Microsoft To Do Tutorial: Stream Temperature and Humidity Data from Raspberry Pi Weather Station to Power BI

In this tutorial, we will explore how to stream temperature and humidity data from a weather station connected to a Raspberry Pi to Power BI using Microsoft's API streaming dataset feature. This allows us to push real-time data to our Power BI dashboard for visualization.

To begin, we need to create an API streaming dataset in Power BI. This represents a constant stream of incoming data, such as the temperature and humidity readings from our weather station. We will use the Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Jessie installed to collect the sensor data and push it to Power BI.

Using the necessary materials, including a Raspberry Pi 3 with Raspbian Jessie installed, we can get started with setting up our weather station and streaming the data to Power BI. For those using Windows 10 IoT, don't worry - most of the steps will still apply, and we'll point out any differences along the way.

Throughout this tutorial, we'll walk you step-by-step through the process of setting up your Raspberry Pi weather station and displaying the resulting temperature and humidity data in real-time with Power BI. This is a great opportunity to showcase how easy it can be to display real-time sensor data using Power BI's new features.

As mentioned earlier, Microsoft released a set of features in preview designed to make it easier than ever to display real-time streaming data in your Power BI dashboards. We'll explore these features and show you just how easy it is to integrate your Raspberry Pi weather station with Power BI.

If you have any questions or need further clarification on any of the steps, please don't hesitate to reach out in the comments below or our community forums. The lessons and sample code provided in this tutorial are broadly applicable to a wide range of IoT scenarios, so feel free to experiment and adapt them to your own use cases.

In conclusion, we will demonstrate how to stream temperature and humidity data from a Raspberry Pi weather station to Power BI using Microsoft's API streaming dataset feature. With these steps, you'll be able to set up your own real-time weather station dashboard with ease, showcasing the power of Power BI for IoT applications.
