I read somewhere that reading the data from the Kamstrup 66c meter might have a negative impact on it's battery life.. does anyone have any exact info on this? I would like to read it every hour.. but I want to prevent it running out of battery and having to get the wate rprovider at my door replaci...

For your info.. after quite a bit of searching I found a company in france selling the soil sensors.. http://www.plantcaretools.com/nl/websho ... -nl-detail for roughly the same price as the ebay one..

Anyone ever tried this antenna?

For anyone interested.. I ordered a couple and the maximum you can use with the rfxcom is 3 sensors (they all have the same ID). I put the one I have left on marktplaats for anyone who is interested. They work pretty well, but the outdoor one can give odd readings at times.. the indoor one works gre...

For the transmit part I use a piece of C code that I found somewhere on the web.. that part seems to work fine.. for the receiving end I use a little perl script.. I pretty much monitor /dev/ttyUSBX and once a transmission is made I pick it up in the perl script. However all the configuration etc I ...

Thanks for your reply..

Using mono is not really an option on embedded devices.. besides that wouldn't be command line

I Got myself the RFXtrx433... and I must say.. it's an interesting box.. I see lots of signals going by from my remotes.. however I want to use it to control some of my click-on-click-off devices.. With the SDK you can pretty much create anything you want.. but before I get really busy on programmin...

I think that might be a better choice indeed..
Once thing confuses me.. There is a order number 10104 and 10105.. will they both work from linux? If so.. why would anyone buy the 10104.. since the 10105 seems to support more devices...

Does anyone know if this USB transmitter works under linux? I still have it here in an unopened box..

Hi, Does anyone know how easy it is to controle the RFXCOM products from linux? I am talking writing your own scripts etc? And is the USB version any easier than the lan version or is it kind of the same? I noticed the LAN version is more expensive than separate receiver/transmitter USB modules.. ar...

Hi, I got myself a Watchbot camera via Groupon.. and I must say.. for 49 euro you get a lot of camera.. it can pan/tilt (not zoom!).. has an integrated motion detection and you can quite easily script it from linux.. (so you can have it move to certain positions or in my case have it shoot a panoram...
