WHO USED ALL THE HOT WATER!!! Need a simple temperature data logger ** UPDATE **

<< < (15/20) > >>

BrokenYugo:
Might be easier to just monitor humidity in the bathroom. I would think whoever makes the longest RH spikes should be the heaviest hot water user, and you can do that with cheap home weather station type stuff.

AndyBeez:
Love that Arduino shower sensor. Would scare the crap out of the 'technical experts' at the CIA - as it could bare more than a passing resemblance to a detonator connected to a highly sophisticated Chinese circuitboard. Are the bare battery leads almost touching?

As this is an electronics forum, I will avoid making any legal arguments over targeted surveillance, data gathering and possible discrimination or harassment of an individual who has no Idea that they are the indirect subject of the 'current flow' of discussion.

Brumby:

That would definitely freak a couple of people...

... and it did make me smile.

Nice idea, but some use the exhaust fan - and some don't.

Oh, they know.  They are just champions of bullshit - I mean, world class.

As for discrimination, it is no more discriminating than someone being called on taking two portions of lasagna where n have been prepared for n people.  As I see it, discrimination is only an issue when the differentiation is based on invalid criteria.

Besides, I have a strong feeling that the problematic behaviour might change when the household is informed that hot water usage is being tracked.
