RuuviTag sensors (Bosch BME280 environmental sensor)

Post by mpx2 »

Can someone explain what it would need to Domoticz support RuuviTag sensors? RuuviTag seems to be very accurate.

RuuviTag is using calibrated Bosch BME280 environmental sensor. Measures temperature, relative humidity and air pressure.

Python library for communicating with RuuviTag BLE Sensor Beacon and for decoding sensor data from broadcasted eddystone-url.

How do I connect that to Domoticz and Raspberry Pi? I need wireless sensors without external power supply.

I have python script for conection with domoticz. But in my tests is RuviTag quite inacurate...

Seems that RuuviTag's reaction time is very slow. You need to open the enclosure or otherwise it takes ages to reach the right temperature and escpecially humidity. :(

There are many reports that Bosch BME280 is not accurate for temperature measurements.

Temperature measured by the internal temperature sensor. This temperature value depends on the PCB temperature, sensor element self-heating and ambient temperature and is typically above ambient temperature.

Looks like the only thing RuuviTag is suitable is pressure measurements.
