Monitoring Temp and Humidty of my Humidor - those the right parts ?

Hi,

I stumbled onto you guys for I want to monitor those two things, temperature and humidity of my Humidor. I want to see a graph (locally is fine) and it would be perfect if I could get an email for example if humidity is too low.

Now I have put two things in my Basket, if you guys could tell me if with that Hardware I can archieve what i want. preferably without too much hassle :-)

 

emonTH - Temperature & Humidity Node
Case:     emonT​H Cas​e
Senso​r:     DTH22​ - Te​mpera​ture ​& Hum​dity
Radio​:     868Mh​z RFM​12B (​Europ​e Onl​y)

AND

 

emonBase - Raspberry Pi web-connected base-station
Raspb​erryP​i RF ​add-o​n:     RFM12​Pi - ​868MH​z
Raspb​erry ​Pi:     Raspb​erry ​Pi Mo​del B​+
Pre-b​uild ​SD Ca​rd:     Pre-L​oaded​ micr​oSD C​ard
Enclo​sure:     Raspb​erry ​Pi Mo​del B​+ Cas​e

Is that what I need ? I work with linux since 1993 and have another raspberry for XBMC, but im totally new to this monitoring/sensors stuff.

 

Thanks alot for helping !

If all you want to measure is the temperature and humidity then that should work. 

The monitor is just a daemon process that records the data from the module(s) - temp/humidity. You can have more than one monitor - theres a limit of 32 i think.

Majority of people here are tracking their electricity use - with http://shop.openenergymonitor.com/emontx-v3-electricity-monitoring-transmitter-unit/ 

All the data gets dumped into various databases (in memory / file / mysql) depending on the data type(s)

give it 10 mins and you'll know it all ;-)
