    Default Raspberry Pi Temperature Monitor

    Not sure if anyone is interested, but I recently programmed a Raspberry Pi to monitor my Discus Breeding tanks and grow out tank temperatures. If anyone is interested let me know and I can post a tutorial. Total cost is about $50 for the hardware and there is some programming involved but I can post the code.

    The temperatures can be accessed from a web browser from my local network. I can also remote into the Raspberry from work.

    Next step is to have the Raspberry text me if the temperatures get +/- certain range of temperatures.

    Nice work Scott. Did you use Python or are you trying out .NET Core for Rasberry Pi?

    It is part Python and part node-red.

    Here a link to the Google Doc with the steps I used.. I am not a technical writer so if something does not make sense, let me know.

    Thanks a lot for the doc. I will use it to see if I can create an interface for my automatic water changer.
