-Telegraph is a multi-purpose tool which provides sensor processing, data gathering, web graphing and status reporting. It is designed specfically for the Raspberry Pi and uses cheap and easily obtained sensor devices. An example device is the BME280 which can provide readings of ambient temperature, barometric pressure and relative humidity. BME280 boards can cost as little as 99p.+Telegraph is a multi-purpose tool which provides sensor processing, data gathering, web graphing and status reporting. It is designed specfically for the Raspberry Pi and uses cheap and easily obtained sensor devices. An example device is the BME280 which can provide readings of ambient temperature, barometric pressure and relative humidity. BME280 boards can cost as little as £2.50.
  
 Telegraph sensor processes are Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) daemon extensions which read data from various devices on a Raspberry or similar personal computer. The values returned can be used to populate a round robin (RRD) or SQL database either with Telegraph or a tool of your own choice. Telegraph sensor processes are Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP) daemon extensions which read data from various devices on a Raspberry or similar personal computer.
