Example Dioxus/Rust application monitoring sensor devices using the BleuIO dongle

This is a desktop application developed in Rust using the Dioxus framework (v0.7). It monitors Bluetooth LE sensor data via a BleuIO USB dongle.

The application is specifically designed to monitor sensors from Smart Sensor Devices AB, primarily the HibouAIR series.

Supported Sensors & Data

The application parses advertisement data from HibouAIR sensors, supporting various metrics depending on the sensor model:

• Environment: Temperature, Humidity, Barometric Pressure, Ambient Light.
• Air Quality: CO2 (Carbon Dioxide), VOC (Volatile Organic Compounds), PM1.0, PM2.5, PM10.
• Other: PIR (Motion), Noise levels.

How it works

1. Discovery: The app searches for a USB device matching the BleuIO Vendor ID and Product ID.
2. Serial Connection: It opens the corresponding USB Serial port using serialport5 and serial2-tokio.
3. Initialization:
   • Turns echo off (ATE0).
   • Enables verbose mode (ATV1).
4. Scanning: Starts scanning for specific sensor advertisement data using the command AT+FINDSCANDATA=FF5B07 (where 5B07 is the HibouAIR manufacturer ID).
5. Persistence: The application uses confy to remember window size and position across restarts.

Installation & Setup

Prerequisites

• Rust: Install Rust
• Dioxus CLI:

  cargo install dioxus-cli

• System Dependencies (Linux/Raspberry Pi): You may need libudev development headers:

  sudo apt-get install pkg-config libudev-dev

  Ensure your user has permission to access the serial port:

  sudo usermod -a -G dialout $USER

  (Log out and back in for changes to take effect)

Running the App

To run in development mode with hot-reloading:

dx serve

To build for release:

dx build --release --platform desktop

Compatibility

The application has been tested and verified on:

• macOS (with macos-app-nap prevention)
• Raspberry Pi 5 (latest Debian Trixie)
