Final hardware choices, topology and construction is still in flux (as of 8/18/2016). Here's the general idea:

Central Server

Function: Collects input from multiple sensor nodes (see below). Utilizes internet connection to harvest current conditions and forecast data from NOAA. Records data collected from local sensor nodes and possibly NOAA data into a central database (most likely MySQL running on the Pi). Use Apache and a web app to serve up user-friendly web pages so that any HTTP-capable device connected to the home network can easily access the information collected by the server.

###Details: SBC: Raspberry Pi (version TBD)

**Add-Ons:** ESP8266 WiFi

Sensor Node

Function: Collects temperature and humidity information from a given position in, or near, the house. Wirelessly transmits the data to the central server. Exterior node(s) may also measure and transmit barmetric pressure, wind speed/direction, or other conditions. Nodes will be strategically placed in and around the house and need to be discrete and out of harm's way.

###Details: SBC: Arduino Nano
