sensornet

The aim of the project is provide data for persons attending the space apps challenge and model the data in the same way as thermal heat image. So you will be able to find the hot and cold areas of the room being measured.

Cool IT - Sensor Net all data is public; The Arduino Duemilanova @ Build Brighton (Brighton's Hackerspace) data has a read public API Key z6TXnz9Ff4XadgetnsApPPwgLyjFg9CiDYUh2Z2ppzEAu6LK

SensorNET was the hub part of the project, temperature and humidity (A DHT22 RH03) mounted on the board gave local readings and the 6 Dallas one-wire sensors mounted on strip-board and attached in rope formation which could be spread out to about 10 meters from the base. Also included in the set-up was a waterproof sensor which could be placed in a pond so able to monitor the temperature. The sensors were placed outside my window and lowered down to ground level; I'm about 2 floors up in a house converted into flats, the remaining sensors where placed high and low and the waterproof one was placed inside my fridge. This gave a good range of temperatures shown on the 2 digit 7 segment display.

Second project was a DHT22 sensor mounted on a breadboard which measured the temperature and humidity which uploaded data to Xively where it can be viewed and the service uses RESTapi so others can pull data from the web page. The nrf24L01 transceivers where mounted upon custom made breakout boards and the bluetooth module upon the sensor net provided data transmission to a connected phone and viewed using a terminal App.

The sensor net hub project could be made in a kit using PCB's mounted into a box and wall mounted. Also the Dallas sensors could become mounted together with a DHT22, a processor and have a wireless link back to the hub.
