If we want to analyze some type of gas with a Raspberry Pi, we can make it very simple with MQ sensors, we will only need to know in any case which sensor to obtain depending on the gases to be analyzed and that's it, We will see in this post how to connect it and get the values. As usual, at the end we will save the data obtained in a MySQL database to visualize it from Grafana!
If we want to know and monitor atmospheric pressure in a cheap way… How could you not… This is your document! We can do it quickly with a Raspberry Pi and a sensor that barely goes beyond the 2 Euros! In this post we will see all the steps you will need to achieve it, Also as always… we will store the measurements in a MySQL database and then we will visualize the values with beautiful graphs thanks to Grafana!
In this document we will look at the installation of an IP PBX using FreePBX, the distribution that comes with Asterisk installed and allows us to configure our PBX in a simpler and more intuitive way through a GUI. This first document only consists of a basic installation and configuration that we will use in future documents to do very cool things integrating it with a Raspberry Pi.
I'm going to put this post because of all the requests I've been receiving on how to monitor a Linux server. As obviously depends on the distribution, today we have an example with a Debian and more specifically we will see it on a Raspberry Pi that carries Raspbian. We'll monitor basic metrics like CPU, RAM, Swap Memory, Disks, Network Traffic, Uptime… And in the end we will see something very interesting!
In this document we will see the installation of Magic Mirror on a Raspberry Pi, Not bad, For what? Ideal for having a small information panel that you can fully customize, Designed for any environment, whether it is your home or your company. The normal thing then will be to do some DIY, We will put a mirror on the monitor and as it is a black panel with white text or images it is very futuristic!
In this document we will see two things, one we will learn how to use Wunderlist by command line to add items to our task lists, shopping… and then through our voice we can indicate to a Raspberry Pi that is listening with a microphone to add these items to us. I base myself on an example that I have in the kitchen, than when we want to add something to the shopping list, We tell you!
Continuing with documents of curious things we can do with a Raspberry Pi, Something very simple to achieve is for example to measure the electricity consumption of whatever we want, In this document we will see how to connect non-invasive current sensors to a Raspberry Pi and measure the cost of our home, since we will connect it to the electrical panel of our house! We will export the metrics to a MySQL database and then with Grafana we will create a dashboard where we can see in a very intuitive way what we spend on and how much!
How is it going? Today we are going with a document that will surely be of interest to all those who have a Fitbit bracelet, with which you already know that we can obtain data about our lifestyle and such… Well, if you want to exploit this information and see it in beautiful graphics, This is your document! Using a Python script we will obtain the measurements that interest us and store them in a MySQL database, and then with Grafana paint the graphics that interest us!
If you have the Xiaomi Smart Scale scale, follow the steps in this document and you will be able to read your weight from a Raspberry Pi, by connecting via bluetooth we will store the records in a MySQL database, and so if we want we can exploit them super easily with Grafana! I will leave you with a series of documents that I think are very interesting to obtain information from different devices that control our life and visualize it in a super cool way!
This first document will serve as a basis for us to install one of the best dashboards we have in the Open Source world (In my humble opinion), we'll use Dashing Dashboard. And we will use it to make interactive graphs of everything that interests us! In my case, I'll document some widgets I used for my home dashboard, Where can I monitor the overall status.
