I am currently running an AWS Hum/Temp Sensor to keep track of my metrics that I need to maintain in our grow room. I am looking to expand to more sensors and I was wondering what I would need to effectively plan before buying multiple sensors and connecting them to the local network.
If I am running several sensors should I also purchase a AWS Gateway? In addition to the AWS Hum/Temp Sensors, we are also looking at purchasing a PH meter for our tanks. If I purchase multiple Hum/Temp Sensors and an additional PH sensor should I plan on getting an AWS Gateway? How should I setup the IoT topics on AWS? I want to maintain the current amount of hourly checks that are performed on each sensor.
Hi James,
To future proof the setup and give you more flexibility and capability I would recommend the IoT Edge Computer here which can do everything the AWS Gateway can plus a whole lot more:
The IoT Edge Computer has a long range wireless interface which allows it to receive sensor telemetry transmissions from our extensive line of Enterprise series products here:

The IoT Edge Computer runs Node-Red on board which will allow you to do Edge computing, local data logging, and report the data to any Cloud you want(including AWS).
Please take a look and let us know if you have any questions at all.
Thank you,
