Receive temperature and humidity data from a Radio Bridge RBS305-AUTH-US sensor, calculate the absolute humidity and dew point, do some conversions (degrees C to F and unix time to UTC time), then log the data in a Google Sheet
This workflow receives HTTP post requests from an HTTP Custom Integration in the Helium Console, parses the data, then sends the data to a Google Sheet for easy viewing. The Pipedream workflow is part of an end-to-end data flow whose purpose is to make it easy to view and log temperature and humidity. The end-to-end workflow looks like this:
Radio Bridge Sensor > Helium Hotspot > Helium Network > Pipedream workflow > Google Sheet
Before sending data to the Google Sheet, the workflow does some data manipulations, namely
converts UNIX time to GMT time
converts temperature from C to F
calculates Absolute Humidity and Dew Point from the temperature and humidity measurements
Special thanks to Sergey Batishchev for providing the javascript code to parse the sensor information in the message_parse step.
The RBS305-AUTH-US sensor is a LoRaWAN sensor that measures temperature and humidity.
Helium is an Internet-of-Things hardware and software platform for developers to build IoT applications (see companies like CareBand, Smart Mimic, and Conserv). Helium is also a peer-to-peer wireless IoT network (the People’s Network) where ownership of the network is distributed to whoever has purchased and deployed a Helium hotspot device.
