RE: Temperature Monitoring

["Marc Fuller" <marcrfuller@xxxxxxxxx>]

I used to use a TOM10 board as well. It worked very well for about a
year,
then sensors started dropping off and the whole system just stopped one
day.
Most likely due to the BUS being damaged, or dry joints on the sensor.



I now use RFXCOM sensors. They work very well and are very reliable.. but
it's damn expensive to get started. You need the transceiver, temperature
unit and sensors. If your using with Homeseer, you'll also need the
interface plugin, and if you want charts, RFXCharts (Which I still haven't
got working)



Cheers

A while back I put together a temperature monitoring system using a
TOM10 board and DS18S20 sensors.

It has not worked for a while being a low priority to resurrect
following a server death and ultimately it got forgotten.

I'd quite like to get it going again and whilst googling for the
"How-To" (having forgotten how I did it!) I wondered if this is
the best
way to go these days....

Would appreciate any pointers / suggestions please - I would like to
capture data from about 10 sensors initially. Preference would be for
something Ubuntu / VM / USB based.

TIA

Mark
