Please pardon our ignorance when it comes to matters electronic. We hope this forum can point us in the right direction. We are programmers (Java mainly) who need to create hardware to detect an entry through a doorway by a person(s). Additionally, we need this to be wireless, and have it register something, (via an IP address on our network perhaps) on a realtime basis. Essentially, all we want to do is pick up that someone has entered a dooray on our network, and we can take it via software from there.
We purchased Sun Microsystem's Sun Spot Development kit, but frankly that does not have the kind of sensor we need (though, they tell us it can accomodate an IR sensor....somehow!). Ideally, we are hoping someone on this forum can tell us to buy this, that and the other thing, hook them up as so, and voila.....you'll see this packet sent to this IP address on that network. And shy of that -- any other direction you can give us would be more than appreciated. - A couple of crackerjack coders, ignorant of hardware & electronics!
