bme280-logger

Read sensor data from a bme280 and upload to InfluxDB

Tested with Raspbian 10 (buster) on Raspberry Pi Zero W with Adafruit BME280 hooked up over I2C. Should be reasonably easy to adapt to different sensor types.

Installation

1. Install InfluxDB and the python InfluxDB client:

   sudo apt-get install influxdb influxdb-client python3-influxdb
   

2. Install the BME280 and required libraries, and pytest:

   sudo pip3 install adafruit-circuitpython-bme280 pytest
   

3. Clone this repo someplace.

4. Edit configuration in sensor_config.py

5. Edit ExecStart in bme280-logger.service to point to the path to the logger service in the repo, then install and launch bme280-logger.service:

   sudo cp bme280-logger.service /etc/systemd/system
   sudo systemctl start bme280-logger.service
   sudo systemctl enable bme280-logger.service
   

Testing

To test on a system without InfluxDB or a real BME280, use pytest:

python3 -m pytest bme280-logger.py
