I just started getting interested in having some connectivity with my house and originally just wanted to connect the radio directly to the pi. I figured this was a no brainer. Well people are talking directly to arduinos from the pi with the radio module connected directly to gpio. However, they are not really going much farther than proof of concept and connecting one sensor as a test, and simply using the command prompt to query the arduino directly, which is not quite functional.
I've been finding stuff that is so close to what I want but not quite there.
I have found a few scripts that mesh gpio into mqtt, but I don't think it's quite what we want.
I found a few others that turn serial into mqtt the tranceivers use i2c so maybe this would work since you can assign a serial port to the gpio on the pi.
Here is a way to have tcp/ip over the nrf24l01 http://tmrh20.github.io/RF24Ethernet/
which could work to at least have everything be on the network.
I know the answer is out there somewhere but I just don't have the skillset/time/or patients to figure it out, I was hoping more folks would be interested since it would save having to build a separate gateway.
