  • Keep meaning to get around to hacking my home temp monitoring stuff.

    I want temp in 4 or 5 rooms using DS18B20's (although some rooms will be treated to a Honeywell HIH-4031 or similar humidity sensor as a bonus). All running back to a RPi or a ESP8266 so it can be scraped, stored on the NAS and graphed at my leisure.

    Then I'll add another temp/humidity sensor for the outside world and also a few DS18B20's ziptied to radiator pipes in various rooms and possibly the HW and CH outlet pipes of the boiler to keep an eye on the heating system.

    But, yes, working with computers all day long does sap my motivation somewhat. I've got a huge list of home projects and this list only ever seems to grow.

  • I'd really recommend going down the Iot4.eu route for this. Buy 4 or 5 of their wifi temp sensors, and they will do all the logging for you automatically to thingspeak including graphing and csv extracts of your data.

    The IOT4 sensors use DS18B20 as their thermocouple.
