RPi as a node

[A Former User]

I'm new to this!

Just wondering if I could use an RPi as a node and wire it using RS485?

I plan on using the Low Power labs "mightyhat" as my gateway, this will off load all the MySensors stuff on to the 'Atmel' on the hat. Allowing the RPi to do all the other things that it currently does.

I have another RPi set up as a for my garage door, which I want to integrate a video intercom in to. So the RPi will control the door, have a push button, which will be set up as a MySensors, and a camera and microphone + speaker that will use TCP. The video and MySensors will be sent via secure sockets to the first Pi, which will then re transmit the MySensors to the mighty hat via RS485.
