For my home automation i’m using Home Assistant and Domoticz.
All 433Mhz Temperature/Humidity are connected to a RFXcom device on two domoticx instances. (Master slave construction)

I’ve made a php script and a bash script to draw all sensors on a floorplan in realtime.

There is also a cron running which takes a snapshot of the generated image every 5 minutes.
These images are being converted to MP4 and animated GIF to have a timelapse with all temperatures displayed on a floorplan.

The circles are where sensors are placed.
Colors are from blue till red, representing the heat.
In the center is the measured temperature value.

The (shortened) PHP script: (index.php)

<?php
header('Content-type: image/png');
// This is the floorplan empty ..
$png_image = imagecreatefrompng('plattegrondenmerge.png');
$white = ImageColorAllocate($png_image, 0, 0, 0);

$max = 40;
$min = -10;

// living
// getstate is a bash script (see below which gets the values from domoticz using curl) 
// 840 is the domoticz idx
$temp840 = shell_exec('./getstate 840');
// A gray circle will be drawn if the temperature age is > 500 seconds
$age = shell_exec('./new.sh 18 840 500 >/dev/null || echo gray');
// location of circle
$start_x = 950;
$start_y = 760;
$line = $temp840 + 10;
// get x-th line from colors
$colorfromlist = shell_exec("tail --lines=$line ./colors2 | head -1");
if(strpos($age, "gray") !== false){
 $colorfromlist = "128,128,128";
};
$colors = explode(",", $colorfromlist);
$color = imagecolorallocatealpha($png_image, $colors[0], $colors[1], $colors[2], 50);
// draw circle
imagefilledellipse ($png_image, $start_x, $start_y, 175, 175, $color);
$start_x = $start_x - 70;
$start_y = $start_y + 15;
// add text
imagettftext($png_image, 24, 0, $start_x, $start_y, $white, './verdana.ttf', $temp840);

// winecellar
$temp840 = shell_exec('./getstate 839');
$age = shell_exec('./new.sh 18 839 700 >/dev/null || echo gray');
$start_x = 560;
$start_y = 840;
$line = $temp840 + 10;
$colorfromlist = shell_exec("tail --lines=$line ./colors2 | head -1");
if(strpos($age, "gray") !== false){
 $colorfromlist = "128,128,128";
};
$colors = explode(",", $colorfromlist);
$color = imagecolorallocatealpha($png_image, $colors[0], $colors[1], $colors[2], 50);
imagefilledellipse ($png_image, $start_x, $start_y, 175, 175, $color);
$start_x = $start_x - 70;
$start_y = $start_y + 15;
imagettftext($png_image, 24, 0, $start_x, $start_y, $white, './verdana.ttf', $temp840);

// ETC ETC

imagesavealpha($png_image, TRUE); 

  imagepng($png_image);
  imagedestroy($png_image);
?>

getstate bash script
(gets the temperature from domoticz instance1 given an idx)

#!/bin/bash
curl -s --connect-timeout 2 --max-time 5 "http://ip-domoticz1:8080/json.htm?type=devices&rid=$1" | egrep "Temp|Humid" | awk '{print $3 }' | cut -f1 -d\. | grep -v \" | tr -d "\n\r" | sed s/,/%\ /g | awk '{ print $2"° "$1 }'

new.sh script gets the age of the reading from
domoticz1 or domoticz1
Usage: ./new.sh <domoticz-last-numer-ip> <idx> <maxageinseconds>

#!/bin/bash
## server idx time
now=$(date +%s)
lastupdate=$(curl -s -i -H "Accept: application/json" "http://192.168.1.$1:8080/json.htm?type=devices&rid=$2" |  grep LastUpdate | cut -f4 -d\" )
#echo $lastupdate
seen=$(date -d "$lastupdate" +%s)
#echo $seen
#echo "$(( $now - $seen))"
difftime="$(( $now - $seen))"
if [ $difftime -gt $3 ] ; then
  echo "WARN : too old - $difftime seconds"
  exit 1
else
  echo "OK : $difftime seconds"
  exit 0
fi
