We have just published a new article Publish Temperature Sensor Readings to Twitter with Raspberry Pi to the REUK.co.uk website which includes full details on how to get sensor measurements from a Raspberry Pi up to the internet for remote viewing.

We will soon be returning to this to look at how batteries can be monitored, solar generation can be monitored, and many other similar projects.

We will then be showing how devices can be controlled from Twitter – for example, you could turn on your immersion heater element with a Twitter message if your Twitter feed tells you that your water tank is cold and you are on the way home and would like a hot bath.
