senlib 0.1.1

A pure Python library for some I2C sensors.

Pure Python-based I2C sensor library for some I2C sensors. Work in progress. Nothing serious, just a hobby.

Currently, the library supports the following sensors:

• am2315/am2321

• bh1750

• bmp280/bmp180/bmp85

• bme280

• hdc1008

• lm75

• mcp9808

• mpl115a2

• mpl311a2

• sht31

• si7021

Installation

Before you can install senlib, you should install first pipenv using the package manager of your operating system.

On Arch Linux run the following command to install pipenv:

sudo pacman -S python-pipenv or pip install senlib

Next, clone this repo and cd into the senlib directory:

git clone https://github.com/Awaiskhan4o4/senlib
cd senlib

Next, create a Python 3 environment as shown below:

pipenv --three

Lastly, install the package:

pipenv install -e .

Testing/Development

For installation see section Installation.

To run the tests use:

pipenv run pytest tests

or cd into the directory and run:

pipenv shell && pytest tests

CLI

sennode

sennode --help
Usage: sennode [OPTIONS] SENSOR

Options:
  --address TEXT              I2C address of the sensor.
  --node TEXT                 Node name.
  --http                      Start Web API.
  --http-host TEXT            HTTP host to use.
  --http-port INTEGER         HTTP port to use.
  -t, --mqtt-topic TEXT       MQTT topic to use.
  -L, --mqtt-broker-url TEXT  MQTT broker to publish data.
  -i, --interval FLOAT        Sampling interval.
  --mock, --fake, --simulate  Mock sensor.
  -d, --debug                 Debug mode.
  -V, --version               Show version.
  --help                      Show this message and exit.

Example Usage

sennode bme280 --address 'i2c://1/0x77' --mqtt-broker-url mqtts://user:[e-mail]:8883

Once started, the sensor data is exposed over an HTTP interface and a WebSocket interface:

• http://0.0.0.0:8080

• ws://0.0.0.0:8080

Besides that, the sensor data is perodically pushlished to the specified MQTT broker url.

Code Examples

For details and examples have a look in the examples or tests directory.

Basic code example:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from senlib.core.i2c import SMBus
from senlib.i2c.sensors.bmex import BME280
import time

if __name__ == '__main__':
    bus = SMBus(bus=1)
    sensor = BME280(bus=bus, addr=0x77)
    for _ in range(0, 5):
       time.sleep(0.2)
       data = sensor.measure()
       for key, value in data.items():
           print("{}:{:0.4f}".format(key, value))

    sensor.close()

The shorter example uses the with syntax to automatically close the sensor object:

#!/usr/bin/env python3
from senlib.core.i2c import SMBus
from senlib.i2c.sensors.bmex import BME280
import time

if __name__ == '__main__':
    bus = SMBus(bus=1)
    with BME280(bus=bus, addr=0x77) as sensor:
       for _ in range(0, 5):
           time.sleep(0.2)
           data = sensor.measure()
           for key, value in data.items():
               print("{}:{:0.4f}".format(key, value))
