Microcontroller choice

I want to make a bms home system with 8051.But i don't know wich microcontrollers to use.To be specific i need
a: 1 microcontroller that can communicate with wifi because i want to control the entire system via my pc
b:unknown number of microcontrollers which they were connect with the wifi microcontroller.Also in these microcontrollers will connect the d/a and a/d converters for the sensors.

*For this project will i need any other chips except controllers,converters and the "typical" max232, etc...?
*To make the network between all the controllers which protocol do you recommend?will i need specific controllers to make the netwrok?

plz help....
Thanx

  • Look,first of all I think i forgot to mentioned something.This project is for university.So the money is not a big problem.I can afford a 300-500 €.But i don't know if this budget is enough.I will use some mc,about 8-10 sensors,and then i will need some chips for the networks.Is it possible to be done with 300€?
    Then i don't think serial is a good idea because a similar project with rs232 has be done.So i would like something different and i thing zigbee is a good idea.But if you can i need some more practical informations about zigbee such as i will have to place a radio module in every sensor,in every mc or i will need 1 for the whole circuit.Then if i will make it with zigbee i will need and another protocol for the mc netwrok?
