Hi,
Interesting question. J,
But, the xbow.com MOTE prices are less then anywhere else and with more sensors and sensor network products.
I think this area is in the stage of research yet, not suitable for making market products. The motes are big in the size, expensive in the price, but I believe in the future the price of those simple motes will be $1.
And also that language nesC and TinyOS are very new, open source, and with no completed tutorials. And it is a little bit difficult for me to go on fast in my goals.
These motes are experimental platform to make and test some algorithms or some ideas of sensor network for certain application like your.
If you can find some funding to support you for research in Sensor Networks, you will see it is interesting and fun.
But, I think, to make market product with all available motes in the market on this time (not only in xbow.com) is a little bit early.
As I said before, such products already exist :
Take a look at the Sylvania products (www.smarthome.com/1129.html).
and are correctly priced (between $30 and $40 for a module [radio included] and $60 for the PC interface).
Ok, the modules about which I'm talking about (Sylvania) are only switch modules but I think next generation will be
equipped with sensors.
