Even as the API contest came to a close, the contest entries are still being posted due to the sheer volume. Today’s entry is about a program called Inthrma. Unlike many of the other programs using the WeatherBug API however, Inthrma steps out of the role of the traditional program and actually has the ability work for you in the real world.

With the assistance of the Proliphix Thermostat, Inthrma uses PHP to allow its users to review real time generated graphs, heating/cooling trends and a comparison of inside/outside weather. To enjoy the benefits of Inthrma you do need to make sure that your Proliphix Thermostat has connectivity to the Internet. Along with a good Internet connection, you will also need to make sure you have access to a static IP address. That said however, using a service like DynDNS works too.

If you would like to try out Inthrma for yourself, have access to a Proliphix Thermostat, you can sign up for an account from this link.
