Mini-controller using Arduino?
-
Hi all,
I want to monitor a few remote sensors without using a controller, rather than any actual home automation - just a gateway with a bit of extra logic to parse messages and display data (or send via serial to a computer).
Any thoughts whether MySensors libraries may be useful for this, either as is, or just reusing the main parts? The message format looks useful, and it looks like network setup is sort of automated, but can it be used without a controller?
Or is there a better framework?
If not, I'll hack my own using the RF24 libraries.

It is possible to send data between nodes so you could probably just make a display node and send data directly to this node from your sensor nodes.
You will need hard coded NODE_IDs in all your nodes.

I did exactly this:
