Surprised the thing is accurate enough to stay constant for 6 hours.
Are you controlling the heating already? Or just reporting temperature?
yoshy-
Just reporting temperature. I don't know how accurate those things are - spec says +-0.5 C but I imagine that's systematically out by some offset?
Controlling the boiler should be easy - as I understand it the thermostat is literally just a switch that connects two nodes on the boiler which passes current when the temperature is below whatever's on the dial. I think it's 24V though so not quite as easy as just plugging something into a GPIO pin but not got that far yet.

In my logs:
{"errors":[{"code":187,"message":"Status is a duplicate."}]}Nice catch! I guess I don't need to tweet if the temperature hasn't changed. Surprised the thing is accurate enough to stay constant for 6 hours.
Will switch it over to Thingspeak probably as recommended by @Stonehedge
