Reports the temperature of an area to a mailing list when it falls out of a threshold, from a Raspberry Pi

temp-report

• A project to report the temperature of an area to a mailing list when it falls out of a threshold, from a Raspberry Pi
• Handles logging, graphing, mailing a list, replying to requests for data and displaying a webpage
• This project is archived, as it was created for learning and is now largely unused
  • As it's unused and quite a lot needs maintaining, I don't feel it's worth the effort

Dependencies:

• All required and recommended packages are automatically installed when running the installer, except scipy, which needs to be installed manually

• Python / Pip

  • Python 3.6+
  • cython
  • flask
  • matplotlib
  • numpy
  • pillow
  • scipy
  • setuptools
  • w1thermsensor

• Source / Package Manager

  • build-essential
  • gcc && g++
  • gfortran
  • libopenblas-dev && libopenblas-base && libatlas-base-dev
  • tmux

Installation:

• Make sure the wiring for the sensor is complete (Diagram can be found at the end)
• git clone https://github.com/stuarthayhurst/temp-report.git
• Install scipy, python (3.6+) and pip3
• Install other dependencies listed in the previous section
• Enable OneWire: echo "dtoverlay=w1-gpio" | sudo tee -a /boot/config.txt > /dev/null
• Generate the configs: python3 tempreport.py -c
• Run python3 tempreport.py --help, and set a sender email address, name and password
• Run python3 tempreport.py -a to setup a mailing list
• Change config values to your liking, in data/config.py

Commands and help:

• Use python3 tempreport.py -h to view help
• Use tmux att -t temp_report to view the program
• Use tmux att -t temp_listener to view the email reply bot
• Use tmux att -t temp_log to view the automatic temperature log
• Use tmux att -t temp_web to view the web frontend log
• Run ./install/setup.sh to allow the program to start on boot
• After an update, add any missing config values from data/config-template.py to data/config.py
• A Pi 3 or better is strongly recommended
