Temperature and humity measure with DHT 11 and raspberry pi using python
For my little IoT project I need some data. The first sensor will be a cheap humidity and temperature sensor DHT 11 (Temperatur- und Feuchtigkeitssensor DHT11 inkl. Zubehör
Setup:
The setup looks like this
The resistor is between 4,7k Ohm and 10k Ohm. The data pin (the second pin from the left on the sensor) is connected to GPIO #4, The first pin ohirn the left on the sensor is connected to 3.3V Pin on the raspberry py and the last sensor pin is connected to ground. The third sensor pin is not used.
To read the data from the sensor the Adafruit_Python_DHT library from Adafruit is used.
If you are using python 2 use this to get the source and install the lib
git clone https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_Python_DHT.git
cd Adafruit_Python_DHT/
sudo python setup.py install
if you are using python 3 use this:
git clone https://github.com/JoBergs/Adafruit_Python_DHT
cd Adafruit_Python_DHT/
sudo python3 setup.py install --force-pi
The option --force-pi is only necessary if you do not run this on the raspberry pi.he
The data collected from the sensor will be transmitted to the REST Service described here
This is the code that sends the data to the Service.
import requests
import Adafruit_DHT
# Init the DHT11
sensor = Adafruit_DHT.DHT11
# GPIO 4 is used
pin = 4
# now read the values
humidity, temperature = Adafruit_DHT.read_retry(sensor, pin)
uuid = "Sensor1"
data = "empty"
if humidity is not None and temperature is not None:
data = 'Temp={0:0.1f}*C Humidity={1:0.1f}%'.format(temperature, humidity)
payload = {'data':data, 'uuid':uuid}
requests.put("http://localhost:8080/sensor/", json=payload)use
sudo python3 DHTDataProvider.py
to run this code.
