I have recently moved into a house with a heating problem. We are redesigning the heating for several rooms, and the heating company wants to know how much hotter or colder various rooms are over time. I'd like to set up 4 or 5 wireless thermometers in different rooms, and somehow capture a history of temperatures for each room over several days, to show how each room heats differently. I thought I might be able to use some of the many "weather monitors" that seem to be available, but I haven't found a solution that seems to do what I want. Can someone suggest if there are good products/components that would work well to record the temperature of multipel rooms wirelessly? I can write some simple software if need be. |

Hi, I work in the Building Services Industry. The type of company you are looking for is one that specialises in BMS (Building Management Systems) or BEMS (Building Energy Management Systems). I am answering this question from the UK however I believe the following companies may be worth invstigating: Honeywell Trend Siemens These systems can be used for both monitoring and control however I believe you are only interested in the monitoring aspect. Wireless sensors are now becoming very popular. Most BMS systems will connect to a standard PC and software can be provided by the company. I am more used to larger commercial systems however I am aware of a number of 'low energy' housing projects here in the UK that are implementing such systems. Leading on from you existing question, perhaps if you gave more information on your current heating problem then perhaps you could avoid dealing with/paying the heating company altogether and get and answer from Google? |

There are a huge variety of dataloggers on the market. It depends what you mean by Inexpensive. Radio Spares do a nice range which link to a PC. We also use a range of stand alone products called Tinytalk. The are the size of a 35mm film canister. You connect to PC and activate. Then you diconnect and take to room in question. When you have completed logging just connect back to PC and down load data for analysis. You can change frequency etc. |
