No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Truly It's not my line of work so I'm not going to start randomly recommending products, I don't think it's fair to talk out my ass hahaha
What I can say however, is the reason I was so bold in my assertion previously, was that I personally do a lot of hobbyist electronics, and wiring up temperature sensors is very simple. It's very much a trivial aspect to basic circuitry, because heat is such an aspect. It's in your most basic things from coffee pots to hair dryers but even down to smaller electronics, bulbs and projectors, everything really in its own way.
And then my father was a highly trained meteorologist with the government of Canada for 43 years and then another 10 of consultancy, they scouted him because he was the 100% in all courses math superstar at his university for his year.
My father taught me a lot about how heat is measured and it's a huge concern in a way that the average weather watcher doesn't understand. It's talked about in Watts per Square Meter. So that could be how much heat a structure may absorb per square meter, or perhaps how much heat is dissipated per second in a certain wind.
That's a major and primary concern of anyone in the agriculture industry, think for example a farmer that holds a barn full of cattle, he absolutely needs to know how much heat that building's going to dissipate so he can plan for heating.
But it doesn't end there, it goes into so many different areas where heat is an issue, and weather is the primary driver of heat transfer.
So I guess in summary, a solution is trivial, I'm not sure if there's an official product, but we're not talking rocket science! Edit: I guess in a way it's pretty cool and it's pretty complicated, but the thinkings has all been done by people smarter than me I'm just saying it can be put together and lots of people probably do this every day.
Edit2: I guess also my brother-in-law was a graduate of 4-year electronics program and he ended up working at our local eh price where he designed some forms of heating control systems but to what degree I know not. We talked a bit about some of the egghead stuff so I think in summary it's doable.
