Hi, I'm Eric,
New to the adafuit community.
I do a haunted house every year, each year has gotten more and more advanced. Animatronic's , Light control, fog f/x etc.. In 2009 i controlled my haunt via computer, but there where a lot of limitations. I want to create a device with the xbee that communicates with a computer and activates a prop (Animatronic). Each prop would have a xbee device that has a PIR sensor, or mat switch, when a person triggers it the xbee will communicate with the other xbee connected to the computer. I want multiple devices but don't know what hardware/ software to purchase. The device with the xbee would only trigger prop's, via relays the props all have there own microcontrollers and electronics that are activated with a dry contact. Any input on this idea would be appreciated.
Thank you all in advance

Re: Xbee Automated haunted house
totally possible BUT watch for range issues. you may want to go with 'PROs if you have a big area and cant get good line-of-sight
