Multiple sensor monitoring

Using Arduino Project Guidance
1

Hi,

I start investigate if my Project is possible create with Arduino board, shield and sensors.

I want to create next kind of monitoring system:

Multiple different sensors which connecting to the main board with wireless connection -> those will give input information and those input information shoud send to the cloud with GSM. Sensors should be example temporary, rain, pipe wiggling (how this will possible do) and wire tension (how this will possible create).

Can i use some of arduino "motherboard" where i can add to the input wifi and to the out GSM?

I hope that i tell all necessaries information, but if need more, please ask and i try get or find what needed.

Yes, that is what Arduino is very much about. You stack the various shields for these purposes. Your real problem is how you get the data from the sensors to that central Arduino. This may involve other Arduinos.

You have not said how far each sensor will be from the main (or master) Arduino.

If the range is suitable NFR24 2.4GHz wireless will probably be the simplest way to connect the master Arduino to the slave Arduinos that have the sensors attached.

The master could then have a WiFi shield or a cheaper ESP8266 module to send data to the web.

There are other options.

I cannot say yet how far those sensor will be from main arduino, but i think that farest is max 30meters.

What is correct main arduino where i should start create this kind of combination?
Uno or some other? or should i use some of sparkfun products?

I mean that what is best arduino "main board" where I should start my Project?

Since you ask the question, and there is not much certain about what you want, get a Mega. It offers more memory and more serial ports.
