The concept it simple, but very useful. You described all the steps well, included all the pieces. I hope others will be able to make use of it. I've done this the old-school manual way for many years: check temperature inside and outside, and open the windows when it's cooler outside, close them when it's hotter outside. But it depends on natural air movement, which isn't always available, and I don't trust the cats to stay safe... they tend to whack at insects on the window screens I might have to add this idea to my list of winter projects. I might have to add a smoke sensor to the outside sensor though</description></item><item><title /><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/summer-of-green-tech-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/cool-wave---testing-temperature-sensors-for-use-with-the-seeeduino-xiao?CommentId=7088d1a2-e763-43cd-980b-cf82535958f4</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Nov 2023 23:20:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:7088d1a2-e763-43cd-980b-cf82535958f4</guid><dc:creator>ntewinkel</dc:creator><description>Great overview of temperature sensors. Good point about the MicroPython limitations - I didn't even stop to think that this might be an issue. I've been planning to move more to MicroPython, but it might not be a simple thing to do You might also like the BME280 (temp+humidity+pressure) or BMP280 (temp+pressure). They are quite affordable too, and easy to use in Arduino - Adafruit has boards, examples, and libraries. I don't know how well supported they would be for MicroPython. I did find I had to reset the power to them under certain conditions for long-term use, so I power it via a GPIO pin and give it a reboot if it fails to come online for the regular temperature/humidity updates my sensor does.</description></item><item><title /><link>https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/design-challenges/summer-of-green-tech-design-challenge/b/blog/posts/cool-wave---setting-up-the-seeeduino-xiao?CommentId=047814c3-bb2e-412a-96c4-e6176a51aec7</link><pubDate>Mon, 06 Nov 2023 23:07:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:047814c3-bb2e-412a-96c4-e6176a51aec7</guid><dc:creator>ntewinkel</dc:creator><description>This is really good!
