I love the idea, but conceptual and economically, I find the idea of using one sensor in a multisensor device on a long term basis problematic. I'd prefer a modular system where I can provide a wifi base module with specific sensors as required through plugin parts.
Lovely project in any case.
- ErrantX 15y agoIt's always been in the back of my mind to try and put something like that together. Arduino + ZigBee + modular wireless sensors, or something like that.

- mseebach 15y agoIt feels wrong, I agree, but the individual sensors are dirt cheap. From poking around on farnell.com, it seems likely that the total bulk value of the sensors is probably south of a few dollars per unit, which is much, much cheaper than introducing the complexity and brittleness of modularity.
- acgourley 15y agoyeah the sensors are basically free, it's the wifi radio / board thats the single most expensive piece on that. Might be more than the rest combined.
