    8 Before downloading the sketch to the Arduino you need to select a unique RADIO_ID (see top of sketch source code). The RADIO_ID must be unique in your radio network and is also used on the Vera side to distinguish between different sensors.  
    9 After updating RADIO_ID and downloading the code you should be ready to go. 
    108This sensor sleeps most of the time. If interrupt on digital input occurs it wakes up and transmits change.

    26 This is the stuff you need to purchase to build the SoilMoistSensor. Note that I've provided links to the things I bought during the development. You might find it cheaper somewhere else. Also note that you might need to buy like 10x of some items to get the price specified.

    40 (You might later need some housing and transformer or battery compartment as well) 
    41  
    42 TOTAL SENSOR PRICE: $3,99 + $0.93 + $0,6 + $2.94 = $8,46 
    43  
    44 To download code to the cheapest Arduino Nano sensors (that is missing the serial USB port) you need to buy one of following as well. It is only attached while downloading code and can be reused between sensors. 
    45  
    46 1x Serial to USB adapter to download code to cheap Arduino Nanos\\
