Hi, I have been using a kit with an SDS011, a humidity and temperature sensor as part of the airbg.info network for 4 years now. The sensor is still going strong, but the admins of the airbg community have sent me a new kit, since the guaranteed lifetime of the SDS011 sensor is over. Nevertheless, I still want to use the old kit somehow, but without sending the data into the public archive, since its quality is no longer ensured.
So, can you tell me if there is a way to register the old sensor kit and collect data with it, as done by the sensor community, but making the data only visible to me and not to other people?
You can disable sending data to sensor.community & madavi via the WebUi (if you use the NodeMcu flashed with the sensor.community software - otherwise you can flash the software), but you have to send the data to a local api or influx db.
Or you send it just to the madavi api (that should work as well), if you don’t want to have it on the sensor.community maps.
Thanks for the quick answer, @v6tunnler ! Are there any instructions/manuals on how to do this, I am not aware of how to implement this technical things. I was able to set-up my station only because there was a step-by-step walk-through. thanks again!
You have to access the WebUi of your sensor, then you can set the configurations. The WebUi is accessible via your local network, using the ip http://192.168.4.1/ (or you check which devices are connected to your WiFi to find the ip).
Thanks @pjg and @v6tunnler ! I found a manual how to set up my sensor kit and to do the registration so that data is being send only to madavi.de, as suggested by you two. Another work-around that I heard of is to mark the sensor-kit as “indoor”, instead of “outdoor” (I don’t want my data to be included in some kind of citizen-science statistic, so this solution would suit me, too). But I don’t see how and where I should do this. Is this somewhere in the configuration menu, shown in the screenshot by @pjg ? Thanks for any info on where to find this, a screenshot would be great
Thank you very much, pjg and v6tunnler! I’ve set up my sensor kit not successfully up, so that it sends data only to madavi.de, without the data being public, as I wished
For added convenience, cloud-based services such as AWS IoT or Google Cloud IoT Core offer scalable solutions with robust features for managing and analyzing IoT CRM data enrichment. Additionally, integrating MQTT or CoAP protocols can enhance communication efficiency between your IoT devices and the chosen server platform. Whether you opt for user-friendly platforms or choose to build a custom solution, ensure compatibility with your IoT devices and project requirements.
