periodic house ventilation

Mon Nov 09, 2015 12:42 pm

Hi,

following circumstances:
My new house is under construction and I wanna supervise the humidity because it needs periodic ventilation.
So I'm looking for a simple solution to get those information on the screen in my office?

construction site: a Pi with a humidity sensor and an USB data stick.
at home: selfhosted owncloud instance (version 8.1.3)

My thought: write those information in a text file which will be synced to the owncloud. Is there a raspberry pi sync client? A commando line client at best.

Maybe WebIOPI & Weaved IoT could be a solution :?:

fyi Raspbian Wheezy & Jessie have the OwnCloud Client in the Software Repository

Thanks for the comment.

Didn't fully get it yet but it looks interesting.

Does it require a dedicated ip adress? (weaved)

Note!
As far as I know it's not that easy or even possible to accomplish static ip adress over an USB data stick..

Weaved doesn't require a static IP. The raspberry pi is connect to your weaved account, in which you can login and the connect to the raspberry pi. ;)

+1

This also is beneficial as most 3G Dongle ISP's do not offer static IP etal....

Why do you need the interface? I have 12 temp / humidity sensors in my attic, and just turn on the vent fans as needed for 5 minutes.
Inside house I have them in the secondary air ducts so I don't ship moist air from shower, or kitchen when balancing room temps. Server room lets the central heat off the hook a lot, and being able to pull cold air from downstairs helps with ac in summer.
