Ok,
So I have been searching and reading and getting a better understanding on the whole Arduino process, my problem is I cant for the life of me figure out how it all fits together.
I would like to start with a basic question then from there I am sure I will have more.
1) Do I need to have an arduino board for each device that I build? My idea here is wireless temp/humidity sensors. Wireless soil moisture sensors. Wireless vibration sensors. Wireless distance sensors, ect. Really leaning towards the wireless side of things. I would like to tie all these various devices back into homeseer.
My ramblings would think that an Arduino board (eg. UNO) would be integrated with an RF unit and attached to the PC via USB. A second uno would be integrated with a vibration sensor, RF unit, battery unit and could be placed remotely. The vibration sensor would then communicate back to the main UNO which would communicate with the Ardiuno plugin and finally integrated into homeseer.
Am I lost in my thinking? Thanks for any suggestions and corrections!
