Tempi

Description

Monitor multiple rf-based weather stations (e.g. Ambient Weather), and send push notifications when:

1. Station A's temperature exceeds station B (e.g. it's hotter outside)
2. Station B's temperature exceeds station A (e.g. it's hotter inside)

But, why?

It's expensive to run AC. Yet, proactively and consistently monitoring the temperature situation takes discipline. And while we're not easily distracted or anything, usually, it's hard to SQUIRREL! ...it's just easier to get a push notification.

Run

# Determine the device id of the RTL-SDR device, by listing the usb devices:
lsusb

# That will output multiple lines with something like:      Bus 001 Device 002 [...] RTL2838 DVB-T
# We need to pass that <bus#>/<device#> info along when we start the app. Given Bus 001 Device 002:
sudo docker run -p 80:80 --device=/dev/bus/usb/001/002 -d eschware/tempi:latest
