EnviroWatch

A smart IoT device that monitors air quality & gas levels. It measures temperature, humidity, pressure & VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds).

The following technologies were used:

• Python with Flask
• SocketIO
• MongoDB Atlas
• BME680 3.3V Sensor
• HTML/CSS
• Vanilla JavaScript
• IFTTT/Twilio

The user receives a notification on their phone/device when gas levels reach a certain threshold (and beyond).

In order to run this:

1. Setup Board Layout

Connect the Raspberry Pi to the BME680 sensor using jumper wires and a breadboard. This project works with the 'Environment Click' sensor. Visit: https://github.com/pimoroni/bme680-python for more info

1. Install necessary libraries

pip install -r requirements.txt

2. Create .ENV file and add your MongoDB Cluster URL & necessary keys

Create a .env file to store your environment variables (auth keys, mongodb cluster password etc.)

3. Execute script

Execute the script, typing the following command in your machine's terminal:

python3 main.py

or

chmod u+x main.py
./main.py
