The library

This is a simple Python library that uses serial communication via serial RS485 to read temperatures (dry and wet bulbs) and relative humidity from a FullGauge AHC 80 plus controller.

Instalation

Just copy the library to your project folder

Usage

  from ahc80plus import AHC80plus
  
  # AHC80plus(address,serial_port,timeout_s)
  ahc80=AHC80plus(1,'COM3',1)
  ahc80.read()
  print("Dry temperature",ahc80.t_dry,'°C')
  print("Wet temperature",ahc80.t_wet,'°C')
  print("Relative Humidity",ahc80.r_h,'%')

Output

   Dry temperature 27.1 °C
   Wet temperature 26.8 °C
   Relative Humidity 97.0 %

FullGauge AHC 80 plus

FullGauge's AHC 80 plus is a relative humidity controller based on the principle of Psychrometry. Very useful if you want to monitor and control the conditions of a high moisture content room, like a concrete sample curing room, where electronic humidity sensors just won't work reliably due to condensation or are very expensive.
