Münster's local bathing lake for the masses is the local canal, "Dortmund-Ems Kanal". Excellent water quality & very popular

Looking for a project that fills a void - @todendah suggested: "I want to know whether it's too cold!". So that became our first project deployed in the wild.

Starting today we have deployed a solar powered temperature sensor at Stadthafen 2. We are really curious how long it will last. :-)

The sensor is autonomous (solar) and _very_ close to water so we are not yet convinced that it will last. The river police however speculated that it will get nicked first. :-)

The data is delivered to
