Temperature and Humidity Controller

After exploring many options of temperature and humidity controller, I decided to use the local made one for ease of maintenance and spare parts. This controller has an option to add up to 5 sensors. Each sensor can read both temperature and humidity and show the maximum 10 readings (for 5 sensors) on its screen in sequence. I then can put a CCTV camera infront of this screen so that I can read my bh's micro conditions 7/24 from anywhere with my cell phone.

So far I bought a set with only two sensors, each with 30 meter length cord. I will add more if feel needed later. Each sensor line can be extended up to 100 meter, and each can be used to control fan or humidifier independently at the required temperature or humidity settings.

More built-in feature is that it is also a data logger in itself when you plug into a computer. My friend also used this model for more than 5 months now without any problems.

In this picture, it showed 2 readings, temp and humidity from the second sensor shown as r2 on the top left corner. Within seconds, it will change to temp and humidity readings from the first sensor or r1, and then switch back and forth.There are only two sensors for two floors on this one.

Every things are bought and ready to be installed except the construction's still not completed, delayed by the monsoon. :(
