bme280-websensor

A Python project to read environmental data from a BME280 sensor and publish it on a webserver built with Flask. The published sensor data can then be accessed and utilized by INDIlib for further processing.

Features

• Reads temperature, humidity, and pressure data from the BME280 sensor using Python.
• Serves sensor data in HTML format through Flask webserver.
• Designed for integration with INDIlib for astronomical instrumentation and control.

Installation

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/ecalandrini/bme280-websensor.git
   cd bme280-websensor

2. (Optional) Create and activate a virtual environment:

   python3 -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate  # On Windows: venv\Scripts\activate

3. Install the required Python packages:

   pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Connect your BME280 sensor to the device running this script (e.g., Raspberry Pi).

2. Start the Flask Server:

   python3 server_api.py

3. Access sensor data:

   http://your-device-ip:5000/

4. Move the driver configuration file "Weather Wather_config.xml" in the .indi folder

5. Run the bash script with sudo privileges

   sudo bash install_service.sh

Project Structure

• api_server.py — Flask application serving sensor data.
