WiFi Temperature Gauge

[Mike Revitt]

Just wondered if anyone has a remote temperature gauge, WiFi connected, that they use to feed into Weews.

If so what make/model temperature gauge did you use and how did you get the data into Weewx.

The getting the data in bit I am less concerned about having successfully gotten my Raspberry Pi CPU temperature into Weewx, but would appreciate any advise on this thanks

standalone wifi temp gauge, or part of a wifi weather station?

Standalone,

 

I want to measure the inside temperature of my Caravan over winter to make sure that the heater stops it from getting too damp and stops it getting too cold

I use a sensorpush temp monitor to monitor a fridge in the country on a vacant farm house. It reports to the wifi through a base station. Can also send emails to you for max or min temperature. 

Not cheap though. About 150 dollars for the base station and one sensor.

Sweet solution,

I take it you need the base station and sensor

And how did you hook it into Weewx

And are you using a Raspberry PI

Thanks

Using as a stand alone for now. Will have to attempt to figure it out concerning weewx. Would have to probably use some type of a packet interceptor as others have done 

for their wifi weather stations to connect the sensorpush to weewx. Haven't started that project yet.

The base station picks up the bluetooth temp sensor in the fridge and then reports it to the sensorpush server which also record the temps and humidiy for 

hour, day, week, month, year report.

Need to work out if there is a API that can be called from the Rasberry Pi, then I can feed the data into Weewx

Hi Mike,

You could use the Ecowitt WH31 outdoor temp & humidity sensor coupled with a GW1000 to do this.

In fact the GW1000 can monitor 8 WH31's so you could keep track of temp & humidity in multiple areas.

Tim

One idea might be to use one of the commonly available 433MHz sensors and use the weewx-sdr driver (and rtl-sdr / rtl-433) to pick up the signal on your server. I can pick up the data easily from 150' (50m) away using a cheap RTL2832U SDR USB stick and the supplied whip antenna.

Looks like this may be a good fit and I see that Weewx can read from the gw1000, but I wondered if I can just read the data with my existing config rather than starting a 2nd Weewx session as I want the data on the 1 website

Mike,

You could try running as a service rather than a driver.
