Revision as of 11:43, 14 December 2011

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

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.

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
