16 discrete levels per degree = 4 bits. 16 bits would give you 65536, which I'm sure would satisfy the data nerd in you.
My question about the blank tweets was more on the fact that the tweets were effectively duplicates but got through? Is it time based too?
It sounds like a nice project, and easily controllable too. Temperature sensors around the flat for distribution plots plz.

Clearly I didn't use my brain when I wrote that comment - yeah 4 bits, and yeah, somehow those tweets got through. Logs are lost to the aether now though so I can't see how. I will have a look at the Twitter API docs some time maybe
Temperature around the house would be great. Could identify when I need to bleed a radiator and also get them all perfectly balanced...

Yeah, I'm quite surprised. If I hammer it in the terminal I think the precision is about ~0.0625°C (16 bits per 1°C?) and it does change every few seconds so I suspect it's just fluky that it's stable for so long. Maybe me being in the flat rustling the air around is a factor too.
I just
catthe/sys/devices/w1_bus_master1/28-<junk>/w1_slavefile. The thermometer became detached or something at that time so the file no longer existed, and so it just tweeted nothing.Going to give it a good go. What is really motivating this is me being a combo of a data nerd, an eco-warrior and also the proud owner of some very warm outdoor clothing. So I'd like it to be able to switch itself off if a window is open, and also to collect some nice data on how warm it is per unit gas burnt (if/when eon finally installs my smart meters). Hopefully I can optimise the whole thing to use the bare minimum amount of gas to keep it above like, 13° or something.
