Hi packplantpath, We also found the supply of the Temper1 USB sensor to be lacking. We started developing the software to support the [DHT11 sensor](http://www.seeedstudio.com/wiki/Grove_-_Temperature_and_Humidity_Sensor) that attaches to the [GrovePi](http://www.dexterindustries.com/GrovePi/). It's all pretty experimental at this point but we could get you a download of the Raspberry Pi software to make it work if you are interested. The Android version was just an idea but not one we've had time to implement. There is the [Thermodo sensor](http://shop.thermodo.com/?_ga=1.82258774.198273781.1421023253), which given the right app, could serve your use case pretty well. [Here's a list of some apps that work with Thermodo](http://thermodo.com/software/). Hub could be a candidate but I think it's only for iOS. There is an SDK, so, given enough pizza and soda a developer like me could make an app that does notifications from Android.

> The uniquenes of farmhack is the possibility of community of sharing ínformation and also the possible sale of products: but not the sale of information. The growth of farmhack depends on the availability of free infomation, as a repository. I agree with this. @adolfo Can you point out where you found these links that required payment? A cool project for Farm Hack would be to do nightly migrations from the Wiki to a Git repository on GitHub so that anyone could download the total sum knowledge of the community for free. The key being that the migration would transform the Wiki into a usable offline format like plain HTML or Markdown documents.
