This is a simple home monitoring solution based on, at least one, raspberry pi. Data transfer is done via mqtt (mosquitto), for storage is influxdb used, and displayed via a Grafana frontend.
At the moment this is only based on Python scripts on RaspberryPi nodes. I want to add nodes based on ESP8266 and/or ESP32. Maybe also a NRF24 based sensor network.
Packet format:
{"type":"<meassurement type>","value": <meassured value>, "node": <node name>}
- simple installer script
- create ESP8266 Node with DHT22
- config file for available sensors
- auto discovery of mqtt node?
- create single crontab based on sensor config
- make ingestor a real demonized server instead of a python script in a screen
- Simple LDR based light sensor
- IR movment sensor
- clamp ammeter

Install influxdb and grafana
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/i/influxdb/influxdb_1.1.1+dfsg1-4_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i influxdb_1.1.1+dfsg1-4_armhf.deb
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/grafana/grafana-data_2.6.0+dfsg-3_all.deb # grafana data is a dependancy for grafana
sudo dpkg -i grafana-data_2.6.0+dfsg-3_all.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/grafana/grafana_2.6.0+dfsg-3_armhf.deb
sudo dpkg -i grafana_2.6.0+dfsg-3_armhf.deb
sudo apt-get install -f
Enable grafana by default
sudo systemctl enable grafana-server
sudo systemctl start grafana-server
Install the mqtt server
sudo apt-get install -y mosquitto mosquitto-clients
add /home/pi/envmonitor/ingestor/ingestor.sh to /etc/rc.local
Install software
sudo apt-get update

sudo python setup.py install
sudo pip install paho-mqtt
sudo reboot
Install crontab
crontab -e

Note: The value send by this Sensor is actual in Pascal so do display hPa you need to divide by 100 to get actual hPa values that are used everywhere.
