Enable an RPi to serve as an ioT gateway for our P2 Hardware - while dedicating only 2 pins for serial communication
When the P2 D2 was being discussed I started doing reseach early so we'd have a leg up on what RPi interfaces would be available to/from the P2D2 since it could be directly connected to the RPi GPIO header.
- RPi P2D2 Support - the documentation of my findings is presented in this repo
This is a fun starting reference for Interfacing with the RPi.
I have four relatively well accepted open-source projects I've done supporting Home Assistant the open source home control platform.
- A dashboard display card for a RPi
- The reporting Daemon that runs on a RPi
- A Lightning Detector card
- A detection reporting daemon that runs on a RPi
I have a few RPis that I do various projects with. They need monitoring for running out of disk space, needing updates, over temperature, etc. this dashboard provides all of that.
- Lovelace RPi Monitor Card - this is the Repo for the card itself (install via HACS)
- RPi Reporter MQTT -> HA Daemon - this is project run on each RPi to report it's details every boot and at fixed intervals
I'm a Licensed Amateur Radio Operator. I want to protect my Radios from lightning and when I found the Franklin Lightning Sensor IC AS3935 Amazon on a small board this became my next RPi project. It turned into a display card for Home Assistant along with a reporting daemon running on the RPi.
- Lovelace Lightning Detector Card - this is the Repo for the card itself (install via HACS)
- Lightning Detector MQTT -> HA Daemon - monitor the AS3935 Lightning Detector attached to the RPi and report detection information to the MQTT broker
- Lightning Detector Theory of Operations - An explanation of how this all works and my design decisions
Here are a couple videos showing the card in action:
- Storm passing nearby - youtube
- Storm passing overhead - youtube
My first attempt at a dashboard was a mix of HTML/PHP web page and supporting scripts that ran on each RPi along with an RPi dedicated to being the dashboard Kiosk.
- RPi (Dashboard) Scripts - this is the Repo for the older dashboard
If you like my work and/or this has helped you in some way then feel free to help me out for a couple of ☕'s or 🍕 slices!
