Hi,
I have CO detector in my kitchen with relay output. In case of alarm, I have to transfer this information to my central linux computer. I'm really amateur regarding electronics.. So the question is, how can I do it wirelessly, 2 possibilities
1) relay -> some device -> wifi -> computer
2) relay -> some device -> some low frequency -> receiver near computer -> ethernet -> computer
Requirements:
- reliability
- some kind of kit is preferred - I'm too old for soldering big DIY solutions
- simple
I know I can do it with something more complex (raspberry) but I would be interested in other easier solutions, as I am going to have more of these kinds of scenario in my appartment in future. Thanks.
Martin
EDIT: May I use something like this - http://www.arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Pushbutton ? Does arduino have wifi modules?
