Arduino Life 2: Getting Geeky in the Garden: Temperature, Humidity and Light Level Sensor [Video] (20:21)

I dive into the Arduino world and learn a lot in my first project, a temperature, humidity and light level sensor for my mini-greenhouse that also reports via SSH iOS notifications and Twitter and logs data to local SD Card and a Google Spreadsheet.

• Greenhouse Temperature, Humidity and Light Level Arduino Project
• Powered by USB power bank
• Arduino Yun connected to breadboard for power and sensor data
• Local WiFi connection via Arduino Yun for data reporting
• Read Temperature and Humidity using blue sensor at top
• Read current light level using photo-resistor and converting to 100 point scale (0-100, with 0 being total darkness)
• Date and Time pulled from Linux side of Arduino Yun
• Data logged to file on internal SD Card on Arduino (can be accessed remotely via SSH)
• Data logged remotely to Google Spreadsheet via IFTTT
• Data tweeted out to @douglaswelch via IFTTT
• Data notified on iPhone via IFTTT
• Currently polling and reporting every 5 minutes
