This is the newest version of my arduino temperature sensor setup. Tonight I migrated to an Uno R3 from a Duemilanove and added a wireless shield. I then wrote a little web server so the thing doesn't need to be hooked to a machine via USB to read the sensors attached to it. Now it can sit in a corner in my kitchen and I can poll it from anywhere inside my network, which is mainly nice because I don't need it tethered to a server of some kind. I need to make a case of some kind for it.
Right now cricket is running on my laptop, but tomorrow I should get back an older macbook pro I sent off for repairs, and it will become my all around home server / entry into my home network, so I can move the poller/grapher/web server to it and gain a remote entry way into other devices in my network, like my raid, in the process.
I also have on order a waterproof version of the same temperature sensor I am already using, and I'm going to add it to this set up and run it outside. That way instead of scraping wunderground's nearby weather station to graph the outdoor temp vs the indoor temp, I can grab the data from exactly at my place and using exactly the same type of sensor.
I also did some cricket hacking to get the graphing done up how I wanted it. I actually remember quite a bit of perl. Which is...something. I even sent a bunch of notes about installing cricket on Mountain Lion to cricket-users. Though, that list seems incredibly dead.
I am way, way too pleased with this project.
