Hello,

We are working on EPICS integration of some Tinkerforge devices
(https://www.tinkerforge.com/en/) that we intend to use for pem monitoring
in our labs. There is a large range of so-called bricklets available, a
couple of them supporting humidity and temperature measurements. A direct
ethernet connection is available (PoE if you want), communication is
possible via StreamDevice. The whole project is very open (both in
software and in hardware).
