Hi guys,
I've just started out with the BBB, and am basically wanting to use it
initially, to gather data on temperature and humidity both inside and
outside my property (sensor in each room + 1 outside). Obviously there are
going to be quite a few sensors, is it possible to get all these up a
Wiring would be a nightmare. You have maybe a foot on I/O and 3 feet
with bus extenders for I2C. You want wireless sensors of some type.
OR there are X10 modules that do a lot of what you want maybe you can
interface them to a BBB.
Remember you have voltage loss on powering things over long wiring.
Hi,
Yeah indeed. I've just purchased a single sensor for starters to have a
play with, and see how I go. I looked into wireless sensors to begin with,
but there doesn't seem to be any set standard, as I was all for a Ninja
Block using 433mhz, but even they say that no compatibility was guarant
Greetings,
Look into "1-wire" sensors. Then work over hundreds of feet using
telephone wire and simple line drivers/receivers. Many devices available
including temperature, humidity, relays, switch closure, etc.
