interior exterior

Features

  • Logging temperature & humidity.
  • Logging battery & pv voltage.
  • Access to logged data through WiFi hotspot and web app.
  • Logs visualisation using chart.js.

Setup

  1. clone repo
  2. clone submodules
git submodule update --init --recursive
  1. set HOTSPOT_SSID and HOTSPOT_PASSWORD in config.py
  2. set WEATHER_LOGS_PER_HOUR in config.py (default logging sensors data every 20 minutes).
  3. format sd card (FAT32).
  4. chart.js setup: rpi pico doesn't have enough space for flashing css/js libs, get chart.js from cdns (https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/chart.js@4.3.0/dist/chart.umd.min.js), then put it on sd card /static/libs/chart.js.
  5. flash RPi Pico.
