Weather

Postings related to the local weather, or data from our weather station and in-house monitoring systems (based on Arduino)

In my hobby work on house information/house automation for our house I needed somewhere to store all the most recent data collected from various sensors and systems, in such a way that it would be accessible from any computer on our extended network. And I chose to use Memcached - as it is running purely in memory, and by its very nature is fast and accessible over the network.

It's data is not persistent after a crash - but I had no need for this, as I collect data very frequently, and persistence was not needed.

Here is a recent output from a dump of data stored in memcached :

Our home monitoring system is coming along with the addition of a set of jeenodes (see them as wireless and battery driven Arduinos)

The slave nodes look like this :

the green box houses the 3 AA batteries making this a truly wireless solution, enabling me to move this around to anywhere in the house.

At the server things look like this

but nothing compared to Røros in Norway which has -40 degrees celsius for the 2nd day in a row.

But this is why if feels so cold in the UK
