Arduino Sensor Plugin

The Arduino sensor plugin allows you to build your own cheap wireless sensors (<$10) and communicate with them. The plugin automatically creates Vera devices it finds. The Arduino wireless network uses Nordic Semiconductors chip rf2401. See separate pages for how to hook up it to your Arduino.

Installing and using the plugin

From apps.mios.com

Remember to set the serial usb port used by connected Nano board.

From downloaded source

Arduino Receiver Sketch

This sketch should be downloaded to a Arduino Nano which is connected to your Vera using the serial usb cable. Connect the the radio module to your Nano board.

All communication from/to your sensors is transmitted through this device.

It is important to use a Nano board because it uses serial usb chipset recognized directly by Vera (the Uno does not!).
