 A good start kit for building 9 sensors and one Vera gateway could consist of the following components. This is pretty
-much the list of stuff I bought when building my sensors and you can probably find the parts cheaper from other sellers.

 1x Arduino Nano (and USB-cable) for the gateway\\

+Buy Arduino Nanos for the sensors as well if you don't like to solder. If you are up for a challenge and want the cheapest possible sensor buy the following 3 parts instead. 
+
+------------------------------------------------------- 
 10x Arduino Pro Mini for the sensors (2 lots = 10 pcs)\\

+
+Power regulators for connecting radio module to Arduino Pro Mini (which lacks 3.3v output). Choose one of them.\\
+
+The following regulators were really cheap but extremely small and is hard to solder for a beginner\\
+100x SOT23\\

+Slightly larger (and more expensive) regulators but with real legs that is easier to solder.\\
