The Unix Pipe is a universal standard for connecting two programs. Below you will find programs for pulling data from devices/sensors and programs for pushing data to databases that you can mix and match by connecting them with a Unix Pipe on something like the $35 Raspberry Pi computer.
Pull the temperature from the Raspberry Pi's temperature sensor on the CPU.

This is our classic temperature sensor for $16. Unfortunately it was discontinued recently in favor of the temper2 sensor. We have a temper2 on the way and we'll test to see if this driver works with it. In the meantime, if you have a temper1 USB sensor, give this a try!

A bundle of commands actually. We recommend creating folder of executable commands for your device or database. See below what each command can be.
A pull command for getting the values of one or more sensors on a device.
- Issuing a pull command will print a value on a new line and then exit.
- Output must be in JSON like
{"sensor1": 42, "sensor2": 99}. - If your device is the kind that prefers to send data over when it feels like it, feel free to not exit and delimit each reading on a new line.
A detect command to detect the Sensor IDs available on a device.
A push command for sending one or more sensor values to a database. Compatible with piping from both pull and stream.
- Accepts input over STDIN from a pipe (
echo '{"sensor1": 42}' | ./database-cli/push). pushonly exits when an exit code is received.
An install command for initialization of required environment variables and downloading of dependencies.
An onboot command for things that need to be done every time a machine boots and before the push or pull commands are used.
