Please log in for more thread options Any suggestions on how to learn the temperature in a distant room? A webcam pointing at a thermometer is the best I've managed so far. Any solutions which can be read on Homeseer's web server would be preferred. Thanks. Tony | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

One is 35 miles away and another over 3,000 miles away. > Is there a PC in that room, connected to the

You could do something like hooking up a 1-wire (Dallas) Serial or USB adapter ($20) to the remote PC, and something like a DS18s20 (one or more - $3 each) to monitor the temp(s). Some code would need to be written to collect the temp(s) and provide it in the manor required. > wrote:

And Torsten found something similar using DS1621, but I'm really looking for any solution which uses off-the-shelf hardware and software. > Some code would need to be written to collect the temp(s) and provide it in
