Nodejs generating duplicate http-requests

Hope some can help with my issue. i'm using below nodejs code from this SAP Tutorial to read Sensor values post them per HTTP. All works pretty fine, but for the fact that every record is posted twice(see Screenshot). i'm not versed with server-side JS and don't know why the duplicates.Agreed, the values not aways the same, but for further processing i'd like to have single datasets per timestamp. Could someone please help me locate the issue and if possible, provide a solution/workaround?

Also the script reads and transmits the data every 10s. Am looking for a way to set the interval to maybe 3mins. I would appreciate every bit of help here as well
