: 23.0 }

As stated above, you need to ensure your ingested data fits your schema (value.to_f is a feasible workaround you could apply).

The gems works as intended: it will store the data points with the type you provide.
