Raspberry PI Home Assistant Auto-Discovery Sensor Software ThermoPI and ThermoPi-Furnace

I have a Raspberry PI mounted to a Raspberry PI 7" touch display that is set-up as a kiosk on my wall. That spot just happened to be a perfect place for a Temperature – Humidity sensor. I decided to build a home assistant auto-discovery sensor software platform to make use of it.

This project started with that PI and one sensor, and developed into a multi-sensor PI on the furnace in the basement that monitors 6 temperatures plus 2 humiditys and will soon have an 8 channel opto-isolated board to monitor switch positions and motor states as the next phase of this.

I am posting this article on the software I wrote to offer it to the community in the case that someone wants to do something similar. The code is on Github and available to anyone that wants it. If you would like to fork it or want to suggest changes that would be much appreciated. I am not a programmer, and this code is not optimized in any way but it is functional and appears to be stable in it’s current form, so there’s that.

You can find the single sensor basic and pared down version here:

ThermoPI

My expanded version with AM2302 sensors, 1 wire sensors, and max6675 thermocouples in the firebox:

ThermoPI-Furnace

I’d be honored if you look it over and let me know what you think, and even more honored if you can find a way to put it to use in your set-up. Comments and suggestions are always appreciated.
