README

pi-room ⛅

Raspberry Pi setup to track a room's following conditions:

• Temperature
• Humidity
• Air pressure
• Light brightness

Inspiration based on this blog post by @inkdrop_app

Requirements

• Go 1.13+
• Raspberry Pi (I used Model 3)
• ANAVI Infrared pHAT - Advanced Kit
• Cloud Firestore (Firebase)

Installation

go get github.com/jumbosushi/pi-room

Development

git clone https://github.com/jumbosushi/pi-room.git
cd pi-room
make

Usage

1. Set up Raspberry Pi

I recommend this tutorial!

2. Set up Cloud Firestore

Follow Firebase's official doc to create a service account. Download the account's key file on your pi and update the path under TODO in main.go

3. Download anavi scripts

Clone the anavi-examples repo in your pi at the home directory (/home/pi).

Run make in the following directories:

• sensors/HTU21D/c
• sensors/BMP180/c
• sensors/BH1750/c

4. Run the script

pi-room will now be able to send metrics to Firestore 🎉

I recommend running it as a cron job every couple minutes and monitoring it on CronHub
