## Challenge

11
The challenge has been to send data (e.g., temperature sensor readings) from an outside garage to a server (RasPi) inside the main house.
11
12
The gerage is located some distance away from the house and multiple concrete walls are blocking the line of sight, making radio communication impossible.

13
But, there is one single phased power line between the house and the garage. Just the power line, no empty conduit.

The solution approach is to use the power line as carrier.

A power line modem is used to send sensor readings periodically over the power line.
