Enviro+ MQTT Logger

enviroplus-mqtt is a Python service that publishes environmental data from an Enviro+ via MQTT.

Setting Up Your Device

  1. Set up your RPi as you normally would.

  2. Connect the Enviro+ board, and the PMS5003 sensor if you are using one.

  3. Install the Enviro+ library by following the instructions at https://github.com/pimoroni/enviroplus-python/ (make sure the library is installed for Python 3)

  4. Clone this repository to /usr/src/enviroplus-mqtt:

    sudo git clone https://github.com/hotplot/enviroplus-mqtt /usr/src/enviroplus-mqtt

  5. Add a new file at /etc/systemd/system/envlogger.service with the following content:

    [Unit]
Description=Enviro+ MQTT Logger
After=network.target

[Service]
ExecStart=/usr/bin/python3 /usr/src/enviroplus-mqtt/src/main.py <arguments>
WorkingDirectory=/usr/src/enviroplus-mqtt
StandardOutput=inherit
StandardError=inherit
Restart=always
User=pi

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

    Note that you must replace <arguments> with flags appropriate to your MQTT server.

  6. Enable and start the service:

    sudo systemctl enable envlogger.service
sudo systemctl start envlogger.service

Supported Arguments

  • The MQTT host, port, username, password and client ID can be specified.

  • The update interval can be specified, and defaults to 5 seconds.

  • The initial delay before publishing readings can be specified, and defaults to 15 seconds.

  • If you are using a PMS5003 sensor, enable it by passing the --use-pms5003 flag.

      usage: main.py -h HOST [-p PORT] [-U USERNAME] [-P PASSWORD] [--prefix PREFIX]
              [--client-id CLIENT_ID] [--interval INTERVAL] [--delay DELAY]
              [--use-pms5003] [--help]

  optional arguments:
  -h HOST, --host HOST  the MQTT host to connect to
  -p PORT, --port PORT  the port on the MQTT host to connect to
  -U USERNAME, --username USERNAME
                      the MQTT username to connect with
  -P PASSWORD, --password PASSWORD
                      the password to connect with
  --prefix PREFIX       the topic prefix to use when publishing readings, i.e.
                      'lounge/enviroplus'
  --client-id CLIENT_ID
                      the MQTT client identifier to use when connecting
  --interval INTERVAL   the duration in seconds between updates
  --delay DELAY         the duration in seconds to allow the sensors to
                      stabilise before starting to publish readings
  --use-pms5003         if set, PM readings will be taken from the PMS5003
                      sensor
  --help                print this help message and exit
