[Wireless Room Temperature Monitoring System] Enclosure for wireless temperature sensor prototype

Alright, so now that i have to mess up with the code and make the code work properly, i need to have an easy to handle hardware prototype. To do so i incorporated a switch so i can put the sensor on and off without having to unplug the battery.

There it is :  The switch is available on the front side. I made a hole to have the temperature sensor stick out of the box for more accuracy.

View of the inside... pretty messy but it works


And there it is closed, the antenna is sticking out of the box through  a hole.


Until I design a 3D printed enclosure, that will do the trick.

  1. Looks like a great little project for a starter. Has some of your code become a little disjointed when transferred to the web? the pi code looks as if it has lost some formatting. Have you done this using a basic wire thermostat as well? My intention is to have a number of these units for monitoring in various locations, so device ID + temp sent to a receiving unit.

    1. hi Tony,
      Which code exactly are you refering to ? Just share the link of the post that you think contains the issue. I havent put the whole code anyway since i havent written most of it and it come from people much smarter than me (they are all referenced in my notes).
      Just let me know which part exactly and i can go over it again no problem

      I haven't actually included a thermostat, they are just temperature sensors wirelessly transmitting to the raspberry pi (exactly has you described it)
