hih6130-sensor
Welcome to hih6130-sensor, a Node.js I2C module for the the Honeywell HumidIcon HIH6130 Humidity and Temperature Sensor. Sparkfun sells a HIH6130 breakout board and here is the datasheet.
This module uses i2c-bus which should provide access with Node.js on Linux boards like the Raspberry Pi Zero, 1, 2, or 3, BeagleBone, BeagleBone Black, or Intel Edison.
Since hih6130-sensor needs to talk directly to the I2C bus and requires access to /dev/i2c, you will typically need run Node with elevated privileges or add your user account to the i2c group: $ sudo adduser $USER i2c
Example Code
const HIH6130 = require('hih6130-sensor');
// HIH6130 constructor options object is optional, i2cBusNo defaults to 1
//
const hih6130 = new HIH6130({ i2cBusNo : 1 });
const readSensorData = () => {
hih6130.readSensorData()
.then((data) => {
console.log(`data = ${JSON.stringify(data, null, 2)}`);
setTimeout(readSensorData, 2000);
})
.catch((err) => {
console.log(`HIH6130 read error: ${err}`);
setTimeout(readSensorData, 2000);
});
};
readSensorData();
Example Output
> sudo node example.js
data = {
"status": 1,
"humidity": 41.09137520600623,
"temperature_C": 29.251052920710492
}
