Moe again. If a crack in the Earth's crust is going swallow either Moe or Cheltenham, then I know which one would be missed most. Several years ago I went looking for a "weather station" device that I could stick up on the roof and feed its output into my PC and write an app to record and display weather details. The only devices I could find were self-contained and not "open" with a general purpose output that I could stick into a COM port or similar. There probably were professional level devices available, but I didn't have the links to find them and they were probably really expensive. Maybe there are better choices available now, even ones that can read from a probe stuck into the ground for quake detection. Thinking more locally, what about a set of sensors in every room of the house that monitor temperature, noise levels, humidity, vibrations, light levels, motion , etc. I'd buy a device kit that could do this with a feed I could take into the PC. I'll bet they exist, but are probably specialist solutions which are quite expensive. I'll also bet there are people who build their own kits. The next step of course is to use the real-time information to drive devices in the house like heaters, lights, etc ... I know people are doing this, but I wish the techniques were more accessible.
