Temperature Monitoring
Temperature data from around the space is to be log via Cacti.
Sampling done with DS18S20 1-wire digital thermometer, these can be daisy chained of the other arduino and MQTT devices.
Aim to publish a standard format MQTT message that a script on Holly will decode and push to cacti
Posible Arduino to hook into
- Gatekeeper in members box room (arduino, ethernet)
- LED Matrix in studio (arduino mega, ethernet)
- Vending Machine in workshop (nanode)
- Energy Monitor in blue room cupboard (XRF)
Cheap and cheerful thermistor workshop
I have a bag of surplus 47k thermistors (about 500) and I intend to build a number of circuits to measure temperature starting with the very simplest and culminating in a teachable HackSpace project with reasonable accuracy. We will put these devices in fridges, near heat sources, near doors, windows, indoors, outdoors, you name it.
The component:
- Listed in stores as "Future Electronics B4090K Thermistor 47k 5%"
- I think it may be this one
- however, the Vishay product may be obsolete and the tolerance is listed as 1.5% rather than 5%

Some Google digging reveals...
- http://www.vishay.com/docs/29049/ntcle100.pdf
- these thermistors are colour coded
- Yellow Violet Orange Gold
- B25/85-VALUE = 4090K (+/- 5%) (the gold means 5%)
- Yellow Violet Orange Gold

Old Notes
- Temp sensors dotted around space
- Nanode again
- Small wireless units or daisy chain of dalas one wires?
- Humidity sensor's?
- Push to cacti
- Query from irc
