[QUOTE="GrainBrain, post: 9279554, member: 187899"] [USER=156006]@Flatlander[/USER] Not 'my' smart sensors. I'm not selling anything :) The technology is there, there are companies making millions selling this to farmers in all kinds of agriculture, all around the world. It does work and give insights, so it's big business, but it doesn't have to be big money! Most of this tech is available without a brand name, and at low costs. It's not off the shelf 'ready to go', but my goal is to understand what people are looking for, so I can possibly create things that farmers can put together themselves from existing technology, or, yes, make a range of sensors that are cost effective and last years, but that don't lock people into any one system. Currently, as any sensors I make (for testing) would all be built on-demand, by my hands, and not mass produced, I can't offer anything that represents good value, the most basic one could be £150, hopefully with enough people, large custom orders can be made for better value. But it's not really about the sensors, it's about using the data they collect effectively. ([I]Erm, so I guess you're being sarcastic, but they do work on 12v, as well as 5v with solar and battery backup. Depends on the type of sensor needed.[/I]) Think of any kind of sensor and it's probably available: - Air and wind - Gas levels - Humidity/ Temp - Moisture/ leaks - Vibration - Location (GPS) - Movement/ ultrasound - pH - Gyro - Light/ UV - Flame - Distance - Energy monitoring Plus there's the kind that tracks, or can identify things through optical recognition e.g. specific livestock, people, or numberplates etc. All of those things are currently available, on their own, it's not something I'm selling. I appreciate people are sceptical, or even adverse, but I'm really only trying to understand if there is any interest whatsoever, or if they want to, help farmers to learn more about the possibilities, without doing a deep dive into the tech.
