@peerv Any luck with getting it working?

@electrik Sounds like what I want to do can be done, thanks.

@gohan With a radio directly on the rPi would mosquito talk to both the radio and WiFi? I assume it would, I would think mosquito would just be a service that the radio or WiFi sends/receives data to but have not seen anyone talk about it.

Thanks

Is it feasible to have MySensors talking to an MQTT Broker like Mosquito (running on a rpi) via radio so using say a USB gateway AND also have WiFi modules talking to Mosquito and then having Mosquito talking to HomeAssistant? I see where this is doable via MySensors and radio links OR it can be done using WiFi modules but what if you want both?

@mfalkvidd Thank you, I will check out the battery page.

New to MySensors. My question is about power consumption. More specifically how MySensors compare to WiFi. I know WiFi is a power pig and I am hoping MySensors' radio is significantly less of one. All of my stuff will be run via battery (drawn from a 12v bank and converted as needed).
Has anyone compared MySensors to their WiFi counterparts with power consumption in mind?

Thanks and have a good day.
