Monitor Temp and Humidity via usb adapter and Cacti

Discussion in 'Tech Talk & Computing' started by Proper310, Mar 13, 2011.

  1. Using Ubuntu 10.10, Cacti monitoring software, and a deal extreme USB Powered Thermometer + Hygrometer I am able to remotely monitor my indoor grow environment. I am not going to cover how to install and setup ubnutu/cacti, but i will post my cacti templates as well as the custom c-binaries to read the usb stick. Also, please note the www-data (or cacti user) will need sudoers access to the hardware to run these c-binaries. In my configuration i have put the binaries in ‘/usr/bin/’.
    You can download the gzipped tarball with xml templates and binaries here.
    Also I'll answer any questions to help you get setup.
