WiFi Car Sentry

This uses DeepSleep mode to wake up on an interval and send data to another computer or server.  Data includes car battery voltage, temperature/rh, a +12V signal, and a negative/sink.  2 sink outputs.  There's a pad for the wake pin (sink), which could probably be connected to the alarm.  The serial may also be used later for expansion.

A curious wireless data acquisition project.

A USB break-out-board is used to monitor RF transmitters (around $2-$3 for these TX/RX pairs), along with a 4 digit display doing the same.

Sensor boards transmit a unique ID plus data and checksum periodically or when triggered, and can run off 3-12V.  Coin cells, AA, N cell.  Range appears to be 30m at 3V to 600m at 12V.  12 months on a single 14500, except for the ultrasound device.

The ultrasound unit was made to detect vehicles.  Temp/humidity is used next to the HVAC thermostat.  Reed switch on garage door.  3 CDS cell on 3 lights on HVAC.  Doorbell.

Anything can be transmitted.  Digital logic such as switches, potentiometers/voltage levels (analog) have been tested.  Other sensors with SDA interfaces can be used.  PIR, IR, Hall effect, pressure sensor, gas, smoke, etc.
