I'm proud to present to you FLOWEATHER, an innovative device for environmental measurements arduino-based that's also a beautiful flowepot for your garden with typical italian design.
Born as a thesis project want to be a commercial product.
It uses:
temperature sensor
humidity sensor
atmospheric pressure sensor
carbon monoxide sensor
gprs module
real time clock
lcd display
Li-on battery
solar cell
in order to realize hourly measurements that could be viewed on:
1- lcd screen
2- personale web page
3- your cellphone with an sms
Hey Dude, I´m building something very similar, (blog.jfkreuter.com) but there ist nothing on your (beautiful) website. Could you provide some more Informations. A real Documentation including used parts and code would be great. Looking forward to see more from your project!
Greetings, Jan

thanks! We use three sensors:
SHT15 temperature and humidity sensor by Sensirion
MPX4115 air pressure sensor by Motorola
TGS2442 carbon monoxide sensor by Figaro
for communication of data to server, we use the GM862 GSM/GPRS module by Telit.
Code and schematics will be available as soon as possible on the official site www.floweather.com,
right now we are completing all the documents using doxygen.
We'll push up this topic.
If you need any particular information just ask us.
If you added GPS you'd be able to use all of them as a distributed sensor network without the user having to enter location data.
actually we designed the station as a node of a WSN and we decided to avoid the GPS module because of the high price and to localize station via GSM data cell (lac, cid, mnc, mcc). It's a bit less accurate (about 300m) than GPS but it's good enough for this kind of applications.
