ruuvidriver

---

👉 ⚠️ This project is no longer under active development as of December 2022.

---

Serves your Ruuvitag Weather Station data over HTTP.

Tested on Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian and Node 9 from Nodesource.

Usage

• yarn
• yarn start
• Visit http://127.0.0.1:52020/tags. Any Ruuvitags in your device's vicinity should start showing up.

ℹ️ You'll get higher resolution data if your Ruuvitag is in Raw mode. You can toggle this by pressing the B button on your tag. See the "RAW mode" section in the Ruuvitag Firmware docs.

Not seeing tags?

If you're running Ruuvidriver as a regular user on Linux, the Node.js binary needs a capability to be allowed to do BLE things.

An easy way to set the CAP_NET_RAW capability required is

sudo setcap cap_net_raw+eip $(eval readlink -f `which node`)

but be certain you understand what this means for other programs using the same Node.js binary.

Endpoints

All tags (/tags)

All tags, as a mapping:

{
  "beefbeefbeef": {
    "dataFormat": 3,
    "rssi": -73,
    "humidity": 21,
    "temperature": 21.72,
    "pressure": 100664,
    "accelerationX": -64,
    "accelerationY": -44,
    "accelerationZ": 1020,
    "battery": 2935,
    "ts": 1521542394667
  }
}

Single tag (/tag/:id (i.e. /tag/beefbeefbeef))

As above, but the given tag's data only.

{
  "dataFormat": 3,
  "rssi": -73,
  "humidity": 21,
  "temperature": 21.72,
  "pressure": 100664,
  "accelerationX": -64,
  "accelerationY": -44,
  "accelerationZ": 1020,
  "battery": 2935,
  "ts": 1521542394667
}

Configuration

Configured via environment variables or a .env file via dotenv.

• RUUVI_PORT: Port to serve on. Defaults to 52020.

Usage with Home-Assistant

Ruuvidriver is trivial to integrate with home-assistant.

A RESTful sensor configuration for humidity, pressure, temperature and Ruuvitag voltage looks like this.

(Replace beefbeefbeef with your tag's ID, and the IP address/port with something else if your home-assistant is not on the same device as Ruuvidriver, or if you configured the port above.)
