ub3aiw / luftdaten Goto Github PK

Luftdaten is an international crowdsourcing project to measure concentration of fine dust in ambient air. For details visit the project's website https://luftdaten.info/

This is a script that stores output from a fine dust sensor into a remote MySQL database.

To start using it, one has to populate config.py file with a link to output in *.json format and database credentials.

Crontab string to run the script every 3rd minute (no need to do that more often as stock firmware reads the sensor with just that frequency):

*/3 * * * * python3 /luftdaten_pub.py

To run it with a task scheduler on Windows, change the extension to *.pyw -- this will prevent a console window from popping up every time the script runs.
