The first large chunk of code creates an instance of the Adafruit IO REST client and sets up the feeds we created earlier in the guide. Then, it creates an I2C interface object and passes it to the sensor.
# Create an instance of the REST client
aio = Client(ADAFRUIT_IO_USERNAME, ADAFRUIT_IO_KEY)
# set up Adafruit IO feeds
temperature = aio.feeds('temperature')
humidity = aio.feeds('humidity')
outdoor_lights = aio.feeds('outdoor-lights')
indoor_lights = aio.feeds('indoor-lights')
# create an i2c interface object
i2c = I2C(SCL, SDA)
# instanciate the sensor object
sensor = adafruit_si7021.SI7021(i2c)
In the while True loop, we obtain the temperature and humidity data from the sensor. Then, we print out and send this data to Adafruit IO using aio.send()
# get data from the si7021 sensor
temperature_data = sensor.temperature
humidity_data = sensor.relative_humidity
# send data to adafruit io
print('> Temperature: ', int(temperature_data))
aio.send(temperature.key, int(temperature_data))
print('> Humidity :', int(humidity_data))
aio.send(temperature.key, int(humidity_data))
Next, we get the hex value from the color picker on the dashboard by using the aio.receive() method. The hex is then converted to individual RGB values using the io-python-client library's helper functions.
# get the indoor light color picker feed indoor_light_data = aio.receive(indoor_lights.key) # convert the hex values to RGB values red = aio.toRed(indoor_light_data.value) green = aio.toGreen(indoor_light_data.value) blue = aio.toBlue(indoor_light_data.value)
To set the color of the NeoPixel Strip or Jewel, we use a loop to set the color of each pixel.
# set the jewel's color
for i in range(JEWEL_PIXEL_COUNT):
pixels[i] = (red, green, blue)
pixels.show()
Enter the following command into your terminal to run the code:
sudo python3 io_house_light_temp.py
Note: The NeoPixel library will not work without prepending the script with sudo, as peripherals need to be run as root on the Raspberry Pi.
You should see the code sending the humidity and temperature values to the Adafruit IO dashboard:
Adafruit IO Home: Lights and Climate Control > Temperature: 24 > Humidity : 57
Visit the IO-Home Dashboard you created on Adafruit IO. You should see the temperature and humidity gauges reflect the values sent from your code.
Change the color picker on the Adafruit IO dashboard and you should see the colors change!
< Indoor Light HEX: #52ff00 < Outdoor Light HEX: #000000
