What do you think of this. I'm producing it:

https://www.facebook.com/kokonautweathersensors/

It's not using my network, but it's hackable enough that you can use it on your own network if you know how to flash it yourself.




Is it open source? that looks pretty rad. Are they available to purchase? Any plans for other devices?


What would you use this device for?

I haven't released the code for it yet, but there are plenty of tutorials online. It's using NodeMCU and a DHT11. If there's more interest in hacking the device, I can provide some blogposts or tutorial videos.

There are 5 available and 15-25 more are on the way. Please contact me if you're interested. I'm planning on selling it for around $35 and for the first few batches at $30 (as an early adopter discount). Email: antoniuschan99@gmail.com

For personal uses, I have a waterproof temperature sensor coming in, and plan to use that for my aquarium, so maybe I will produce that version. Also I am tinkering with electrical outlets that can be remotely triggered. So you can set the weather alarm to trigger appliances.


A few things:

Monitor the temperature in my office (I run a few servers)

Check the temperature outside. I'm close enough to a major city that everything uses that location, but often it's different from where I'm actually at.

My garage. Sometimes I have paints/stains/beer/etc that shouldn't be above/below a certain temperature.

I'll look at it more then email you


Cool, thanks!
