Weather Station

Code for the indoor Weather Station

Step 0: Copy file to Raspberry Pi and setup

scp -r [!.]* weather@weatherstation:~/weather-station

Create the .env and the .venv for python and install the requirements

Step 1: Install and Pass the "Variable"

Move the template file to the system folder and reload the daemon:

• sudo cp weather-station@.service /etc/systemd/system/
• sudo systemctl daemon-reload

---

Step 2: Enable and Start

Now, when you enable and start the service, you append your actual username right after the @ symbol.

If your username was weather:

• Enable it to start on boot:

  sudo systemctl enable weather-station@weather.service

• Start the script right now:

  sudo systemctl start weather-station@weather.service

---

Step 3: How to check on it

• To see if it's running:

  sudo systemctl status weather-station@weather.service

• To read the live console output (like seeing the print statements):

  sudo journalctl -u weather-station@weather.service -f (Press Ctrl+C to exit the log view)

• To manually restart it (if you update your code):

  sudo systemctl restart weather-station@weather.service
