Added sensor to allsky

[maserowik]

I had added a few sensor to my allsky sensor.

I have added the uptime
I add record time
I have a waterproof D18b20 temp sensor or air temp outside the enclosure
I have a DHT22 for inside the enclosure
I have added the pi's GPU and CPU

So far I like the output.

Here is the output on my allsky

here are the program I am using
extra.txt
dht.txt

@maserowik,
Have you tried setting Use Outline Font in the WebUI? It might make the text easier to read.

In "extra.txt", how did you get the /sys/bus/w1/devices/28-3c01b556ec2a/w1_slave directory for your outside air temperature sensor? Does that read pin 1?

And your DHT sensor is on pin 26? Is "DHT" for Dew, Humidity, Temperature?

@EricClaeys
Just post in the allsky portal github as a issue for the Use Outline font.

1_Wire here is some of the code I used.

tempread=cat /sys/bus/w1/devices/28-3c01b556ec2a/w1_slave temp=echo "scale=1; "\echo ${tempread##*=}`" / 1000" | bc`

tempf=echo "scale=1; $temp*1.8 + 32" | bc
#1_wire
echo "Air Temp Outside Enclosure => $temp'C ($tempf'F)">> $extra

DB18b20 is attached to GPIO pin 4 (7)
Power is attached to gpio pin1 (3.3 v)
Ground is attached to gpio pin the ground pin under pin 4 (7)

DHT
The is only for the enclosure information, both Humidity and Temp. I could be incorrect but I do not believe the DHT 22 can monitor DEW. I added a few dry silica pack to the enclosure to help reduce the moisture.

I hope this answers the question you asked.

Got my DHT and DB18b20 reporting on the raspi but can you tell me how you added them to allsky? Do I convert the txt files to .py and upload them as modules? The documentation is pretty sparse.

If you are creating the text files as above then that should be in the correct format to import as extra variables to the overlay module.

Check out the Extra Variables section of https://htmlpreview.github.io/?https://raw.githubusercontent.com/thomasjacquin/allsky/master/html/documentation/overlays/overlays.html for all the detail, but if you save the text files into ~/allsky/config/overlay/extra/xxxxx (replacing xxxxx with the text file names) then the newly defined variables should appear in the overlay module's variable manager.

I’m quite new to all this, but find the explanations about the overlays not so obvious at all…

with difficulty I created a python script that reads my two sensors (temp and humidity). It works good now, but I have no clue how to get these readings into a file that’s accessible by allsky
