[Lab] Home Automation

[Sungjune Lee]

Hi Mahdi,

I happen to building a open-source wireless network for use with low end
microcontroller systems such as Arduino. For now, the protocol takes up
around 30K of program memory and 2K of data, which hopefully will be
downsized to fit into Arduino Uno. If successful, it will be using
off-the-shelf IEEE802.15.4 wireless module ($5 - $10) rather than wifi. So
you can build each control/sensor board for around $10. I'll post the
schematic and the source on my blog sometime later in this year.

If you want a ready to use solution then please check this:

Thanks,

Sungjune Lee
