Simple Home Dashboard, Collector Module

Overview

This is a collection of Python scripts to poll your environmental data from a Netatmo device as well as filesystem and VPN connectivity status from a Linux system, and then upload it to an instance of InfluxDB. You can then use something like Grafana to visualise the measurements.

Example

Grafana Home Dashboard

Usage

Put your InfluxDB access data in the userpass_influx file. See also userpass_influx_example.

Netatmo

Generate a API token for Netatmo by Creating an Application.
Put your Netatmo access data in the userpass_netatmo file. See also the userpass_netatmo_example file.
Modify your station and module names in Common/sensors.py.
Run python ./ticker.py --netatmo. If it works, stick it in a Cronjob.

VPN & Filesystem Status

To detect whether the VPN connection is up or down, the script polls http://icanhazip.com/ to get your public IP which is checked against a list of addresses. You need to create a list of valid public IP addresses in vpn_list. See also vpn_list_example.
If you want to check filesystem status, make sure to edit the relevant mount point in ticker.py. By default, it's /volume1.
To use the features, run python ./ticker.py --vpn --fs.
