First, we're going to import the libraries used by our code to read sensor values, use CircuitPython on our Pi, and read/write to Adafruit IO using the REST client.
# Import standard python modules import time # import Adafruit Blinka import board import busio # import sensor libraries import adafruit_sgp30 import adafruit_veml6070 import adafruit_bme280 # import Adafruit IO REST client from Adafruit_IO import Client, Feed, RequestError
Next, we'll set up our code with our Adafruit IO username and secret key. If you need these values, navigate to your Adafruit IO profile. We'll also create an instance of the REST client with these values.
# Set to your Adafruit IO key. # Remember, your key is a secret, # so make sure not to publish it when you publish this code! ADAFRUIT_IO_KEY = 'YOUR_AIO_KEY' # Set to your Adafruit IO username. # (go to https://accounts.adafruit.com to find your username) ADAFRUIT_IO_USERNAME = 'YOUR_AIO_USERNAME' # Create an instance of the REST client aio = Client(ADAFRUIT_IO_USERNAME, ADAFRUIT_IO_KEY)
The code next assigns feeds, or creates and assigns them. Then, we create an I2C busio object and create objects for the VEML6070, BME280, and SGP30 sensors.
# Create busio I2C i2c = busio.I2C(board.SCL, board.SDA, frequency=100000) # Create VEML6070 object. uv = adafruit_veml6070.VEML6070(i2c) # Create BME280 object. bme280 = adafruit_bme280.Adafruit_BME280_I2C(i2c) bme280.sea_level_pressure = 1013.25 # Create SGP30 object using I2C. sgp30 = adafruit_sgp30.Adafruit_SGP30(i2c) sgp30.iaq_init() sgp30.set_iaq_baseline(0x8973, 0x8aae)
in the while True loop, we read data from the SGP30, VEML6070, and the BME280. The VEML6070 samples ten times before arriving at a final data.
# Read SGP30.
eCO2_data = sgp30.eCO2
tvoc_data = sgp30.TVOC
# Read VEML6070, sample ten times.
for j in range(10):
uv_data = uv.read
# Read BME280.
temp_data = bme280.temperature
# convert temperature (C->F)
temp_data = int(temp_data) * 1.8 + 32
humid_data = bme280.humidity
pressure_data = bme280.pressure
alt_data = bme280.altitude
Then, we send our data to Adafruit IO. Since we'll be sending a lot of data to our feeds, we added a pause between sending each sensor's data to its corresponding Adafruit IO Feeds.
# Send SGP30 Data to Adafruit IO.
print('eCO2:', eCO2_data)
aio.send(eCO2_feed.key, eCO2_data)
print('tvoc:', tvoc_data)
aio.send(tvoc_feed.key, tvoc_data)
time.sleep(SENSOR_DELAY)
Finally, we wait for LOOP_DELAY minutes. If you want to report data more quickly or slowly, adjust the LOOP_DELAY variable at the start of the code.
Make sure you have your Adafruit IO Username and Key set up and that your Pi is connected to the internet. Then, enter the following in your terminal to run the code:
python3 environmental_monitor.py
You should see the following output in your terminal:
Reading sensors... sending data to adafruit io... eCO2: 400 tvoc: 0 UV Level: 3 Temperature: 75.2 C Humidity: 54.8 % Pressure: 1008.1 hPa Altitude = 42.68 meters
Your dashboard should populate with values. Note that it will take the SGP30 at least ten reads before it obtains a baseline measurement.
