Starting Up

[jaz010]

Hello Guys,

Just started up working on this project, the objective is to control monitor and control everything in the house.
I also have a lot of time on my hand since I live in a boring and extremely hot country , so I can contribute to improve the code.

I need the following clarifications:
1-  were the wireless and Ethernet gateway combined in your latest release?
2-  Is the communication 2 way between the wireless gateway and sensor node.
3-  Is it possible to store the IR signal on OPenHAB and send it via a rule to a specific sensor ?
( I want to automatically control AC temperature , and TV channel ....)

I will be using nrf24l01+ for transmission , so I will be modifying the code to  handle this transmitter .

1) yes 2) yes 3) yes using RFM69 wireless transceivers

See my original post & followup conversations (incl intent to post more details in the near future) at

As I post there, I'll try to keep in mind your requests for clarification.

                   In the meantime ...

     Look at github.com/computourist/RFM69-MQTT-client

1) Gateway 2.2 is reliable version on one Arduino compatible that uses 3.3 volts thru the digital pins (like ProMini or Buono Uno_

2) Gateway 2.2 & end nodes like DHT end node create a bidirectional network, that is, end nodes send data to OpenHAB user interface via Gateway AND OpenHAB can send commands for specific end nodes, including switching things off and on (via a relay(.

3)  Using other utilities & code, one can read IR codes for certain remote buttons, store them in the Arduino code of a specific end node with a IR LED, & use a virtual switch on an OpenHAB user interface to send them to a device.  Eventually I hope to post documentation for that at homeautomation.proboards.com/thread/62/success-home-automation-arduinos-rfm69s
