humidity

This package provides code used to collect relative humidity, barometric pressure, ambient temperature and other data using a BME280 temperature sensor connected to a Raspberry Pi.

The dataset includes time series data tracking changes in relative humidity and related measures at regular intervals.

Inspiration

I've spent time over the past several years using R to hone my data analysis skills. My 'to do' list included completing a project to generate my own source data, and I thought I could gain a wealth of knowledge by building a hardware and software solution to track relative humidity in my home.

I completed the initial project and started capturing sensor readings from a single Raspberry Pi in July 2021. In September 2022, I added a second device so I could capture readings from two floors in my house simultaneously. My future plans include adding two additional devices so I have one on each floor of my house and one outside.

Installation

You can install the development version of the humidity project from GitHub with the following command in R:

devtools::install_github("dtminnick/humidity")

Data Collection Methodology

Sensor data is captured at scheduled intervals and written to a flat, delimited text file on remote Raspberry Pi devices. I download text files from the devices using an SSH connection.
