weather station

Not so much of a real station as a place where I can see what it is like outside of my own windows. The data is collected using a dedicated GSM telemetry platform. It currently has:

• 1 temperature sensor inside my study
• 1 temperature outside (sometimes in direct sunlight)
• a rainmeter (like this one)

The next item that I would like to add is a anemometer. Will probably be this one.


Since this is a general purpuse telemetry platform, the device also performs some other functions in and around my house. These include:

• Switch the pantry light on and off whenever it is opened/closed.
• Keeps count of when the pantry is opened/closed.
• Switch the above light off when the door is left open (again) for too long.
• Opens/closes the garage door.
• Keeps count of when the garage door is opened/closed.
