Expected Behavior

BasilPi should have the ability to read the temperature of the enclosure

Current Behavior

New feature: NA

Possible Solutions

1. Identify strategy to wrap existing DHT22 python driver in a class
2. Write stub class to emulate DHT22 driver functionality in pure python
   • This is required because the DHT22 driver utilizes native C code. This code will not run on hardware that is not an RPi
3. Write unit tests for temperature/humidity class that runs against DHT22 driver or DHT22 stub.

Context

Temperature/Humidity of the enclosure is an important datapoint. This influences whether or not the fan should be run to lower temperature/humidity.

Expected Behavior

BasilPi should have the ability to read the soil moisture of the planter

Current Behavior

New feature: NA

Possible Solutions

1. Identify soil moisture sensor to support
2. Either:
   • Import the existing driver for the sensor
     OR
   • Write a driver for the sensor
     2. Write a class to wrap the driver similar to Lamp

Context

When soil moisture is low, we need to water the planter, either automatically or manually

Expected Behavior

BasilPi should have the ability to read to toggle a fan on and off

Current Behavior

New feature: NA

Possible Solutions

1. Identify required hardware. The hardware solution should be able to activate a fan.
2. Either:
   • Import the existing driver for the hardware solution
     OR
   • Write a driver for the hardware solution
     2. Write a class to wrap the driver similar to Lamp

Context

When humidity and or temperature is too high in the enclosure, toggle a fan on to pull fresh air into the enclosure. The turbulence from the fan also encourages a more sturdy plant structure so they don't collapse under their own weight.

test

Expected Behavior

The Fan class should have a method to set the speed at which the fan should run.

Current Behavior

New feature: NA

Possible Solutions

The Fan class should have a method similar to set_speed() that takes an int, setting the PWM value to send to the fan.

Context

I can't think of a reason I would need this feature in the final project, but I can do it with the hardware I have so I will.
