All,
Just an update… I haven’t worked on my Raspberry Pi automation in recent months (mostly, because it just works and I never need to check on it)
But, I’m now planning to go commercial with this as a product.
So, I’ve been busy last few weeks adding some new features, fixing some bugs, and writing some cool new plugins:
- Email Alert (can also be used to SMS your mobile, useful to receive notifications if a fan has died and temperature is now too high… or, if the lights outlet says it is ON… but the light sensor says the room is still dark!)
- IFTTT Alert (Send measurements to the IFTTT.com service, for integration with other smart device platforms)
I’m also currently working on a plugin that could send all the measurement data to a spreadsheet in your Google docs)
In the next coming weeks I’m going to launch a BETA test of the platform, and plan on giving away 5 complete systems (raspberry pi, software, hygrometers, soil sensors, and power outlets) for OG members, so I can get some additional feedback and suggestions before I go commercial with it.
Stay tuned!
