I have had a similar need. Need to monitor internal temperature of hay bales that were put up a bit to wet. They heat up and have been known to combust. Before stacking bales for storage, we have to let them cool down. Finding out when it is ready to stack is important here. Don't want to let them out to long. Even a wifi that I could read 10' away would help a lot. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 10 Tips for Better Web Security Learn 10 ways to better secure your business today.
