OpenSensor.Space
Weather Station Network
A community-driven network of DIY weather stations streaming real-time environmental data to the cloud. Built with Raspberry Pi, open data formats, and edge computing.
Environmental Sensor Capabilities
Comprehensive monitoring with the Pimoroni Enviro+ sensor pack
Temperature
Ambient & raw temp
Pressure
Atmospheric pressure
Humidity
Relative humidity %
Gas Sensors
Oxidised, reducing, NH3
Light (Lux)
Ambient light levels
Proximity
Object detection
Particulate Matter
PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10
Particle Count
Size distribution data
How It Works
Edge cloud-native architecture for efficient, resilient data collection
Edge Collection
Raspberry Pi Zero W collects sensor data at 1-second intervals. Runs autonomously, even offline.
Cloud Storage
Data streams directly to S3-compatible storage in Parquet format. No intermediate database needed.
Real-Time Analysis
Query data directly in browser using DuckDB. Evidence.dev dashboards update automatically.
