Greetings,
Look into "1-wire" sensors. Then work over hundreds of feet using
telephone wire and simple line drivers/receivers. Many devices available
including temperature, humidity, relays, switch closure, etc.

Wiring would be a nightmare. You have maybe a foot on I/O and 3 feet
with bus extenders for I2C. You want wireless sensors of some type.
OR there are X10 modules that do a lot of what you want maybe you can
interface them to a BBB.
Remember you have voltage loss on powering things over long wiring.

Hi guys,
I've just started out with the BBB, and am basically wanting to use it
initially, to gather data on temperature and humidity both inside and
outside my property (sensor in each room + 1 outside). Obviously there
are going to be quite a few sensors, is it possible to get all these
up and running at the same time? I know there are lots of GPIO
connectors on the BBB, but only a few voltage connectors, how do I go
about splitting these?
Also, would it be possible to wire up the sensors using alarm cable?
They will be quite far from the controller in some instances.
Regards
Mike
