# strawberry-pi-greenhouse
|
|
Strawberry Pi Greenhouse is a little project that i made in my holidays. It's a software that sends sensor data (temperature, water level) to a Homeassistants instance and can receive commands from this HA instace to control a relay.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#Software Installation
|
|
To activate the sensors you have to add these lines to you /boot/config.txt file on your raspberry pi micro sd card. You can change the pin numbers if you want.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
dtparam=i2c1=on
|
|
dtparam=i2c_arm=on
|
|
enable_uart=0
|
|
|
|
#i2c Temperaturesensor
|
|
dtoverlay=i2c-gpio,bus=2,i2c_gpio_delay_us=1,i2c_gpio_sda=2,i2c_gpio_scl=3
|
|
#i2c Moisturesensor
|
|
dtoverlay=i2c-gpio,bus=3,i2c_gpio_delay_us=1,i2c_gpio_auot=4
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Also you have to enable the i2c devices in the raspi-config menu. If you dont know how to do it you can just google it.
|
|
|
|
Now we need some packages that are needed to run the script. You can install them with this command:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
sudo apt install python3-pip screen -y
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Now you can put the following command in a crontab to run the strawberry pi script in the background when the raspberry pi starts:
|
|
```
|
|
crontab -e
|
|
@reboot bash /path/to/repo/strawberry-pi-greenhouse/start.sh
|
|
```
|
|
You can also create a service/deamon or something like that if thats your thing instead of crontab.
|
|
|
|
The last thing you have to do befor you reboot is to enable i2c devices in the raspi-config.
|
|
1. execute this command `sudo raspi-config`
|
|
2. go to `Interface Options`
|
|
3. select `I2C`
|
|
4. select `Yes`
|
|
|
|
Now you can reboot your pi with `sudo reboot` |
