Sensor logging for distributed systems
Hello,
for building up my smart home application I want to integrate several sensors (e.g. temperature sensors) into a common structure by using a standardized interface. I want to develop a package being able to manage sensors of the house. Some of them may not be on the same machine. I am thinking of a file based or a distributed IP based network structure. I have found a package "lm-sensors" doing this for local sensors of a computer mainboard.This does not fit perfectly but may be a good template for the interface structure. Does anybody know about a package which could fulfil my requirements? Does anybody have an idea which structure and interface would fit? Thank you for your ideas. Sam |
you can start to read about how to use sensors ins some embedded tutorials,
start for example with this https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/projects/ra...s/temperature/ |
Thanks a4z for your answer. As I use the Raspberry as well, this gives me useful hints.
But about the basic structure for me it is not yet clear. Up to now I used /usr or /opt folders to implement my applications. Is it convenient to implement features for external sensors in /sys or /proc? |
when you implement a kernel driver, you will possible have some entries in /sys and or /proc but you will nothing copy there, you create files there
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sysfs http://www.tldp.org/LDP/Linux-Filesy...html/proc.html so I think you can stay in /usr and /opt I suggest you go through some of the Rasperry tutorials from the begin to the end it will make things |
