Wireless temperature sensors for each room that...

If my family lived in the hallway all of the time, we would be quite comfortable. But we all live in the various rooms of the house. We live in the Central Valley of California. We have completely cloudless days for 9 months out of the year. So those rooms of the house being hit by direct sunlight are warmer than other rooms; and that changes throughout the day. What is needed are: Like most people, I only have 1 zone in my home. The motion sensors (#2) will also allow the NEST thermostat to learn our patterns throughout the day of which rooms are occupied at what times of the day. Likewise, one (or more) of these wireless sensors could plug into a standard outdoor 120VAC outlet, thus providing the outside temperature to the Nest also.

Calibration notes: As usual Vizio's Movie mode provided the best picture settings without any adjustment, although it was quite dim in our dark room with in its default "Medium" ambient light sensor setting (16 fL) and still a bit too dim when I disabled the sensor (32 fL). My calibration improved nearly all of these issues. ---Picture settings menu---Picture Mode: MovieBacklight: 53Brightness: 50Contrast: 75Color: 51Tint: 0Sharpness: 0.

KickStarter Projects. Raspberry Pi. Unleash Your Router. How to Supercharge Your Router with DD-WRT. Verizon FIOS setup Walkaround with Coax cable (MoCA) From DD-WRT Wiki Blazian (05/04/09) This is a walkaround for Verizon Fios setup if you already have Fios installed with an Actiontec Router MI424WR (AT) connected by coax cable (MoCA). 1.- First thing you should do is go into the AT setup by the router's IP usually 192.168.1.1 .

Enter the or your Username and Password (defaults: admin and password/password1). 2.- Turn off the wireless by going to Wireless Settings, then Basic Security Settings turning wireless Off then hit Apply. 3.- Now configure your dd-wrt router into AP mode and change the IP address from 192.168.1.1 to for example: 192.168.0.1 . 4.- Now take another ethernet cable and plug it into a WAN port from the dd-wrt router to a LAN port on the AT. 5.- Last power both routers on, the AT first and then the dd-wrt router. NOTE: You should have your WAN Connection type to Automatic Configuration-DHCP on the dd-wrt router. If you want or have Verizon Fios with Ethernet instead of coax cable (MoCA) connected read this Tutorial, With Verizon FIOS TV Service??!! As a former U-Verse customer I feel your pain.

with Verizon FIOS TV Service??!!

I had the exact same problem. Here is what you can do. Turn the FIOS WiFi off and change its subnet to something else, 192.168.2.1 for example. Plug your DD-WRT router's WAN port into one of the Ethernet ports on the FIOS router (DD-WRT will be in routing mode, not AP mode, might want to factory reset to be sure). Assign DD-WRT's WAN port a static IP address, like 192.168.2.2, gateway should be 192.168.2.1 and DNS whatever you want (probably 192.168.2.1).

Set the DD-WRT's LAN ip address up as 192.168.1.1 and all the other settings you prefer. Super price on Infratech 14-1000 at ToolTopia.com.
