Summary Status

Right now, we are gathering information about how we can do this.

Overall goal: Build a sensor network into the core of our space. Track temperature, humidity, light levels, motion, network activity, doors, beverages, etc.

The network will have three main pieces:

1. a central node that all data flows to
2. sensor nodes that collect data around the 'space. The sensor nodes will have a common wireless radio device to communicate back to the central node.
3. a database owned by MMS that stores all data long-term

Once the base solution is in place, Makers will be able to use the specifications to make their own sensors at the 'space. Also, a code library will be made available for people to read data out of the database and create web pages with the data or dump the data into other applications.

• Working central node that collects data from sensor nodes and updates a central database
• At least one working sensor node that actively collects data for one measuring point
• Specification document relating the technical requirements that must exist in a sensor node to work on the network
• Central database with tables required to store data collected

The links below will lead to more details about each of the parts of this solution. We can discuss various solutions and come to an agreement for the version one solution.

(How do I make sub-wiki pages for this project?)
