Primary LanguagePythonMIT LicenseMIT

Overseer

Uses a Raspberry Pi Pico W and a Pimoroni Inky Pack to display select statistics from network and server resources.

Execution

Copy the utils and .py files to the root of the Raspberry Pi Pico, when in MicroPython mode and connected using Thonny, or another way to access the ttyACM0.

This depends on:

  • ntptime
  • micropython-umqtt.simple

Configuration

Configuration is done via a JSON file. An example file is found in the repository with configuration needs specified.

Usage

list format allows for a data array. Each object in the array needs a "title" to be shown on the left-hand side, and a string of lines to be shown on the rest.

For example, the following JSON:

{
  "format": "list",
  "data": [
    {
      "title": "PiHole",
      "content": [
        "Block 6,869/22,037",
        "31.2% blocked"
      ]
    },
    {
      "title": "NAS",
      "content": [
        "991.78 GB/1.79 TB (54%)"
      ]
    }
  ]
}

Will show up as:

PiHole  Block 6,869/22,037
        31.2% blocked
NAS     991.78 GB/1.79 TB (54%)

The endpoint to send data to will be shown on-screen when the device starts up.
