Hello everyone,

I am a newbie in IoT and applications of Raspberry Pi.
I am working on a small home automation project which consists of following sensors:

  1. Pressure
  2. Proximity
  3. Temperature
  4. Current
  5. Vibration

I have codes for all the sensors and I can read sensor data when they are connected to RPi GPIO.
But, I want to place these sensors in different rooms (as it’s a small part of home automation).
I don’t understand how to read sensor data on Rpi when they are at different locations.
I have some questions:

  1. Can you suggest me which wifi module should I use for sensors and which for RPi?
  2. Can wifi module transfer sensor data to raspberry pi?
  3. I have all the sensors, RPi and other required equipment except Wifi Module.
    I am able to get sensor data when sensors are directly connected to RPi.
    As per your suggestion, which wifi module should I purchase?
    Will it be compatible with all the sensors?
  4. Do I need Arduino Uno?
    After surfing the internet I came to know about ESP8266 wifi module,
  • Can ESP8266 transfer sensor data to raspberry pi?
  • Does it require to have a mediator like Uno dev board to transfer data?
