The local weather station project opening soon in New Delhi is now called SenseStation. Here is what the working prototype looks like:

The casing and the arduino shield design was done with the help of Spruha Electronics, a company in Nagpur (it was started by my father-in-law).

I will be releasing details about the station, the shield and the arduino code in the coming weeks. Meanwhile I will post installation dates and usage instructions (on SMS).

The SenseStation senses:

noise levels
crowd / business of streets
heat index (temperature / humidity) and
CO levels (maybe)

I will be installing the SenseStation in Delhi at the 48C festival next week. The station will provide weather data over SMS and through a pachube feed.

After that I will be developing the platform further.
