I am having trouble deciding which direction to go or which software / firmware to combine since its changing rapidly and a fair number of tutorials are around but all have different approaches and end goals. Some sensors are connected to esp8266 boards directly, others communicate via serial and will employ an 8266 to provide wifi. Pretty standard stuff for the home automation people etc. I wish to connect many (read: 20+) different sensors to a local wifi network and have them all datalogged and controlled by a single server on the network. Sorry for the vagueness in my question, I am just looking for ideas to point me in the correct direction please.
