+## Status
+
+The system was finally put online on 7 April 2013, controlling a 750 watt
+heater and through-wall fan with automatic louvers.  The temperature thresholds
+are set to 7 and 32 C, below which the heater is on and above which the fan
+is on.  
+
+## Future Plans
+
+We're not using the 128k EEPROM part any more.  Instead, the plan is to add
+a [TeleShield](http://altusmetrum.org/TeleShield/) board to the stack which
+gives us a micro SD card for massive data storage, and an 
+[Altus Metrum](http://altsumetrum.org) standard UHF radio link that will
+make it possible to check on the status of the greenhouse from the main house.
