Nettemp Client Installation

Install Nettemp Client on Raspberry Pi / Linux using pipx (recommended).

Prerequisites​

  • Raspberry Pi (any model) or Linux device (Debian/Ubuntu)
  • Python 3.9+
  • Internet connection
  • Sudo access

pipx installs Nettemp as a global CLI, but keeps dependencies isolated.

sudo apt update
sudo apt install -y python3 python3-pip pipx

pipx ensurepath
pipx install "nettemp @ git+https://github.com/sosprz/nettemp_client.git"

# Start a new shell (or log out/in) so PATH updates apply
sudo su - ${USER}

Configure & Run​

# Interactive configurator
nettemp config

# Foreground client (debug)
nettemp client

# Background client
nettemp client start
nettemp client stop
nettemp client restart

Configuration Menu

Where Configuration Files Live​

By default, Nettemp stores configuration and runtime files in:

  • ~/.nettemp_client (override with NETTEMP_CONFIG_DIR / NETTEMP_DATA_DIR)

Key files:

  • config.conf — device + server settings
  • drivers_config.yaml — local sensor drivers
  • mqtt_rules.yaml — MQTT parsing rules
  • theengs_gateway_config.json — generated TheengsGateway config
  • nettemp_client.log — client logs

Auto-start on Boot​

Use the configurator:

nettemp config → System Management → Setup Auto-Start (Cron Job)

Updating​

pipx upgrade nettemp
nettemp client restart

Uninstalling​

nettemp config
# → System Management → Remove Auto-Start (Cron Job)

pipx uninstall nettemp

# Optional: remove configs/logs
rm -rf ~/.nettemp_client

Troubleshooting​

  • Missing dependency in pipx environment: pipx runpip nettemp install <package>
  • View logs: tail -n 200 ~/.nettemp_client/nettemp_client.log
