    66Arduino is an open source hardware prototype board that have lots of both digital and analog IO pins. There are an enormous amount of different cheap sensors that is compatible with the Arduino hardware.

     11All the components developed and compiled here are Open Source. The Vera plugin was inspired by the excellent rfxtrx plugin. I've also written a Arduino library handling all encoding and communication between Arduino sensors and ArduinoGateway. The Vera plugin part automatically creates newly found sensors in Vera. New sensors nodes will automatically find the closest relay node or gateway  and will also be assigned a unique id from vera. So you basically don't need to do any configuration of new sensors.

     27A sketch is a small program that you download to the Arduino boards. To get started download Arduino SDK here: http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software  
     28 
     29Also make sure to install all Arduino libraries I've created and collected here before trying to build the sensor sketches below.

     32Follow the description below on how to assemble hardware and configure each type of sensor. I've also tried to link all the hardware necessary to build each sensor [from aliexpress.com].  
     33 
     34You can connect more than one sensor to each Arduino. Each Pro Mini Arduino has 13 digital in/out pins and 5 analog dito. The radio uses 5 pins so there are plenty left for connecting sensors. Some of them (humidity and pressure) actually use one pin but give also give temperature information (for free) without using any extra pins. 
     35When connecting several sensors to one Arduino you'll also have to combine the example sketches below. Also keep in mind that it could be challenging to use interrupts (to be able to sleep most of the time) when several sensors fight for attention and some of them wants to report at a interval.

     40Acts as a link between Vera and your wireless sensors.  
     41This is a mandatory sketch that must be downloaded to an Arduino Nano. This nano is then connected to your Vera using a usb cable.   
     42It is important to use a Arduino Nano board for the ArduinoGateway because it contains a serial usb chipset recognized by Vera.  
     43You will also get instructions on how to install the Vera plugin here.

    26 It should be pretty simple to use the library (some more documentation in [[http://code.mios.com/git_public/mios/arduino-sensor.git/blob/HEAD:/VeraArduino/Arduino/libraries/Vera/Sensor.h?js=1|vera.h]]). But here follows the basic usage in your Arduino sketch:
