Ardamon

Introduction

Ardamon is an Arduino (or similar device) and PHP-based solution to help you :

  • Retrieve, store and monitor different kind of sensors around the place
  • Take actions based on the sensors values and time of day

This project was designed for building an internet-access thermostat for my home, but it's also used to monitor the temperature and humidity for plants.

Ardamon can handle any type of sensor, as long as the arduino (or similar device) can send a float value to the web server. Temperature, humidity, light, pressure, you name it, Ardamon can handle it !

Requirements

  • A *AMP (Apache, Mysql, PHP server running with Linux, Windows or MacOS) with at least PHP v5.3 and Mysql 5.
  • A network enabled device that can handle the sensors and send a float value to the web server. Although you can use whatever you want, this project will only provide code and examples for Arduinos

Installation & configuration

See the Getting started page.

How it works

Ardamon is easy to use and configure, but there are a few concepts you should be aware of :
