RaspberryPiWaterNotification

Project that uses a Raspberry Pi and LM393 moisture sensor (plus 'blade') to notify the presence of water.

This project requires:

• Python 3 (probably at least 3.6 or 3.7 - have not tested how 'low' in the 3 line one can use)
• The rpi.gpio package
  • as most Raspberry Pis are running a Debian variant, this is satisfied by:

    sudo apt install python3-rpi.gpio
    

• If using the SendGrid and/or Twillio notifications, their respective libraries are needed:

  pip install sendgrid twillio
  

• Also if using SendGrid or Twillio, be sure to get the needed keys and values into your Pi's environment
  • e.g. copy the file ".env.sample" to ".env" but populate it with your values -- then source the file either in an OS file or at source-ing it before running:

    source .env; python3 main.py
