Adding Weather Station into MyCodo #1113

Open stickitandripit opened 3 years ago

stickitandripit commented 3 years ago

Hello,

Although this isn't a problem, I'm looking to intergrate my weather station into MyCodo and was hoping to get some direction how to achieve this.

The weather station im using and build guide is located here : https://projects.raspberrypi.org/en/projects/build-your-own-weather-station/6

It uses the RPi.bme280 which can be found and installed in the MyCodo dependences list, but I'm not sure how to move forward from there. I am wanting live statistics from the wind speed, gust, direction and rain fall sensors, which will allow me to activate an output (hose) is there isn't any rain while displaying the live sensor data.

Thankyou in advance, MyCodo is a great piece of software. Well done.

Kieren

Looking at https://github.com/RaspberryPiFoundation/weather-station, it appears they're using a MCP342x analog-to-digital converter to measure the analog sensors. This is also supported by Mycodo. If you look through the files, you'll find how they calculate things from the values, such as wind direction (https://github.com/RaspberryPiFoundation/weather-station/blob/stretch/wind_direction.json).
