wireless thermostat with ethernet feedback

jessep

Has anyone come across a wireless thermostat with feedback? My client wants to monitor the temperature of her wine cellar on her touch panel (controlling is not important). There is no wire run.

I guess some sort of RF thermostat with a base station with 232 would work also.

Alternatively, is there a simple, small rig anyone can think of (using a WAP in bridge mode or something) to achieve silimar results?

what i'm guessing is that you can indeed use a network thermostat connected to a WAP in bridged mode. But i'm sure there are wireless thermostats, the question is, how far does the signal need to carry?

Do you want to know exactly what the temperature is or if the temperature is with in a certain preffered range? Like below 60 degrees. If simple feedback is what you want then a standard wireless T-stat could suffice. If you want to know if the temperature goes above 60 degree just connect and I/O to C and R and set the T-stat to 60 when the temperature is below 60 you'll have an open circuit between C & R or you could do the similar in cooling mode so that when the Temp goes above 60 the T-stat calls for cooling and closes C to Y.

I believe there are ZIG BEE t-stats or some one else has wireless communicating t-stat. I just can't recall you or where I saw that.


basic wireless t-stat.

It just came to me. This link may not get displayed because it has the other "C" 4 company's name in the url. They use the ZIG BEE t-stats.

You could also explore some of the weather stations that are available. I know I have seen some units that communicate wirelessly with a base station, but I don't have any personal experience with any of them. It's a bit of an overkill, but until the Zigbee offering from AMX is available, it might be easier than trying to communicate with a Zigbee tstat.
