Climate station that gets data from api for arduino in python

Serial Communication and Weather Data

This Python script establishes a serial connection and receives data from a serial port. It handles different types of data and performs specific actions based on the received data. Additionally, it retrieves weather data from the OpenWeatherMap API.

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x
• Required Python packages (see requirements.txt)

Installation

1. Clone the repository or download the script.

2. Install the required Python packages by running the following command:

pip install -r requirements.txt

Usage

1. Connect your serial device to the appropriate port (e.g., COM1).

2. Run the Python script using the following command:

python climate_station.py

3. The script will continuously receive data from the serial port and perform specific actions based on the received data. It will also retrieve weather data from the OpenWeatherMap API.

Configuration

• Serial Port: Modify the ser = serial.Serial('COM1', 9600) line in the script to match your serial port configuration.

• OpenWeatherMap API: If needed, modify the latitude, longitude, and app ID parameters in the script to retrieve weather data for a different location.
