Measure, display and log temperatures with Raspberry PI 3B.
This is a simple hobby project for logging temperatures of my heat pump and heating system.Feel free to use it in your own projects (Apache License Version 2.0).
It contains some icons fromFlaticon, licenseCreative Commons BY 3.0, seeCREDITS for details.
Show the current readings
Show how temperatures developed over the last 24 hours
Publish all temperature readings to a MQTT broker. This allows to track and show them in common MQTT apps.The MQTT messages contain JSON with timestamp and value:
{ "status": "ok", "timestamp": "2020-11-13T17:08:57.753064", "value": 9.697, "unit": "°C", "formatted": "9.7" }The temperature readings are written to CSV files and held for 32 days. This also allows to immediately re-fill the graphs view after restart.
- Raspberry PI 3B
- Official Raspberry PI 7" touch display, 800x480 (expensive, but well supported in Raspbian, multi-touch)
- Official Raspberry power supply 5.1V/2.5A with additional 330uF capacitor for stabilization (Raspi is quite picky here...)
- Heat sink on Raspberry CPU (... to avoid the random crashes that may occur otherwise)
- DS 18B20 temperature sensors (1-Wire bus allows many sensors at the same GPIO port, well supported in Raspbian)
- TSIC 306 temperature sensors (high accurracy, expensive, but already installed from a previous project)
- Raspbian Buster
- Python 3.7
- UI toolkit Kivy (nice and simple UIs with multi-touch support)
- Charts with Kivy Garden Graph (fast drawing)
- TSIC temperature sensors: python module tsic (sensor reading based on pigpio)
- GPIO access: pigpio (IO with precise timing)
