Does your office have a weather system?

I wrote a post a while back when I purchased my iobridge module which you can use to control switched and sensor. After that post I had my module rigged up in my office at home just monitoring the room temperature and ambient light hourly, I wasn’t sure what i could do with this data at the time so using the Google Ajax API I displayed the data using 2 graphs purely as a bit of fun. Now i’ve decided to take it a stage further.

Using a feed from the BBC weather I’ve mashed up the data that i get from the temperature sensor with the weather feed to predict what the ‘weather’ will be like in my office. As a feature for my site (as i spend most of my time in my office) you can see what the weather’s like in my office at anytime by clicking the link in the menu at the top right of any page. We’re approaching winter over here in the UK so the temperature is dropping.

I thought it was a different way of displaying this kind of data by making it a bit fun, and you never know i may extend it in the future to include other aspects. I have a light sensor which is in full operation, which can be seen from the original mash-up here.
