Getting data from the Fitbit bracelet using Python and displaying graphs in Grafana

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!

Getting data from our Xiaomi Smart Scale with Raspberry Pi

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!

Using Raspberry Pi as a Supported Thin Client on Citrix with ThinLinX

Of course, we already have in mind that Citrix supports the use of a Raspberry Pi (30€) to use as a thin client; with HDX Ready and being able to optimize the multimedia layer and download its heavy graphics acceleration to the device. In this document we will see how ThinLinX works, an OS that simply transforms a Raspberry Pi into a manageable thinclient, whether for Citrix XenApp or XenDesktop, VMware View, Microsoft RDS…

Raspberry Pi – Spanish Speech Recognition

Well, Well, After a long summer of enjoyment and leisure we are back to the fray!!! In this document we will see how to make a Raspberry Pi listen to us, waiting for us to talk to him and execute the commands we instruct. It's really simple to do, I've been testing more complex alternatives for some time both to install and configure, And this one for me is the best. What you are going to see in this document you will be able to implement in less than 30 minutes! And tell him… “Antonia, put me Telecinco”!

Raspberry Pi – Whole-house sound system

To welcome the 2016 Let's put a post that I like… In this document we will see how to set up an audio system for our homes! With some Raspberrys scattered around the house we can have a piped music or a multiroom system of the cheapest! We will be able to listen to any song from our multimedia server or music from our mobile, as well as Spotify or whatever we are interested in! We can send the audio indistinctly, to one Raspberry or multiple, as we are interested!  

Raspberry Pi – Uses of Bluetooth

Very good, In this article I wanted to document some utility that I got from one of the Raspberry that is around the house, I have a mini USB bluetooth device that I connected to the Pi, I'll give you a couple of scripts in case you may be interested: One will first detect us if we are ready to execute an action; and the second will connect a wireless speaker!
