# Sensorpajen Raspberry Pi service that monitors Xiaomi Mijia LYWSD03MMC Bluetooth temperature sensors and publishes data to MQTT. ## Features - 🌡️ Monitors 8 Xiaomi Mijia thermometers via Bluetooth (ATC firmware) - 📡 Publishes temperature, humidity, and battery data to MQTT - 🔄 Automatic restart on failure - 📊 Systemd service with journald logging - 🔧 Modern Python package with virtual environment - ⚙️ Configuration via environment variables and JSON ## Requirements - Raspberry Pi (tested on Raspberry Pi Zero W and newer) - Raspberry Pi OS (Debian-based) - Python 3.9+ - Bluetooth adapter - MQTT broker - Xiaomi Mijia LYWSD03MMC sensors with ATC firmware ## Installation See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md) for complete installation instructions. ### Quick Start ```bash # Clone repository git clone ~/sensorpajen cd ~/sensorpajen # Create and activate virtual environment python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate # Install dependencies pip install -e . # Configure cp config/sensorpajen.env.example config/sensorpajen.env cp config/sensors.json.example config/sensors.json nano config/sensorpajen.env # Edit MQTT settings nano config/sensors.json # Edit sensor MAC addresses # Set Bluetooth capabilities sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip' $(readlink -f .venv/bin/python3) # Install systemd service mkdir -p ~/.config/systemd/user/ cp systemd/sensorpajen.service ~/.config/systemd/user/ systemctl --user daemon-reload sudo loginctl enable-linger $USER # Start service systemctl --user enable sensorpajen systemctl --user start sensorpajen # Check status systemctl --user status sensorpajen journalctl --user -u sensorpajen -f ``` ## Configuration ### MQTT Settings Edit `config/sensorpajen.env`: ```bash MQTT_HOST=192.168.1.10 MQTT_PORT=1883 MQTT_USERNAME=username MQTT_PASSWORD=password MQTT_CLIENT_ID=sensorpajen MQTT_TOPIC_PREFIX=MiTemperature2 ``` ### Sensors Edit `config/sensors.json`: ```json [ { "mac": "A4:C1:38:12:34:56", "name": "Living Room" }, { "mac": "A4:C1:38:AB:CD:EF", "name": "Bedroom" } ] ``` ## Service Management See [systemd/README.md](systemd/README.md) for detailed service management instructions. ```bash # Start/stop service systemctl --user start sensorpajen systemctl --user stop sensorpajen # Enable/disable autostart systemctl --user enable sensorpajen systemctl --user disable sensorpajen # View status systemctl --user status sensorpajen # View logs journalctl --user -u sensorpajen -f journalctl --user -u sensorpajen -n 100 ``` ## Flashing New Thermometers **Important**: Flash only one thermometer at a time! 1. **Find MAC address**: Use a Bluetooth BLE app to find the thermometer's MAC address. It will appear as `LYWSD03MMC`. 2. **Download firmware**: Get the latest ATC firmware from https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer 3. **Flash firmware**: - Open https://atc1441.github.io/TelinkFlasher.html on your phone - Click "Connect" and select your thermometer (LYWSD03MMC) - Click "Do Activation" - When found, select firmware and click "Start Flashing" 4. **Record MAC address**: Note the MAC address (from step 1) and label the thermometer physically with a permanent marker. 5. **Add to configuration**: Add the MAC address and name to `config/sensors.json` 6. **Verify**: The thermometer should now appear as `ATC_XXXXXX` where XXXXXX are the last 3 bytes of the MAC address. MAC addresses always start with `A4:C1:38`. ## Project Structure ``` sensorpajen/ ├── src/sensorpajen/ # Python package │ ├── main.py # Application entry point │ ├── config.py # Configuration management │ ├── mqtt_publisher.py # MQTT client wrapper │ ├── sensor_reader.py # Bluetooth sensor reader │ └── utils.py # Bluetooth utilities ├── config/ # Configuration files │ ├── sensorpajen.env.example │ └── sensors.json.example ├── systemd/ # Systemd service files │ ├── sensorpajen.service │ └── README.md ├── legacy/ # Old scripts (deprecated) ├── pyproject.toml # Python package configuration └── README.md # This file ``` ## Troubleshooting See [INSTALL.md](INSTALL.md#troubleshooting) for detailed troubleshooting steps. ### Quick Checks **Permission errors:** ```bash sudo setcap 'cap_net_raw,cap_net_admin+eip' $(readlink -f ~/sensorpajen/.venv/bin/python3) systemctl --user restart sensorpajen ``` **Service status:** ```bash systemctl --user status sensorpajen journalctl --user -u sensorpajen -f ``` **MQTT test:** ```bash mosquitto_sub -h -u -P -t "MiTemperature2/#" -v ``` ## Development ```bash # Clone and setup git clone ~/sensorpajen cd ~/sensorpajen python3 -m venv .venv source .venv/bin/activate pip install -e . # Run directly (without systemd) python -m sensorpajen.main # Run tests (when available) pytest ``` ## Migration from Legacy System See [ROADMAP.md](ROADMAP.md) for the complete migration plan from the old cron/tmux-based system to the modern systemd service. ## License See license headers in individual source files. ## Credits - Bluetooth utilities based on work by Colin GUYON (MIT License) - ATC firmware by atc1441: https://github.com/atc1441/ATC_MiThermometer
