The Radio Shield provides an easy way to enable wireless communication between two or more Arduinos. Additionally the Radioshield has a Childboard connector socket which allows the Radio Shield to be further upgraded with sensors/actuators, e.g. a gas sensor, temperature sensor or a relay switch. A possible application would be temperature monitoring of all rooms of a house/appartment and performing an efficient regulation of the heating based on the measured data. For an quick and easy start, a open source Arduino library with sample programs is available.
