I see that the Xbee is paired with Arduino and the like. Since it has its own I/O, can't it operate on its own as an input devise.
All I want to do is read when a few switches close and send to something like Google cloud so I can chart them.

Re: XBee I/O
Totally, yeah. Look up Digital I/O Line Passing in the XBee datasheet. There's a little info here:

This is -really- fussy to set up right. Two of the pins don't have internal pull-up resistors available, and certain configuration bitmasks aren't in the same order as the pin numbers. When it works, it's pretty magical. When it doesn't, it's a bag of hurt.

Re: XBee I/O
So what would be the best sollution. A couple of other solutions I was looking at:

I was also looking at Sparkcore. https://www.spark.io/dev-kits

Re: XBee I/O
If you want multiple end devices sending data then multiple xbee-wifi modules will require a wireless AP - unless you pair them but that does not sound like your use case..rkonnen wrote:So what would be the best sollution. A couple of other solutions I was looking at:

If you are not operating in a WLAN then you could use the RF XBees.
