Title: Sensors
Date: 2022-05-24
Category: Notes
Summary: A dashboard for various sensors around my house.
Summary: Graphs of various sensors around my house.
Short: d
I wrote a custom [dashboard](https://sensors.dns.t0.vc/) to visualize data from various sensors around my house. I'm a huge fan of sensors because they're at the intersection of what I love: electronics, home automation, and data hoarding.
## Graphs
These graphs are live and updated once per minute, assuming the script works:
![a graph](https://sensor-pics.dns.t0.vc/Solar_Power.png)
Black: power (W), green: energy (kWh)
![a graph](https://sensor-pics.dns.t0.vc/Living_Room_Air.png)
Black: PM10 (ug/m³), red: PM2.5 (ug/m³), blue: CO₂ (ppm), green: VOC / 500
![a graph](https://sensor-pics.dns.t0.vc/Outside_Temperature.png)
Black: temperature (°C)
![a graph](https://sensor-pics.dns.t0.vc/Bedroom_Temperature.png)
Black: temperature (°C), green: humidity (%)
![a graph](https://sensor-pics.dns.t0.vc/Nook_Temperature.png)
Black: temperature (°C), green: humidity (%)
![a graph](https://sensor-pics.dns.t0.vc/Misc_Temperature.png)
Black: temperature (°C), green: humidity (%)
![a graph](https://sensor-pics.dns.t0.vc/Nook_Thermostat.png)
Black: temperature (°C), red: setpoint (°C), green: state (off / heating / cooling)
![a graph](https://sensor-pics.dns.t0.vc/Gas_Usage.png)
Black: total (MJ), green: delta (MJ)
![a graph](https://sensor-pics.dns.t0.vc/Water_Usage.png)
Black: total (L), green: delta (L)
![a graph](https://sensor-pics.dns.t0.vc/Living_Room_Lux.png)
Black: light (lx)
## Live Dashboard
A live interactive version can be found on this [dashboard](https://sensors.dns.t0.vc/).
You can find the [source code](https://git.tannercollin.com/tanner/sensors) on my Gitea.

## Data Capture
Most of the data is captured by two cheap RTL-SDRs (software-defined radios) that are set to listen to 433 MHz and 915 MHz radio frequencies. I use the open-source project [rtl_433](https://github.com/merbanan/rtl_433) to automatically decode the signals and forward them to an MQTT broker, which is a messaging server that services can publish and subscribe to. Other sensors run an MQTT client directly or expose their data through other means like a web interface that I poll.
