Monitoring system design notes

Gateway

This is a hacked gateway router, it has 4 LAN ports + 1 WAN port + Wifi + serial. The 'hack' is that it can store data for at least 24 hours (1 week?) received from the sensors and then upload it.

Broadband = gateway is programmed to upload data hourly
Dialup only = gateway uses modem to upload data on next connect
No Internet = gateway uses modem to dial out daily
