Question python code pushing sensor data

FAQ

Thanks. This and adding the # or id in the results part and adding the UID as authentication did the trick. My working code is now:

import time
import serial
import requests
import datetime
import json

Open serial connection to sensor

ser = serial.Serial(‘/dev/ttyUSB0’, baudrate=9600)

Your sensor’s coordinates

latitude = 12.34567890123
longitude = 1.23456789012

Format the coordinates as a string

location = str(latitude) + “,” + str(longitude)

UID = “raspi-1234”

while True:
# Put sensor in measurement mode (the 6th byte is 0x01 which means the sensor is in measuring mode)
ser.write(b’\xAA\xB4\x06\x01\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xFF\xFF\x05\xAB’)
print(“Putting sensor in measurement mode”)

# Wait 60 seconds for sensor to warm up
print("Wait 1 minute for the sensor to warm up and turn on the fan")
time.sleep(60)

# Read data from sensor
data = ser.read(10)

# Extract PM2.5 and PM10 values from data
pm25 = data[2] + data[3]/10
pm10 = data[4] + data[5]/10

# Print timestamp
now = datetime.datetime.now()
print("Timestamp: ", now)

# Print values on screen
print("PM2.5: ", pm25, "ug/m^3")
print("PM10: ", pm10, "ug/m^3")

# Put sensor in sleeping mode (the 6th byte is 0x00 which means the sensor is in sleeping mode)
ser.write(b'\xAA\xB4\x06\x01\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\x00\xFF\xFF\x05\xAB')
print("Putting sensor in sleeping mode which also turns off the fan")

# Sense data to sensor community server
api_endpoint = "https://api.sensor.community/v1/push-sensor-data/"
data = {
    "id": 12345,
    "sensordatavalues": [
        {
            "value_type": "P1",
            "value": pm10
        },
        {
            "value_type": "P2",
            "value": pm25
        }
    ],
    "location": location,
    "sensor_id": 12345,
    "timestamp": now.isoformat()
}

auth = {
"X-Sensor": UID
}

# Send data to API and print response
response = requests.post(api_endpoint, json=data, headers=auth)
print("Response:", response.text)

# Take reading every 10 minutes
print("Waiting 10 minutes (including warm-up) for next reading cycle")
time.sleep(540)
