Purpose
To monitor air temperature, humidity, and air quality.
Air Quality
A friend sent me a Nova PM Sensor. I do not know python yet, but looking over the script that is readily available[1][2] I should be able to modify this to work for my needs.
mkdir -p /home/pi/build/air && cd /home/pi/build/air sudo apt install git-core python-serial python-enum mariadb-server wget -O aqi.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zefanja/aqi/master/python/aqi.py echo [] > aqi.json sed -i 's|/var/www/html/aqi.json|/home/pi/build/air/aqi.json|' aqi.py
At this point we can run the script, see output on the screen, and see the history written to the json file.
./aqi.py Y: 18, M: 1, D: 18, ID: 0xbc2d, CRC=OK PM2.5: 0.0 , PM10: 0.0 PM2.5: 0.7 , PM10: 0.7 PM2.5: 0.6 , PM10: 0.6 PM2.5: 0.7 , PM10: 0.7
However, I want the history written to a database. Configure mariadb anyway you want, if you have credentials keep them on hand.
Now we edit the script to work with mysql[3]
