Sensor Pi

Go to the Raspberry Pi app

The Sensor-Pi is currently monitoring: Inside/Outside/Ambient temperatures, (day) Light intensity, Atmospheric pressure, (inside) Relative humidity. and when you look at the Raspberry Pi-App you will see it is not even breaking a sweat, and not using much energy.

I do want to get a wall outlet power meter to see what it is actually using, for I got a ESP 32 laying ready and to see if that can do the same as the Pi and more important is as easy to get running (for me).

I will be writing blog posts on how I got it all running with code ofc. but currently a bit busy setting up all these blogs/website/apps.

Planning for the Sensor-Pi:

• See if I can do it with an ESP32 as well.
• Currently using a website file to share the sensor data, want to see if I can get Internet of Things (IOT) working with MTTQ and share the data that way
• Move the light sensor outside above roof line so I get better sunlight reading.
• maybe adding more sensors, but right now not sure which.

Sensor Pi:

• Raspberry Pi Zero (WH)
• Acryl Case (blue)
• Powersupply 5V 1A micro USB
• Raspberry Pi 16GB MicroSD card (was included with the Raspberry-Pi fan kit)
• 3 x DS18B20 Temperature sensors
• 1 x BH1750 Light intensity sensor
• 1 x BME280 (5v) Pressure/Humidity/Temperature Sensor
• Running Raspberry Pi OS 32bit Lite
• Adafruit circuit Python scrips for the BH1750 and BME280 on I2C
• W1 Circuit (included with Raspberry OS) for the DS18B20
• Python3 script for collecting all sensor data and writing it to a txt file
• Nginx for serving the txt file on local network for the Server-Pi to collect
