DESCRIPTION

The sht_conf utility is used to specify the I2C address(es) of Sensirion SHT temperature and relative humidity sensors deployed in South Coast Science equipment.

Two different Sensirion SHT sensor configurations are generally used:

SHT in A4 pot (internal) - I2C address: 0x44 - the sensor is enclosed in a package that mimics the electrochemical sensor environment. This sensor is used to perform temperature and humidity compensations in data interpretation.
Free-to-air SHT (external) - I2C address: 0x45 - the sensor is directly exposed to the air. This arrangement provides a more responsive and accurate measurement of the ambient conditions.

For devices with only one sensor type present, the internal and external address should be set to the same value.

Note that the scs_dev sampler processes must be restarted for changes to take effect.

SYNOPSIS

sht_conf.py [{ [-i INT_ADDR] [-e EXT_ADDR] | -d }] [-v]

Options
--version	show program's version number and exit
-h, --help	show this help message and exit
-i INT_ADDR, --int-addr=INT_ADDR	set I2C address of SHT in A4 package
-e EXT_ADDR, --ext-addr=EXT_ADDR	set I2C address of SHT exposed to air
-d, --delete	delete the SHT configuration
-v, --verbose	report narrative to stderr

EXAMPLES

./sht_conf.py -v -i 0x44 -e 0x45
