The rest server I use for getting sensor data from Orange Pi Zero

python-rest-sensor-server

This is my personal project that allows me to access sensors on a Orange Pi Zero and a Raspberry Pi Zero using a REST api.

Sensors

I use the following sensors.

• Adafruit MCP9808 (temperature)
• Adafruit TSL2591 (light level)
• Sparkfun SI7021 (temperature and humidity)
• CPU temp (temperature)

Installation

Firstly, clone my project.

git clone https://github.com/michadenheijer/python-rest-sensor-server

Then make sure you have pip3 and smbus installed.

sudo apt install python3-pip, python3-smbus -y

Open my project

cd python-rest-sensor-server

Install dependencies

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Then start the server.

python3 api.py

Your REST-server is running and you can get information by using:

curl http://localhost:5000/cpu
curl http://localhost:5000/temp
curl http://localhost:5000/lux
curl http://localhost:5000/humidity
