After some "dry exercises" it was finally time: The Raspberry got its new task as a "Smart Home Central"...
Here are some steps I did to get everything up and running:
- At first I build everything up and checked for electrical functionality
- After this I used a a clean new install of "Raspbian Buster with desktop"
- Manually created wpa_supplicant.conf because the Raspberry Pi 3A+ does't have a ethernet connection and I wanted to configure the Pi remotely (even if you are using a touch display, there is no virtual keyboard pre-installed) wpa_supplicant (German)
- Installed remote desktop protocol:
- sudo apt install xrdp
- sudo reboot
- Installed virtuall keyboard
- sudo apt-get update
- sudo apt-get install at-spi2-core florence
- sudo reboot
After this it was time to read out some temperature data from the BMP280:
- Installed Adafruit blinka
- Installed Adafruit BMP280 Lib
