[GRLUG] remote temperature monitoring

[Dave Chiodo]

I've got one of these:

http://www.radiothermostat.com/filtrete/products/3M-50/

Cost about $100 at Lowes.

They have an app (iphone and android) as well as a web-based control. These
both use their servers.

The unit does have an http port that speaks JSON to both query the current
info (temp, mode, etc) as well as to set or change stuff, but it is no
longer documented. *Somewhere* I have a copy of the documentation for it,
from when it was still available.

I use it to generate this, along with a usb "TEMPer" thermometer (to
measure the outside temperature)

This is probably complete overkill, but I thought I'd throw it out there
for consideration.
