🌬️ Air Quality Monitor

A Raspberry Pi-based system for measuring and visualizing air quality data.

🤔 What's Air Quality Monitor?

Air Quality Monitor is an embedded system that tracks environmental parameters using a Raspberry Pi and a BME680 sensor. It displays the data through a web interface, making it easy to keep an eye on your air quality.

🌟 Key Features

• 🌡️ Measures temperature, humidity, pressure, and gas resistance
• 📊 Shows real-time data and historical trends
• ☁️ Stores data in Google Sheets for easy access
• 💻 Uses a React frontend with Tailwind CSS for a clean, responsive design

🛠️ Setting Up

You'll Need

• 🍓 Raspberry Pi with a BME680 sensor
• 📦 Node.js and npm
• 🌐 Google Cloud account with Sheets API access

Getting Started

1. Clone the repo:

   git clone https://github.com/janchruszcz/air-quality-monitor.git
   cd air-quality-monitor
   

2. Install dependencies: ```bash npm install

3. Set up your environment: Create a .env file in the root directory with these variables: ```bash REACT_APP_SPREADSHEET_ID=your_spreadsheet_id REACT_APP_SHEET_ID=your_sheet_id REACT_APP_CLIENT_EMAIL=your_client_email REACT_APP_PRIVATE_KEY="your_private_key"

4. Start the development server: ```bash npm start

🚀 Using Air Quality Monitor

1. Make sure your Raspberry Pi is set up and sending data to Google Sheets.
