Hardware and software requirements

First, let's see what the required components are for this project.

We'll of course use an Arduino Uno as the brain of the project. For Wi-Fi connectivity, we are going to use a CC3000 breakout board from Adafruit:

We'll also use a bunch of sensors to illustrate the behavior of the project: a DHT11 sensor for temperature and humidity, a photocell for light levels, and a motion sensor.

Finally, here is a list of all the components that we will use in this project:
