he idea of having things connected to the internet is that it streamlines data-logging (you don't have to physically remove any memory sticks) and now the user can observe and control the network in real-time from anywhere with internet connection.
What's also nice is that once you have the basic framework down (ie: XBee Coordinator –> Arduino –> Internet), you can start adding more nodes with different functions which many people suggested this weekend:
- monitoring refrigeration
- monitoring wash stations
- monitoring and alarms of movement in fields
- automating chicken feed
- weather stations
- monitoring energy use
- electric fence node
Since you mentioned this my current campaign is about Magnetic card readers and it maybe attached to anything and can be controlled via internet. Try reading this as it may be a good resource for the your ideas https://www.lintechtt.com/blog/.
