Messing With The Pi

Started putting together sensors on the Raspberry Pi, writing code in Python to integrate it with a Slack bot.

Here’s the Pi with the temperature / humdity sensor:

_config.yml

Here’s the Slack bot that I can ask about the current temperature and humidity in the house:

_config.yml

The code for the Slack bot is in the pi-slack-bot repository.

I will write a more detailed post on hardware and the bot in follow up posts. I am also planning to build a script that uses Plotly Python API to show real-time sensor data in the context of last 24 hour rolling window.
