Wireless Sensor Posts Data Directly To Twitter (Video)
UC Technology Corp. based in Japan has unveiled a new line of
wireless Tsubuyaku Sensors that can send data ranging from temperature,
humidity, illuminance, or radiation levels directly to a Twitter
account.
The Tsubuyaku Sensor as it has been named has been mainly designed
for use in factories, food warehouses and wine cellars, and enables uses
to easily remotely check the status of the sensors via Twitter. Watch
the video after the jump to see it in action.
UC Technology Corp explains:
"This wasn’t planned at first, but we’ve made a unit that can be
connected to a commercially available radiation meter. This enables the
Tweeting Sensor to post radiation data to Twitter. If lots of people
post their readings, it would be possible to create a detailed radiation
map.
The connection range is about 40 m, but if you want to make
measurements even further away, there’s a relay unit as well. That’s
used by plugging it into a wall socket and it extends the range to 60
m.”
