The temp_humidity.py code uses Raspberry Pi GPIO Pin 26 by default. If you'd like to use a different pin, change the DHT_DATA_PIN variable.
DHT_DATA_PIN = 26
Before running, we'll need to set our Adafruit IO Key and Adafruit IO Username. You can find both of these on your Adafruit IO profile page
# 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'
The next chunk of code creates an instance of the Adafruit IO REST client, sets up the temperature and humidity feeds, and sets up the DHT22 sensor.
# Create an instance of the REST client.
aio = Client(ADAFRUIT_IO_USERNAME, ADAFRUIT_IO_KEY)
# Set up Adafruit IO Feeds.
temperature_feed = aio.feeds('temperature')
humidity_feed = aio.feeds('humidity')
# Set up DHT22 Sensor.
dht22_sensor = Adafruit_DHT.DHT22
in the while True loop, we first try to grab the humidity and sensor readings using Adafruit_DHT.read_retry which retries (up to 15 times) to get a sensor reading.
humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(sensor, DHT_DATA_PIN)
If the DHT sensor receives a reading, it'll print out both of the values and send them to the Adafruit IO temperature and humidity feeds.
print('Temp={0:0.1f}*C Humidity={1:0.1f}%'.format(temperature, humidity))
aio.send(temperature.key, temperature)
aio.send(humidity.key, humidity)
Sometimes you won't get a sensor reading and the results will be null (because Linux can't guarantee the timing of calls to read to the sensor). If that occurs, we'll print to the terminal. Then, we sleep for DHT_READ_TIMEOUT until the next read.
In your terminal, enter the following command to run the code:
python3 temp_humidity.py
You should now see the temperature and humidity values being sent to Adafruit IO.
Temp=25.5*C Humidity=59.1% Temp=25.5*C Humidity=59.1% Temp=25.5*C Humidity=59.1% Temp=25.4*C Humidity=59.0%
Check your dashboard on Adafruit IO, and you should see the line chart update with the changes in temperature and humidity.
