Ask HN: What sensors do you have in your home?
I started looking for tools to measure air quality, and found many more commercially available sensors (for various things) than I'd ever considered.
I image more than a few people on HN must have experimented with these kinds of things. What sensors do you use and what metrics do you collect?
- orcs 8y agoI have none. I'd never put any in my home unless I had complete control over them. Same goes for digital assistants, no Google home or Amazon echo for me.
- Odenwaelder 8y agoTemperature and humidity. I'm looking into building a PM10 sensor.
- zunzun 8y agoMy home-made flatulometer is calibrated in sniffs per minute, but the family does not like the calibration experiments.
- humptydumpty001 8y agoI hope you have smoke alarm at least.
- mothsonasloth 8y agoNone, I have my physiological senses and that is enough for me. I don't want a sensor telling me one room is 1C colder than another room. Or controlling my light. Same goes for the Amazon Echo wiretapping for the CIA.
- stadeschuldt 8y agoI have a bunch of wireless temperature and humidity sensors in my apartment: http://blog.tafkas.net/2012/10/03/gathering-and-charting-temperatures-using-rrdtool-and-highcharts/ http://blog.tafkas.net/2012/10/03/gathering-and-charting-tem...
