Ho there
I would like to star an arduino project what I want to do is measure a temperature by each room of my home include kitchen , laundry etc. but I want to make wireless and then get up the information to an open source software to see the information by day week etc.
thanks for your help
what kind of programming/electrical experience do you have?
what do you want to make wireless? do you want a network of individual wireless sensors, or will all the sensors be connected to a single board, that connects to the internet by WiFi?
how many rooms do you have? if you have many you might have to purchase a sensor multiplexer.
what is your budget? this will probably be the biggest factor.
I would recommend you look at Xbees for wireless data transfer.
A cheaper alternative would be to get multiple ds18b20 sensors and if you can, spread them across your house. As the sensor is digital, it can work over long distances. Then you can use a wifi/Ethernet shield to wirelessly monitor the device from you pc/iPhone.
The second option would be to use multiple xbees communicating in a mesh or something.
As xbees are expensive you can look into simple radio modules that may be able to transfer serial data to the arduino
433 Mhz wireless temperature sensor from same company.
