Engineer/Programmer Needed for Prototype Temperature/RH Data Logging&Display
Objective: To provide cost effective real time display and logging of temperature and relative humidity in multiple vivaria as well as to log this data for other display purposes.
Project Requirements:
Basic:
- A combined temperature and humidity probe that has a very small footprint, is protected from excess moisture, and has a long (10ft+) cable from the probe itself to the controller
- Controller displayed readings of temperature and humidity based on probe number
- Computer displayed readings of temperature and humidity based on probe number as well as the ability to log the data and make calculations from it (e.x. 24 hour high and low temp/RH, daily averages, weekly averages, etc)
-The ability to connect 4 or more probes to the controller
Advanced:
- The ability to turn on and off a device (e.x. a fan) based on probe readings
- Based on temperature readings, have an audible alarm/tweet/e-mail notification/SMS message sent
- The ability to access data via the internet (e.x. while on vacation or at work)
Pay: TBD
The only comparable system out there is the HerpKeeper (from digitalaquatics )which is way overcomplicated and expensive in my opinion. Additional temp/rh probes are $80 each. Also, I don't feel that this product supplies what the hobby wants.
There are many dart frog hobbyists that would use such a system (that I am requesting). Some hobbyists have entire rooms of their houses filled with dart frog tanks and have spent thousands and thousands of dollars on their frogs.
