Advanced Python Development Sensors

This is the data collection package that forms part of the running example for the book Advanced Python Development.

Usage

This installs a console script called sensors that returns a report on various aspects of the system. The available sensors are:

• Python version
• IP Addresses
• CPU Usage
• RAM Available
• Battery charging state
• Ambient Temperature
• Ambient Humidity

There are no command-line options, to view the report run sensors on the command line.

Caveats

The Ambient Temperature and Ambient Humidity sensors are only available on RaspberryPi hosts and assume that a DHT22 sensor is connected to pin D20.

If there is an entry in /etc/hosts for the current machine's hostname that value will be the only result from the IP Addresses sensor.

Installation

Install with pip3 install apd.sensors under Python 3.7 or higher
