Hi, everybody
I want to can receive informations such as the temperature, humidity, movement and sound detection, etc ... from multiples Arduinos to a local Raspberry Pi that can analyse/store/make somes locals actions and send the result of his computation/states to a central server.
This is for to can handle multiples storey in an entire building, with one Arduino into each room and one distinct Raspberry Pi for to handle a portion of each storey and only one "big" server for to handle the entire building
Each Arduino has to communicate with it local Raspberry Pi using RF433 (or nRF24L01) wireless modules and we have one or more locals Raspberry Pi per storey that communicate their locals information to a "big" central server using the building Internet and/or WiFi network)
Each Raspberry Pi has to independantly handle a portion of a storey and have to regulary communicate to a central server where we have a global view of the temperature/humidity/movement/... of alls rooms.
So, each local Rasperry Pi has to make operations/décisions in fonctions of his currents states and thus cannot only to be a gateway, because it has really to act as a local server BUT it has too to transmit some informations to a global server where we can have a global view of alls rooms in the building.
This seem like a multi-stars network where each Raspberry Pi have to handle a local RF433/nRF24L01 network with multiples Arduinos and where alls Raspberry Pis has to communicate with a central server using the already existant building Internet and/or Wifi network
I don't have any problem about the handling of sensors on the Arduino platform or the handling of the Internet/WiFi communication between Rapsberry Pis and the central server.
My problem is "only" a the level of the RF433/nRF24L01 wireless communication between locals Arduinos and the local Raspberry Pi that I want to be as lightweight as possible but where I want to can analyse/handle independandly each message for to can make locals decisions, cf. not always transmit alls informations to the global server, only the aggregation of somes of them, and for to can make a maximum of locally computations/actions
For example, switch on/off lights where a person enter in a room don't need to make the big circuit local Arduino -> local Pi -> global server -> local Pi -> local Arduino when only the local circuit Arduino <-> local Rapsberry Pi is more than enough BUT the Raspberry Pi has to send to the server the information about the presence (or absence) of one person in the room and the on/off state of each local light and only them for that the server know all the time where lights are on/off and where rooms contain persons or not (for to can down the eating/light of one entire storey or building when any person is present into this storey or building the week-end for example)
How can I handle this ?
