Anybody else dabbling in this area?
I am looking to monitor some stuff around the house such the duty cycle on my well pump, water pressure, air conditioning inlet and outlet temps, pool temp, mains power draw and who knows what else.
The second stage is dumping this into a cloud dashboard.
The third stage is long-term archiving of the data for historical analysis.
I am looking at XBee modules however the initial decision is important because each series only communicates with other modules in the same series. Wifi, 2.4Ghz and 900Mhz are all available but you have to consider distance, power consumption and data rates of each to determine what best fits your project.
Before i jump off into all of the other options i wanted to see if anyone else had looked into it or if i would be talking to myself.
