I can’t find any of the sensors except raspberry pi in India anyone knows where I can get it or some other alternative I could use.

I think that’s still an I2C bus based board, so although the register addresses and sensor outputs will be different, the general approach should be the same. I’m sure with the boards’ data sheets in hand it would be possible to follow the book with appropriate modifications. It would probably make it an even better learning exercise, depending on how much appetite (and/or time) you have available

Author of Build a Weather Station with Elixir and Nerves
Beta 2 of the book has just landed
Feel free to check it out at: Build a Weather Station with Elixir and Nerves: Visualize Your Sensor Data with Phoenix and Grafana by Alexander Koutmos, Bruce A. Tate, Frank Hunleth
The updates for this beta include the addition of chapter 4 and chapter 5 as well as addressing some errata. Chapter 4 goes over how to publish data from your Nerves device to a Phoenix API that you will be writing. The Phoenix API is backed by TimescaleDB so you can store and query all that time-series goodness 
. Chapter 5 goes over how to set up Grafana and how to visualize your time-series data that is stored in TimescaleDB. By the end of the book you’ll be able to build a (near) real-time weather dashboard like so:
Be sure to check it out and feel free to reach out with any feedback! Happy hacking

OK, my weather station is complete. I have to say, that this book and the project was the most entertaining one in a few years probably.
The only question now is what case to use for the RPI and the sensors? Anybody has a tip?
And I want to have the current data accessible via HomeKit. Is GitHub - mtrudel/hap: A HomeKit Accessory Protocol (HAP) Implementation for Elixir · GitHub the way to go?

I would also love to know what people have done for cases for this thing. I’m all thumbs when it comes to real world building as I expect many of you reading this book will be also. What would a case for this weather station need? Can I put the whole thing in a Tupperware and call it a day? Would that block the light sensor too much?
I loved building this and following along in the short book format.
