Freezer Monitor
Monday, 03 February 2014
As I mentioned previously, my primary motivation — or at least my justification for playing with the Spark Cores ;) — is to monitor the temperature in the old freezer out in our garage: it stores a cache of pig and cow that would be expensive to replace.
I wrote a Python script to read the temperature and issue a notification to my iPhone via the API that goes with Prowl.app. It will also send a notification if it is unable to retrieve the temperature for an extended period.
I have this script installed as a launchd service on our always-on house Mac, via Lingon X (easily worth the $10 to save me from having to edit plist files like an animal).
Now to see about hooking the other Spark Core up to the BlinkyTape…
