I'm new to the RPi, and learning Python too, but have been an avid PC enthusiast since Adam was a lad,
dabbling in most hardware / software projects & advance cooling too!Anyway, i've bought the RPi B+ with the intent of buying more units to perform various tasks around the house, including CCTV, Home Automation among other things...
The first thing i would like to do is the following, so i have questions, and open to suggestions to help me on the way.
I would like to place a temperature probe in each room of the house, ideally the wiring can be done through the vast amount of redundant CAT6 i installed when renovating the house. (Approx 10 rooms)
I would then like these hooked up to the Pi (via Gertduino?) which are constantly being monitored.
I would then like a program that reads all the temperatures, works out an average, which will then trigger a relay or output to turn the heating on or off, and in the future, possibly trigger an AC system to cool things down or open some electric roof windows.
Now, the idea is all in my head, but really don't know where to start and what other hardware i should be buying or the kind of Python program i should be looking at writing.
Hope someone would be kind enough to help me out, as i would like to document this as i go along.
Many thanks,
