Arduino and Vera

Here is a link to a very good and easy to understand web page http://code.mios.com/trac/mios_arduino-sensor/wiki that describes more or less exactly step by step how to build the following devices for your MiCasa Verde Z-wave Home automation system togheter with Arduino. So if you are into Vera and Z-wave but still need some help with Arduino this the place to start. Winter is still long and cold and there is time for more projects!

By combining the Micaseverde Vera an Arduion Gateway and sensors you can add each sensor for somewhere between 10-20$, A lot cheaper than the price for similar Z-wave devices and you also get the great feeling of building something yourself thanks to Mr Ekblad's excellent descriptions!

Sensors
