You also want sensors. A SAN without sensors is lke a fish without a bicycle, no?

My package with the Faludi book and a bunch of Pro radios and adapters came yesterday. Stand-by for a disturbance in in the force, in T minus 10, 9, 8, ...

Ned I hope we haven't lost you??? :-) I'm afraid you're about to be swallowed by the sparkfun black hole. I know was. My wife and kids hardly recognize me any more! LOL We're expecting great things - check in with us once in a while.

BTW, I stumbled upon a pretty nifty java script gauge library. Check out my pool temperature.

Heh

I stole a few hours last night to break open the box. A lot of reality in there. I bought some radio adapters from Limor at AdaFruit, need to put 'em together first, then get the radios set up, and get my chat on. I like the Faludi book a lot, he's obviously crawled through this material, but the book mostly lopes along at an easy pace. Another package arrived today, should be full of components to use while I try to realize a few of my fantasy projects--re-engineering the Primus controller will be right up there once I get the wireless sorted out. Yee haw, hot up the coffee pot, I'm geeking late at night, buddy.

Still need to finish my water bay proj, then on to the high brow stuff Rolleyes

ROTFL

Late at night is the only time I get to geek, after the kids are in bed. If I'm lucky they're tired from an afternoon of swimming and they're in bed early. Then daddy plays!

I added some animation to my temperature gauge. Shoot! This all started by fiddling with an Arduino, then it morphed to XBee's, then the Cloud, and now Java programming. There's no escape! Cool

David,
FYI, FWIW, albeit for a home! Wink

I'm working as fast as I can Pete! I may be seeking venture capital soon! LOL Smile

Here's an article forwarded to me by Mike Bulriss from Electronic Design. This gives us a good idea of the size of this market.

It's been a little slow going (got derailed with other obligations), but I did have a chance to extract more info from the services over at my device cloud (iDigi Device Cloud By Etherios). Here's an updated JQuery page I cobbled up for my swimming pool water temp. I'll be at the bus next week so stay tuned for an installation inside the bus. Initially I'd like to monitor inside temperature and voltages of all the battery banks (house, chassis, and generator). As time permits I'll continue to update my page with tables, graphs, and gauges for the collected data.

Granted the Pool Temp page may not look like much but what it's doing is nothing short of amazing. Every time you load the page or click on "Refresh Temperature" your browser sends out an HTTP Get request to the Device Cloud, but the request first goes to a proxy on WaGu where your Device Cloud username and password are retrieved. The proxy then forwards the request to the Device Cloud. The Device Cloud accesses your account, identifies your gateway device data storage and presents it with the HTTP Get for the particular resource requested. The Device Cloud has this data because your Arduino Sensor Area Network in your bus is periodically forwarding i/o data samples to the Device Cloud using services provided by your ZigBee Gateway. The Device Cloud responds to the request with an XML document which it sends to WaGu. The proxy on WaGu forwards the XML document to your browser where JQuery code running on your browser parses the document and outputs the data in an HTML table. Whew!

All the building blocks are there to make it richer with more sensor data and fancier with more charts, plots, tables, graphs, and gauges! Stay Tuned!

It really is pretty amazing. To think I can sit way up north and check your pool temp is nothing short of real science fiction.
