Looks interesting, bookmarked it for later reading :) I noticed that you have sensor in all parts of the house from the images. I wonder how did you solve the wiring issue? I mean I'm looking for a cheap way to connect all sensors, but avoid putting wires everywhere.

Yeah, that's a problem I'm still working on solving.

Initially, I had planned to wire through the basement, but getting through the floor turned out to be a littler more difficult than I had hoped.

At the moment, the wires are run under carpet and behind furniture. I just ordered another Pi (and am looking at cheaper boards) to set up another 'base station' to reduce the amount of wires I need to get full coverage.
