I might as well. This is an ongoing project of mine. I made a video: Automation - YouTube

I have the arduino store 127 readuings x 2 sensors. The interval can be set. There is a bluetooth modem attached.

The arduino code provides basic services to the computer-side application. This includes:

  • Read sensor from analog pin
  • Select sensors to be recorded while PC is offline
  • Read from multiple SHT11 humistors
  • Read from multiple DS12x20 1-wire temp sensors
  • Read log array and current pointer
  • Write programming file
  • Turn on/off outlets
  • Turn on/off automatic control

I suppose that's enough details for now. It's a pretty big project, coming along slowly but surely. Future versions will be based on the arduino mini and cheaper 400MHz transcievers.

Sounds good I can't wait to see how it works out. Keep us updated!
