Building a gateway with two transport layers

[Giovanni Chiva]

Hi everyone. After using MySensors for 2.5 years and lurking on this forum, I'm finally feeling confident enough to ask a question here.
I'm building a new house and I want to integrate everything to HomeAssistent using MySensors.

Since I don't want my house lighting to rely on radio communication (I.e. RF24) and since the distance between the controller and the gateway is quite big, I'm thinking of using RS485 between them.

However, I also want to be able to dynamically add nodes around the house later on using RF24 if I want to.

Here's exactly what I'm trying to achieve :

So essentially I'm asking if there's a way to enable two separate transport layers : RS485 and RF24 at the same time.

If yes, how would that be implemented?
If no, is there an alternative to this? Does anyone have an idea of how can something like this be done?

Welcome to the forum @Giovanni-Chiva

Yes, it can be done: https://forum.mysensors.org/topic/11135/something-s-cooking-in-the-mysensors-labs

Alternatively, you set up one gateway per network.

@mfalkvidd thank you very much for your quick answer! I'll look into that.
