PyCOZIR

PyCOZIR is a Python interface to COZIR™ CO2 sensors.

This module wraps the communication on a serial port with a COZIR CO2 sensor. It gives a higher level API than the serial communication protocol.

Implemented functionalities:

• data reading (CO2, temperature and humidity)
• sensor configuration (digital filter, calibration, ...)

This code is freely available under a 3-Clause BSD license (see LICENSE file).

Usage

Create a connection to a sensor connected to serial port '/dev/ttyUSB0':

>>> from cozir import Cozir
>>> c = Cozir('/dev/ttyUSB0')
connected to "/dev/ttyUSB0"
set operating mode to "polling"

Read data from sensors:

>>> print('CO2: {} ppm'.format(c.read_CO2()))
CO2: 1189.0 ppm
>>> print('Temp: {} °C'.format(c.read_temperature()))
Temp: 27.3 °C
>>> print('Humid: {} %'.format(c.read_humidity()))
Humid: 39.3 %

note: temperature and humidity sensors are an optional add-on in COZIR sensors.

Compatibility

This module was tested with Python 3.6, under Linux, but is meant to work under Windows as well.

Not currently tested with Python 2.7, but version before June 2017 was compatible.

Data logger

A simple data logging script is provided. It runs from the command line and save the data in CSV format in file:

$ python logger.py /dev/ttyUSB0
connected to "/dev/ttyUSB0"
set operating mode to "polling"
logging to "cozir_log_2015-09-14_12-01-10.csv"
logging interval: 30 s
1077 ppm, 22.0 °C, 52.6 %
...

The filename of the logfile is created based on datetime at startup.
