Raspberry Pi temp and humidity sensor DHT22

Description

This gist contain two scripts to read temp and humidity from a DHT22 sensor connected on a Raspberry Pi and send values to an Influxdb database.

This is quite dirty as this is just some personnal experiments...

#!/bin/bash
while true
do
output=$( python /home/pi/DHT_read.py )
temperature=$(echo $output | cut -d\ -f1)
humidity=$(echo $output | cut -d\ -f2)
#echo "output : ${output}"
echo -e "$(date) \t Température : ${temperature} \t Humidité : ${humidity}"
curl -X POST "http://play.influxdb.org:8086/db/test/series?u=user&p=password" -d "[{\"name\":\"sensor\",\"columns\":[\"temperature\",\"humidity\"], \
\"points\":[[${temperature},${humidity}]]}]"
sleep 10
done
