Log Temperature
Log temperature / air pressure to a Google Sheet with a Raspberry Pi
Setup
1. Python configuration
Install Python 3.6 (Note: This step can take several hours to run)
Install the required packages: pip3.6 install gspread oauth2client
2. Setup the temperature sensor
Install Adafruit_Python_BMP python module
Enable the I2C protocol feature in Raspberry Pi
3. Get access to Google Sheets API
Follow the tutorial here to get API access to Google Sheets
Put the resulting client_secret.json file in this directory
Open logger.py and set the SPREADSHEET_NAME variable to the title of your spreadsheet.
(You can also specify the worksheet tab name, if you're using a specific tab)
4. Running the script
Run python3.6 logger.py to get a temperature and pressure reading and log it to the google sheet.
5. Scheduling the script
Run crontab -e to edit your crontab and add the following line (you may have to adjust the path based on where you cloned the repository). This will make the script run every 5 minutes.
