It's been a while since something has motivated Herbert to share a new gadget with whichever faithful readers still are out there. While occupying new space at Herbert's J-O-B, there's some debate about the acceptability of the temperature in the new open work environment.

Combined with an insatiable desired to acquire and play with new gadget, Herbert found himself with the best excuse to acquire Wireless Sensor Tags and a Tag Manager from CAO Gadgets LLC. Despite the ridiculous number of domains our provider uses, this referral is directly from the guy who makes these.

Despite being apparently a lean shop, there's some real richness behind the infrastructure supporting this hardware. Herbert started with 5 sensors and an ethernet tag manager.

Basically, you unpack, unplug and register your devices through an account at http://mytaglist.com and you are off an collecting temperature, humidity, moisture and motion. Not to mention you can configure the motion detection to track door open/close state (for regular doors as well as garage doors). Beyond that events can be configured when tags leave and return from range of the tag manager which can be used for "geofencing" activities.

"Activities?" our readers ask. Not only can you track, log and chart all the readings from the sensors over time (on a 30s,1M,5M, 10M, 30M, 1H, 1D frequency), but you can trigger events either with IFTTT or with KumoApps. While IFTTT is likely familiar to Herbert's readers. KumoApps are basically hosted JavaScript event scripts that can make a wide variety of home automation possible "in the cloud."
