A new place!

We bought a place in Invermere BC. Great spot, beautiful views of mountains, and less than 3 hours away from home!

Now I have a project. The place has 13 old thermostats that run electric baseboard heating. Not hugely efficient, nor easily changed if we forget them to set them to the right temperature after heading home.

I'd like to automate, monitor, and remote control things in this new place.

Enter Arduino.

First job is to get some measurements in there. That is what I am going to do!

That is all for now. This is mostly going to be a place for me to record my experiments, successes and failures.
