The Get-Temperature program will get the temperature and humidity from from a sensor (DHT11 Temperature and Humidity Sensor) and write it to a google sheet. It also get the date and time and write that too.
Below is a list of all the features of this program:
- Collects the temperature, humidity, current time, and current date.
- Gets that data and writes it a JSON locally.
- Updates the data to a Google Sheet that shows the most recent reading
- Writes the data to a Google Sheet that lists all the readings
- Has LED indicators that show when the program is reading info, or idle.
In order to write to the google sheet, the program needs a file called gs_creds.json that holds the API key for the Google Sheet. If you are looking for a tutorial on how to get this key, here is a link to a tutorial on how:
