Arduino environmental monitoring

Hi everyone!

Is there anyone using microcontroller-based systems to monitor environmental conditions on its land/homestead?

Since a couple of years I've spent some time in building simple modular dataloggers using Arduino clones, to monitor temperature, pressure, relative humidity, radiation level, wind speed and rain amounts.

This gave me some interesting insights and I think is much cheaper and funnier than buying a commercial meteo station and the systems can be customized to adapt them to any specific situation.

I'm also happy to share projects if anyone Is interested.

Have a nice day!

According to what Mr Google told me are microcontroller-based systems to monitor environmental conditions.

Our household uses several of these.

We have a thermostat that controls the temperature of our home.

We have Wifi.

I am not sure this is what you are wanting folks to reply with.

I’ve played with the idea, but not much more than doodling and googling.

I want a data logger/environmental controller for my off grid house/greenhouse that typical hvac controls can’t handle. Humidity control, integrated shade cloth and ridge vent control. Plus some level of predictive algorithm.  Open the vents sooner if it’s sunny, close them sooner at night if the forecast is colder, etc.

Yeah, I mean systems used to take and save meteorological data and other related measurements, so they are not related to domotics but are devoted to actively monitoring these quantities on some piece of land.

They can be also easily used to control some actuators, for example to vent greenhouses, start irrigation automatically and so on, even thought I've not any direct experience about this last aspect.

This can be done to get useful patterns about climate on out land or any place of interest, and data can be collected and organized to any purposes, for example to identify the last expected frost date, rain amount during some period of the year etc.

For example, I realized this way that heavy rainfalls produce a rise in background radiation at ground level, due to radon decomposition byproducts brought down to the ground by rain itself.

This kind of systems are very cheap and easy to realize (I'm using Arduino clones to realize them) so I was wandering if someone else Is using them and which solutions have bene applied, to compare with my experience and maybe learn some different approach

Thank you, let me know!
