Hi guys!
Thinking about creating a project where i track motion in several rooms and send the information wirelessly through the network. The motion sensors should be small, preferably running on batteries. Here is a small sketch of how i imagine it would work: SKETCH
Sensor 1 and 3 sense motion and send information containing which motion sensor is sensing and if there is any motion there through wifi, so i can read it on a tablet, phone or laptop.
I have been reading a bit about the arduino uno + wifi shield, and some pir-sensors. But i was wondering if that is the correct way to go? Or is there a simpler method of reaching the same goal.
The sensors can also transmit to a single receiver which then relays the information through wifi.
Glad for any help, tips or guidance that I can get.
Although you could build this using Arduino's and wireless shields, getting it to run for any length of time on batteries is going to be challenging
Personally, I'd look at a different microprocessor with built in Wifi e.g. something like the ESP8266 (Or the products from Spark ( https://www.spark.io/ )
However be aware that most other devices, like the ESP8266, are harder to program than the Arduino - but the Spark stuff is fairly easy.
Motion sensors and automation are completely new areas for me, so i think that hacking together a receiver for a wireless home security system might be tricky. Spark looks promising though, so i will definetly check that out!
