Monitoring temperature using an ethernet based T3511 module from Comet
+ Check Temperature

toc

++ Introduction

This module will check the temperature reading from a T3511 device from Comet.

++ The device

The T3511 device from Comet read the temperature and relative humidity in the air surrounding the measuring probe.

++ The module

The module itself will download a web page from the temperature device using _wget_.

The web page is parsed for the temperature reading, which is then compared to the threasholds sent to the module.

More information on this environmental monitoring device can be found here:
