Yes, that Ward Cunningham) to hang out, and discovered Ward's treasure trove of electronics, software, soldering guns and web accessible sensor arrays that run 24/7/365. Ever wish you had a real cool uncle that didn't take you fishing, but instead showed you how to create your own multi-processor computer with $2 chips off the shelf? Let's step into Uncle Ward's basement. en Sat, 18 May 2013 18:33:46 GMT Sat, 18 May 2013 18:33:46 GMT Rev9 Re: Hanselminutes on 9 - Gadget Basement with Ward Cunningham A commercial product which collected all this sensor data for a home security system would be awesome. A natural role for home server. A person with a protection order could monitor for the entry of the evil doer into their space. Or a surveillance system in your garden which would detect the presence of dear and do whatever it takes to keep them from eating your vegetables.

On the personal measurement front, are there detectors that can hear heart beats and respiration in the vicinity? No doubt you can measure weight when a person steps on a door mat that contains pressure sensors. An ultimate nerd moment would be when your sound detection and analysis system sends an alert to the server warning that the person at a specific location is suffering from congestive heart failure.

I've wanted to set up an array of temperature sensors myself both external and in each room.

I didn't catch. Were all those sensors hard-wired from the windows to the board?

This would be kinda fun to play with at home.

Checked out http://netduino.com/ looks cool
