README
b-parasite
b-parasite is an open source soil moisture and ambient temperature/humidity/light sensor.
Features
- Capacitive Soil moisture sensor - see this blog post, this Twitter thread, and this post for nice resources on how they work
- Air temperature and humidity sensor using a Sensirion's SHTC3
- Light sensor using an ALS-PT19 phototransistor
- Powered by a common CR2032 coin cell, potentially for over two years
- Support for nRF52840 and nRF52833 modules
- Open hardware and open source design
Software
This repository also hosts a few different firmware samples for b-parasite.
| Sample | Description | Extra Documentation |
|---|---|---|
| samples/ble | This is the most battle-tested and useful firmware. It periodically reads all sensors and broadcast them via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). It works with Home Assistant + BTHome out of the box. | Docs |
| samples/zigbee | An experimental/educational/exploratory basic Zigbee sample built on nRF Connect + ZBOSS. It integrates with Home Assistant via ZHA or Zigbee2MQTT. | Docs |
| samples/blinky | The classic "Hello, world" | - |
| samples/soil-read-loop | Reads the soil moisture sensor on a loop. Useful for experimenting and calibrating the sensor. | - |
| samples/input | Handles button presses. Useful for power profiling GPIO interrupts and testing debouncing for push switches on boards that have them. | - |
Documentation
Information about how to order, assemble, build the samples, protect the sensor and flash the firmware is on the Wiki.
