For the temperature part, I bought 2 DS18B20 <\/a>sensors, in a waterproof package, coming with a 1m long cable and its 4.7k pull-up resistor. I also bought an DHT22\/AM2302<\/a> temperature and humidity sensor so I can get my kitchen’s environnement data along with fridge’s and freezer’s temperatures. Both sensors are digital sensor. That is, they send the temperature (and humidity for the AM2302) in the form of bits, not an analog voltage. DS18B20 sensor is using 1-wire<\/a> protocol which I found very nice because I can connect both DS18B20 sensor to the very same input.<\/p>\n Add a few leds for monitoring the status of the gizmo, a bit of soldering after some testing on a breadboard, a few lines of code, and that’s it, I got my WiFridge up and running, sending data to the internet…<\/p>\n In a coming post, I will go into more details, give a detailed schematic for the hardware, describe Arduino’s code that I used (I am still working on it though as I have some Wifi stability problems…) and how I sent data to my emoncms <\/a>web sites (one local on a Raspberry Pi and one on a shared hosting.)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" … or why one would want its fridge to be connected to the internet !
