Sounds fun. I built a little Arduino box that sits on our steam boiler and uses a bunch of Dallas 1-wire probes to monitor when it's running (as well as inside and outside temps). I thought about connecting the thermostat input to it, too, but the problem is that while it's transmitting data, it's not that easy to get user input uplinked to it.
- joshu 15y agodid you document any of this?
- lutorm 15y agoNot really (but the code is on bitbucket: https://bitbucket.org/lutorm/arduino https://bitbucket.org/lutorm/arduino). I've been meaning to post some pictures and stuff, but I haven't gotten around to it yet.
- nabilt 15y agoCool. You should post your project. I also made a diy web enabled thermostat + a bunch of other home energy gadgets. http://www.nabiltewolde.com/2011/11/home-energy-prototypes.html http://www.nabiltewolde.com/2011/11/home-energy-prototypes.h... I think these types of devices need to have a more open approach to the data they collect. Another project that is trying to do this is http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/ http://openenergymonitor.org/emon/
