A Community and Forum For Aquaponic Gardeners

Green house monitor systems.

I am leaning to a Weather system. I have found a few with cheap software and sensors that allow posting on a website. I will post the choices I have found and what my thoughts are as to how they could be used in Aquaponic systems.

They have water temp sensors that will help tell me a lot in the winter.

Weather Snoop software

handles 10 sensors.

Possible this weather station. Or a variation of it.

Another better solution but one that I haven't found is the x-10 2 way system. It can monitor if the plug-switch is on or off. Lots of applications here for a good x-10 system. Integrated into a iphone app and weather station.

I just ordered an Oregon Scientific weather station from the site you linked me in an e-mail. Seems the only way it came with the software (different software than pictured above I think) and PC connection was as a bundle but then I added two of the water temperature sensors. Will see how it does once it gets here.

I have the weather station. First thing I hooked up were the floating sensors (don't set either of them to ch 1 since that channel is reserved for the main temp and humidity unit that comes with the main weather station, I had to go back and change one due to the conflict.) Now it says you could have up to 10 of these but I don't see how if they only have 3 channel choices, perhaps there are other models with channels 4-10.

Anyway, got those hooked up. Now I just need to mount the three sensors that came with the base unit and load the software to see what I can do with it.

Thanks for the tip Cosmo!

Yep that is the link I used to go and pick out a station and the extra sensors. Thanks.

Anyone else have any comments on weather station software? I haven't been making that much headway searching on the internet for tips about weather station software and uploading to the internet. I probably just haven't found the right discussion forums on it yet through.
