Device for logging temp, humid wanted
Hi. I want a device which I can set up in our shadehouse which will do the following:
1. Measure temperature and humidity.
2. Record these readings every 30 mins. (Other schedules like every hour would be ok, but half hourly is preferred as that aligns with met office data).
3. Allow me to export the data as a csv file. My preference would be date,time, temp and humidity in one line for each half hourly reading.
4. It must be waterproof as I water with overhead sprinklers.
5. It must run off battery, as I don’t have mains power near the shadehouse.
What I don’t need but don’t object to are:
1. Bluetooth or wifi connectivity.
2. cloud storage
3. out of range alerts.
I looked at the Govee products and they seemed to be very good but I couldn’t work out if they are waterproof, and couldn’t work out how they store the data or the extent of customisation. Do they allow me to record data every 30 mins ?
The reason I want this is all about microclimates. We live on a narrow, hilly peninsular surrounded by water so every bit has its own microclimate. That makes it difficult to use Met Office data to understand the nuances in our climate. To make it worse, the two nearest Met Office data points are poorly chosen and don’t represent the general area very well at all. I’d like to build up a fiddle factor as a measure of how much we vary from a more remote but more reliable data point (probably Observatory Hill on Sydney Harbour, if any locals are reading this).
I’d like to run this thing continuously for a year, extracting the data periodically, and then download data from the met office and compare in Excel.
Obviously I’m trying to minimise the work involved.
Any recommendations?
