Some code experimenting with greenhouse telemetry and featured in myGreenhouse blog series
- Rasberry Pi 3 Model B v1.2
- Programmed in Python (may change later)
UsingTrello to keep track of work
We are using theAM2302 wired as follows
VCC -> Pi Pin 1GND -> Pi Pin 6DATA -> Pi Pin 7and theAdafruit Python Drivers which can be set up as follows
(1) Clone the drivers repo
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT.gitcd Adafruit_Python_DHT(2) Make sure python is up to date
sudo apt-get upgradesudo apt-get install build-essential python-dev
(3) Install the Adafruit drivers
sudo python setup.py install
(4) Run the test to make sure it worked
cd examplessudo ./AdafruitDHT.py 2302 4Local weather data is retrieved fromOpenWeatherMap API and recorded to DB for each reading for comparison.
Data is recorded to a local InfluxDB

Install sshfs, link development machine to Pi by mounting the source directory and open in development environment
dnf install sshfsmkdir /mnt/pi/ghsshfs pi@<PI_IP>:/mnt/pi/gh /home/src/pi/gh
You will need to fill config.properties with
[Deploy]name = "my deployment name"[AM2302]pin = <pin thhat AM2302 is attached to>[Weather]location = <location for querying>open_weather_map_app_id = <your personal app.id>Delete and recreate a new InfluxDb database
python init_db.py
Run the peripheral read loop
python read_cycle.py
which will start to fill up a specified InfluxDB
Running in a test environment (not on a Raspberry Pi with a AM2302 sensor) will require swapping out the used ofTestClimateDataSource for theAM2302DataSource. I'm yet to figure out a nice way to automate this.
There's a simple control cycle in place in run_greenhouse.py. This will turn a light on during daylight hours and keep track of soil moisture. It also has the ability to turn on water which hasn't been included in the cycle quite yet.
- Add power generation and usage monitoring
- Add light sensors, window state/control and perhaps automated watering
- Add camera
