This thermostat requires the use of a DS18B20 temperature sensor. An alternative sensor can be used, but the getIndoorTemp.py file will need to be modified to gather and return the correct data. I may at some point add the option to use a DHT-22 (combo temp/humidity sensor); but this is adequate for now.
Your DATA line needs to be connected to your VDD/POWER line with a 4.7K ohm resistor
Then do the following:
DATA on gpio 4 (physical pin 7)
VDD/POWER on 5v rail (physical pin 2)
GROUND on any ground pin (physical pin 6)
Next, enable the 1-wire interface.
This can be done by adding the line
dtoverlay=w1-gpio
to /boot/config.txt
-or-
by using an up-to-date raspi-config (Advanced Options -> 1-Wire)
Reboot and your temperature sensor is good to go.
On a fresh Raspbian Jessie image (full or lite)
cd ~
git clone https://github.com/mholgatem/ThermOS
cd ~/ThermOS
sudo bash install.sh
On a computer or smartphone, navigate to the ip address of your raspberry pi to finish setup.
ThermOS started life as Rubustat by Wyatt Winters and quickly took on a life of it's own; but there are still a few bits of code left over from those early days.
