Log inputs status on a Raspberry Pi and if change value send mesagge to telegram. Its been verified to work with a raspberry pi with simple 13 inputs module (Included in PCB folder). By changing the inputs_pins_message.yml file and making a corresponding GPIO inputs relation.
- Raspberry Pi B+
- 13 inputs module (Included in PCB folder) or other module DIY
- Raspbian or dietpi
- Python 3.4 and PIP3
- RPi.GPIO
-
Download and install from Github and install pip3
$ sudo apt-get install git $ git clone https://github.com/GuillermoElectrico/Digital-Inputs-Logger-Pi.Telegram.git $ sudo apt-get install python3-pip
-
Run setup script (must be executed as root (sudo) if the application needs to be started from rc.local, see below)
$ cd Digital-Inputs-Logger-Pi-Telegram $ sudo python3 setup.py install
-
Make script file executable
$ chmod 777 read_input_raspberry.py
-
Edit inputs_pins_message.yml to match your configuration and read_input_raspberry-telegram.py to add bot token and chat_id
-
Test the configuration by running:
./read_input_raspberry-telegram.py ./read_input_raspberry-telegram.py --help # Shows you all available parameters
If the error appears:
/usr/bin/env: ‘python3\r’: No such file or directory
Use dos2unix to fix it.
$ sudo apt install dos2unix $ dos2unix /PATH/TO/YOUR/FILE
-
To run the python script at system startup. Add to following lines to the end of /etc/rc.local but before exit:
# Start Inputs Logger /home/pi/Digital-Inputs-Logger-Pi-Telegram/read_input_raspberry-telegram.py > /var/log/inputs-logger-telegram.log &
Log with potential errors are found in /var/log/inputs-logger-telegram.log
