OpenClaw AI Weather Station Tutorial

Before starting, please complete the [01-Hardware Configuration], [02-openclaw API-KEY Configuration], [03-openclaw Model Switching], [04-AI Voice Interaction Configuration], [05-Three Dialogue Solution Configuration Tests] under the Prerequisites directory. If you are currently only using TUI / whatsapp, you can skip 04 for now. This article assumes the basic environment has been prepared and only expands on the AI weather station project itself.

1. Tutorial Objectives

This article demonstrates OpenClaw's capabilities in desktop weather station scenarios through temperature/humidity collection, information display, and AI explanation. After completing this tutorial, readers can:

• Understand how to combine DHT, OLED, and RGB to create a local AI weather station

• Communicate with OpenClaw through three methods: whatsapp, TUI, and voice code

• Complete four project scenarios: environment collection, AI broadcast, weather card, status alert

2. Hardware Preparation

• OpenClaw mainboard

• DHT temperature and humidity sensor

• OLED display

• RGB light strip / RGB light bead module

• [Optional] AI voice module + speaker

• Wiring diagram

3. Software Preparation

Code entry points that will be used in the tutorial

• Temperature and humidity reading command: /home/jetson/hardware_hal_demo/dht

• OLED control command: /home/jetson/hardware_hal_demo/oled

• RGB control command: /home/jetson/hardware_hal_demo/rgb

• Voice entry: /home/jetson/voice_to_openclaw/src/main.py

• Terminal text entry: /home/jetson/voice_to_openclaw/src/text_main.py

The current set of tutorials focuses on "local environmental weather station", which is based on DHT indoor temperature and humidity data for display and explanation;

4. Test Project Basic Capabilities

Before starting this project, please complete one openclaw tui basic dialogue self-check; if you haven't done it yet, see [05-Three Dialogue Solution Configuration Tests]. After passing, enter AI weather station specific testing.

It is recommended to first enter OpenClaw TUI:

openclaw tui

Then test the following types of commands:

• Read current temperature and humidity

• Display weather card on OLED

• If environment is normal, light green

• Give me a brief environment broadcast

5. Three Solutions for Communicating with OpenClaw

If optional AI voice module + speaker are selected, whatsapp dialogue, tui, whatsapp dialogue need to broadcast OpenClaw's reply content. You can run the following program in terminal. AI voice module dialogue does not need to run repeatedly

• Modify whether to enable broadcast parameter
