Door sensor with wifi

[bjacobse]

Typically wifi consumes considerable energy for handshake so use wifi on battery isn't the greatest idea. but using it with mains power is quite good

If you want to use battery operated devices, you must use a better protocol than wifi

A door sensor might not get that many actuations though, so depending on how often the door is opened/closed, even wifi might get pretty good battery life.

@yveaux Thank You very much I will look into it.

With battery powered sleeping wifi device will be always delay after door switch sensor action and message sending.
Find AP, connect to it etc.
Couple od seconds.
Maybe good for alarm, but not for switch light.

Yes, good battery life time, but not good response time.
You open the door and receive message about it after couple of seconds.
With Arduino and rfm69 or NRF24 it is much better.

I have LSC Smart door sensor, it works great. Now I can't imagine my life without smart technologies.
