That's great to know (especially because my family must be able to manipulate the installation without me - and they are not very DIY / technophile etc...)
And there is no problem running the gateway on the Pi with RFM69 modules in parallel with Domoticz or Jeedom software?

RE: Creating a wireless fingerprints sensor !
I see. So there is no other possibility than using a gateway between the sensor and the controller? It's impossible for the controller to communicate directly with a sensor?

RE: Creating a wireless fingerprints sensor !
Ok thanks for the info
I read most of the doc here, one question remaining : if I go for a keypad with an arduino nano and a RFM69 module, will this sensor be able to communicate directly with my Pi controller via its RFXCom antenna?
Or do I need an arduino gateway anyway (and why)?Cheers

RE: Creating a wireless fingerprints sensor !
Thanks for your quick answer ! Yes I know Mysensors is DIY-orientated and I love that, but as one of the main purpose is to build our own sensors I thought I could gather some precious info here even by using a proprietary protocole like z-wave
In my case it's more about building the communication part between the sensor and my controller, so if you tell me that a z-uno module soldered to an arduino nano can work to transform the arduino/fingerprints combo into a z-wave sensor I'll try!
Actually I read several times that RF signals are quite sensitive to noise are interferences, this is why I wanted to use z-wave as this sensor is a main part of my system, but maybe you can advise me if you're more specialised on this subject ^^ -
Creating a wireless fingerprints sensor !
Hi everyone !
I'm new here but I already think I'm at the right place to solve this problemI'm building a home security system (Jeedom on RPI3, RFXCom module, stick z-wave and a few door sensors to start with) but I would like to implement a solution to deactivate the surveillance when we are at home so the system doesn't notify us every time a door is opened.
My idea was to use the adafruit fingerprint sensor for arduino, so a quick finger scan disables the system when we get home and reactivates it when we leave.
Actually I'm just missing a way to make the arduino communicate wirelessly the fingerprint sensor's data to the RPI which runs Jeedom as home automation software:- Is it feasible to add an RF module on the arduino to communicate using 433 MHz or a z-uno module to use z-wave for more security and stability?
- Is one of these solutions going to make the sensor/arduino behave like any 433MHz / z-wave sensor from the RPI point of view?
Thanks in advance for your help!
