Create Client Server Application

Projects General Guidance

Hi,

This is my first post here, and I could not find the right answers around, so please excuse me for the "bad" questions.

I'm working on my father's farm and I would like to create Arduino client-server automation.
The main idea is to use several Arduinos as remote sensors that will check the temperature, light and humidity and report to the server (PC machine). In the future I probably extend the functionality but this is the basic things.

As far as programming the whole thing - I have no problem, but I need some assistance to understand how to properly build the system.
My questions:

  1. Which Arduino should I purchase for the client?
  2. Is there reference points for best practices to developer this kind of system?

Thank you very much.

Best start with a UNO or mega and a w5100 based ethernet shield. Lots of stuff posted in this forum (especially in the home automation, robotics, and networking topic areas).

Hi roishabtai,

Have a look here Raspberry Pi + Arduino = Domotica asequible iv - YouTube It's in Spanish but not dificult to cope the idea. If it is a farm you will need to communicate wirelessly....here is a good option: http://www.puigros.com/inicio/electronica/inalambrica/wifi-2-uart-detail.html
