- Learn how to create your own low cost wireless sensors and connect them to the world.
We call it "Internet of Your Things"
Description
We've combined the Arduino platform with a small radio transceiver into a fun, flexible world of low cost wireless sensors.
All the nitty-gritty details about the sensor communication has been packaged into a convenient software library so you don't have to worry about them.
It is as easy as 1, 2, 3.
- Connect the parts. 2. Download the provided examples. 3. Start measuring and controlling the world!
Read more about how the sensor network is automatically being formed using our Arduino Library on the site. It basically forms a star network and can reach hundred of meters.
In the middle you place an Arduion or Raspberry gateway that collects the information from your sensors.
Design and schematics
We supply a list of easy to follow build instructions for a bunch of different wireless sensors and actuators. Here are some examples:
Distance Sensor, Motion sensor, Relay actuator, Humidity, Light, Pressure, Rain, Temperature, ...
You will find all the build instructions here: http://www.mysensors.org/build/
Conclusion
The project is still in the starting blocks and we hope to provide plugins for a growing list of Home Automation controllers. The first thing on our list right now is to provide a DIY controller that provides a free cloud storage for your sensor data.
