        So it's Germany vs. the Targaryens?

          Just got a temp/humidity and door sensors working on a Pi, tomorrow I get to decide how often I want to log temps, what temps to send a text/email to myself, how often to check temp/humidity and all that good stuff that needs dumped into a script.

            Watching the footy (well it half time at the moment)

            I would rather go to some motivational seminar and walk over glowing coals before I would watch football soccer.

              I always referred to all sports as "sportsball"

              Recently it actually became a thing and now I am lost.

                    I'm not yet sure if it will be the official 7" Raspberry Pi display or a 7" from Lemaker and a Banana Pro I have spare. Problem with the Lemaker: no touch controller 😞

                      Nice. More pictures of FrankenSwitch as well I hope!

                      Here's my little project. All I really wanted was a temp monitor for one of the rooms. Total out of pocket cost on the hardware for this was like $40. Should I want more of the same sort of thing it'll be easy to copy the code 🙂

                      Also, my little adventure in C coding for the day:

                      tech@tempdoor-rpi ~/source $ tmphmd.out
                       temperature = 24.0 degC 75.3 degF
                          humidity = 41.7%

                        Hehe. Despite having a C and even some Assembler background, I really like to use C# today, even on the Pi with mono. Such a great language, very comparable to Java without all the BS.

                        Take a look at these sensors I am using: https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00EU71QWK/ref=pd_aw_sim_60_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41E662BaZEL&dpSrc=sims&preST=AC_UL100_SR100%2C100&psc=1&refRID=NPY8AEDW0YKRXAJV86AT

                        Dallas 1wire, very cheap, great quality, extremely easy to use.

                              No code required, there's a virtual file driver (/sys driver) on Linux available or these. Just a one-liner, can will post that tomorrow if you like.

                                  tech@tempdoor-rpi ~/source $ tmphmd.out
                                   temperature = 24.0 degC 75.3 degF
                                      humidity = 41.7%
                                  

                                  Hehe. Despite having a C and even some Assembler background, I really like to use C# today, even on the Pi with mono. Such a great language, very comparable to Java without all the BS.

                                  Take a look at these sensors I am using: https://www.amazon.de/gp/aw/d/B00EU71QWK/ref=pd_aw_sim_60_2?ie=UTF8&dpID=41E662BaZEL&dpSrc=sims&preST=AC_UL100_SR100%2C100&psc=1&refRID=NPY8AEDW0YKRXAJV86AT

                                  Dallas 1wire, very cheap, great quality, extremely easy to use.

                                  Yep, I like 1wire stuff as well. I've just been spoiled by Adafruit having example code for everything they do. Makes getting the little bits working so much quicker and easier. All I really have to do is figure out the custom scripts I want (yes, I'm lazy, lol 😛 )

                                  BTW, just found the same sensor over at Adafruit. The price is just 5 times higher... Must be the additional 4k7 resistor 😛

                                    Tags are your friend. also not continuing to post in the "What are you doing right now?" thread would be a great f'n start.

                                      Yeah, too many tech questions and threads end up hiding in here.

                                          1/3rd of responses on this thread are paid marketers. Seriously?

                                          https://community.spiceworks.com/topic/1693424-replace-phone-system-and-add-video-conferencing-and-telehealth?page=1#entry-5978258

                                          And of the remaining thread, a good percentage is the OP just acknowledging the posts left for him. nearly zero content there.

                                            Thinking about how it's 4am and I should be asleep but instead I'm sitting here staring at the screen thinking about what else I have to do tomorrow after I've had enough sleep.
