I'm planning on building a circuit to monitor the water level in a reserve tank in my house. The circuit for measuring level is the easy part, and I've got that covered.
But what I'd like to do is connect this circuit to a wi-fi transmitter (already know how to do that too) and then send the data to a server that I choose so I can keep a log.
My question here is, is it absolutely necessary to have an active computer in my house that would only serve as a relay to transmit this data (very small packets, about 100 bytes, once every 10 minutes) to a remote server?
Say I built a private web page that I could log into and see the current level status of the tank... I'd like to make my device transmit the data to the modem, and from the modem directly to the server, without the need for an active computer in my house. Is it possible?
