Install your favorite text editor.
sudo apt-get install vim
wget https://gist.githubusercontent.com/salekd/1ebae93b5d237daebaf2dfc101b92e19/raw/81d74c53f6ccc1db9f41433a678d4696a7663196/.vimrc
Install Python 3.
sudo apt-get install python3 python3-dev python3-pip libglib2.0-dev
Install Git and clone the plant monitor repository.
sudo apt-get install git
git clone https://github.com/salekd/plant_monitor_rpi.git
Xiaomi Mi plant sensor is used to take measurements.
http://www.huahuacaocao.com/product
Get the Python package for reading the sensor data and install.
git clone https://github.com/open-homeautomation/miflora.git
cd miflora
git checkout v0.2.0
sudo python3 setup.py install
and read further information here https://github.com/open-homeautomation/miflora.git
Get the Python package for accessing Bluetooth Low Energy devices.
https://github.com/IanHarvey/bluepy
sudo pip3 install bluepy
Run the following command to find out the MAC address of your device.
sudo hcitool lescan
At some point you should see a line like this
C4:7C:8D:65:BD:76 Flower care
This is an example code for reading the sensor data. You will need to specify the MAC address of your device.
from miflora.miflora_poller import MiFloraPoller
from miflora.backends.bluepy import BluepyBackend
poller = MiFloraPoller('C4:7C:8D:65:BD:76', BluepyBackend)
poller.fill_cache()
poller._parse_data()
There is a script in this repository for reading the sensor data and uploading the measurement to the database located in AWS. Change to the project directory
cd /home/pi/plant_monitor
specify the device MAC address and the REST API URL in the raspberrypi.cfg configuration file and run the python script.
python3 read_miflora.py
Taking measurements automatically can be scheduled using cron jobs. Edit crontab
crontab -e
and add the following line to schedule taking measurements twice a day, at 6am and 6pm.
0 6,18 * * * cd /home/pi/plant_monitor_rpi && /usr/bin/python3 read_miflora.py
Raspberry Pi NoIR Camera Board v2 is used to capture images of plants.
Run sudo raspi-config and choose in the menu to enable the pi camera and reboot.
You can take a snapshot from the command line like this
raspistill -o `date "+%Y%m%d%H%M%S"`.jpg
Information about the Python interface can be found here https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/usage/camera/python/README.md
Install the following packages.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install python3-picamera
This is an example Python code to take a snapshot.
import picamera
camera = picamera.PiCamera()
camera.capture('image.jpg')
Similar to taking measurements using the plant sensor, there is a Python script in this repository to take snapshots and upload the images to AWS.
python3 take_photo.py
The script uses a unique identifier as part of the image name. The unique identifier you wish to use for your Raspberry Pi can be configured in raspberrypi.cfg. One of the options is to use the serial number. It can be obtained in the following way.
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep Serial | cut -d ' ' -f 2
Taking snapshots automatically can be scheduled using cron jobs. Edit crontab
crontab -e
and add the following line to schedule taking measurements every hour during a day.
0 6-18 * * * cd /home/pi/plant_monitor_rpi && /usr/bin/python3 take_photo.py
Get the Python package for reading the sensor data and install.
git clone https://github.com/THP-JOE/Python_SI1145.git
cd Python_SI1145
sudo python3 setup.py install
python3 read_SI11145.py
