I have a lot of similar ideas. The one constant problem I keep running into is the amount of work it would be to get power to all those devices. I'd absolutely love if it were possible to power + network all the devices via PoE, but those adapters are so expensive. If anyone knows of a good Pi-like board that runs off PoE out of the box, let me know.

Yeah you always need some cables if you don't want to change batteries all the time, and wifi is convenient but its better to use wired. I think there are 2 options, 1 you run everything on the network. 2 you use PI's io to directly control/sense. The power either comes from pi, poe or a separate adapter (either at pi running with other wires or near radiator)
