wow, quite a bit to learn - i did not realize all the options for various kit based sensors - arduino, 1-wire, etc. there’s a lot out there.
since this will be my first foray into a homebuilt or custom sensor, i picked up a kit based on the esp8266.
so, i’m probably going to ask some silly questions!
the first thing i’m trying to understand is how do i get the data from the sensor (arduino based esp8266 in this case) to WD.
the PC running WD is not in the same building as where the sensor will be - but I have network (wifi, etc) in both places - both buildings are on my property and about 50 feet from each other.
can i feed the data to a device (PC, or otherwise) where the sensor is and have that talk to WD - or, will WD be able to talk directly to the sensor since they are both network accessible?
thank you.
