[[Image(nano.jpg, align=right, 300px)]] = Arduino Sensor Plugin = The Arduino sensor plugin allows you to build your own cheap wireless sensors (<$10) and communicate with them. For wireless transmissions, Nordic Semiconductors transceiver rf2401 is used. See separate pages for how to hook up it to your Arduino. The plugin automatically creates the sensor devices it finds on the radio network.

[Donload Arduino SDK here|http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software] ArduinoGateway It acts as a link between Vera and your wireless sensors. This sketch should be downloaded to an Arduino Nano which then is connected to your Vera using a usb cable. It is important to use a Nano board for the ArduinoGateway as it contains a serial usb chipset recognized directly by Vera (the Uno does not!). DallasTemperatureSensor This is an example sensor that sends in temperature information and presents it as temperature devices in Vera.
