Air @ home

Air quality and temp @ home

  • Date: Jan 2018
  • Idea/Intention: Create a dashboard for my home. Capture data on air quality, air temperature, and plant metrics. Learn about trends over time.
  • Sourced Data from: Wio sensors.
  • Technology stack:
    • Sensors: Wio sensors.
    • Python + Cron: Script run regularly to pull data from sensor and write it to an [InfluxDB]().
    • Charting: Grafana
  • Challenges:
    • Getting the Grafana and Influx stack up. But once the docker images were up its been smooth sailing for the most part.
  • Outcome:
    • Charts which I can easlity switch the time scale on.
    • End of last year I deployed some remote sensors in India and had them report back to here.
  • Next steps:
    • Fix the plant sensors.
    • Add more.
  • The Viz:

Air temp and quality for 1 week vs 1 year

One Week

One Year

  • Anyone: What's a good and bad reading? Ideally what should this look like?

Gas readings for a year

Air temp and quality for 1 week vs 1 year (The मेरा गाँव Edition)

One Week - The sensors were turned back on after a vacation

One Year - You see the gap is cause the sensors were off during vacation

My plant talks, but I don't listen

  • The first chart is moisture and the second is light.
  • I think the moisture sensor is broken, or my plant is dying of thirst. I just watered it out now out of guilt.
