      Just got a temp/humidity and door sensors working on a Pi, tomorrow I get to decide how often I want to log temps, what temps to send a text/email to myself, how often to check temp/humidity and all that good stuff that needs dumped into a script.

      FrankenSwitch will get a display tomorrow 😉 Just need to order a longer FPC (flat ribbon) cable

      I'm not yet sure if it will be the official 7" Raspberry Pi display or a 7" from Lemaker and a Banana Pro I have spare. Problem with the Lemaker: no touch controller 😞

        Nice. More pictures of FrankenSwitch as well I hope!

        Here's my little project. All I really wanted was a temp monitor for one of the rooms. Total out of pocket cost on the hardware for this was like $40. Should I want more of the same sort of thing it'll be easy to copy the code 🙂

        Also, my little adventure in C coding for the day:

        tech@tempdoor-rpi ~/source $ tmphmd.out
         temperature = 24.0 degC 75.3 degF
            humidity = 41.7%

          Hehe. Despite having a C and even some Assembler background, I really like to use C# today, even on the Pi with mono. Such a great language, very comparable to Java without all the BS.

          Take a look at these sensors I am using: https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00EU71QWK/ref=pd_aw_sim_60_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41E662BaZEL&dpSrc=sims&preST=AC_UL100_SR100%2C100&psc=1&refRID=NPY8AEDW0YKRXAJV86AT

          Dallas 1wire, very cheap, great quality, extremely easy to use.

            Yep, I like 1wire stuff as well. I've just been spoiled by Adafruit having example code for everything they do. Makes getting the little bits working so much quicker and easier. All I really have to do is figure out the custom scripts I want (yes, I'm lazy, lol 😛 )

                No code required, there's a virtual file driver (/sys driver) on Linux available or these. Just a one-liner, can will post that tomorrow if you like.

                    BTW, just found the same sensor over at Adafruit. The price is just 5 times higher... Must be the additional 4k7 resistor 😛

                            1/3rd of responses on this thread are paid marketers. Seriously?

                            https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1693424-replace-phone-system-and-add-video-conferencing-and-telehealth?page=1#entry-5978258

                            And of the remaining thread, a good percentage is the OP just acknowledging the posts left for him. nearly zero content there.

                                        Yeah, too many tech questions and threads end up hiding in here.

                                        FORK!

                                        Not without a knife you won't.

                                        I want a sharpened edge on my titanium spork, it would be the ultimate eating utensil then instead of the penultimate.

                                            More importantly, who failed to figure it out based on the four available options! Even if you had no idea, everyone should have been able to work it out at a glance as the other three options are totally unreasonable. That would be a worthless question on a test, a pure gimme.
