This page now has little to do with our fridge. The title refers to the fact that when I started playing with power monitoring I used our fridge as the test case. What follows is acually a disorganized assortment of environmental and power monitoring. These plots are mainly tests and experiments for my own entertainment. There is nothing here that is likely to enthrall you.
Power (Watts)
The system is still in testing so, what is being logged to each channel can change. As of writing this I have the house
air circulation fan, the fridge and a combined total for one side of the supply.

Two DS18B20 thermometers. They tend to move around a bit depending what I am playing with. They have been in the fridge, the freezer and Kimberly's closet, but at time of writing (Dec 2015) are one each in the garage and the 'brew cupboard'.
Six AM2302 electronic hygrometers in my prototype calibration vessel. These devices are factory calibrated with no easy way for the user to
modify the internal calibration. We can however compare the factory calbrations to see how consistent they are and apply
a rescaling in software to fine tune the output numbers if we wish. First impressions are that though there are
measurable differences, these extremely cheap devices are impressively linear and consistent for the price.
(An incomplete write-up of this experiment.)
Prototype radon monitor. Not stable. Expect this to come and go as it gets tinkered with.
