Hey everyone! I know this is a german forum, hope its ok to write in english. If you prefer I can translate the text next time. Thought I'd share my current weather monitoring setup and see if anyone has suggestions for improvements.
Hardware:
Raspberry Pi Zero with a Weather HAT (temperature, humidity, pressure, light sensors)
Been running continuously since January 2024 and collecting data every minute
Data Collection:
The Pi runs a Python script that reads the sensors and handles a few things:
Collects sensor data
Calculates dew point and "feels like" temperature
Stores everything in a local PostgreSQL database
Data Storage & Sharing:
Local PostgreSQL database on the Pi
Set up replication to another PostgreSQL instance on a VM in my home-server
Also uploads readings to Weather Underground and OpenWeatherMap every minute.
Data Visualization:
Integration with Grafana and PostgreSQL as a data source.
Anyone running similar setups? Any suggestions for improvements or additional metrics worth tracking?
Also any other services i should integrate with?
