Before winter I wanted to build a thermostat thing to control my heating mainly in the interests of efficiency.

I was looking at this which uses an Arduino:

However I see @lynx did the same with a Raspberry Pi, did that work out? Or I could use the teensy thing posted above...

Would be nice if I could interact with it from outside my house but I don't have a static IP, maybe a Twitter robot or something?

Anyone done anything like this?

Did not get any further with the project, apart from getting the pi, had issues sourcing decent batteries for the temp sensors.

Problem was that I needed the set up to be reliable and run without any problems as I would not be around to keep an eye on it.

Better off with mains then no?

I'm lucky (well, sort of; I live in a minuscule 1-bed flat) in that my boiler and router are right next to each other, don't think I'll bother with the separate sensors...
