Simple Python Sensor Library

THIS REPOSITORY IS DEPRECATED AND NO LONGER MAINTAINED OR SUPPORTED

This is a small and simple library to collect data using Sensirion sensors with Python. Currently the following sensor chips are supported:

  • SHT3x (temperature and humidity)
  • SF04 (flow and differential pressure chip) used in the following products:
    • SDP6xx Series
    • SFM4xxx Series
    • SLx Series
    • Lx Series
    • LPG Series
  • SF05 (flow and differential pressure chip) used in the following products:
    • SFM3xxx Series

Library

The library functions are located in the file sensirion_sensors.py. The different functions and classes are documented in the source code.

Examples

The library comes with three examples that show different ways to use the library:

  1. sync_example.py

    Command line tool that reads all sensors synchronously with the same sampling frequency. The data can either be plotted to the console or stored in a file.

  2. async_example.py

    Command line script that reads every sensor asynchronously with an individual sampling frequency.

  3. streaming_example.py

    An example script that streams all sensor data to a local MQTT broker. The format of the MQTT payload is JSON, an example for an SHT sensor is included below. Timestamps are in seconds since 1970.

    {
        "timestamp": 1441799806.62,
        "values": [ 24.35, 53.21 ],
        "units": [ "°C", "%" ]
    }
    
  4. streaming_client.py and streaming_plot_client.py

    These scripts demonstrates how to connect to a remote broker and subscribe to sensor data. The streaming_client.py script simply prints all values to the console. The streaming_plot_client.py script opens up a window using Qt and shows live plots of all sensor values that are streamed.
