This whole effort was inspired by https://github.com/computourist/RFM69-MQTT-client This set of applications is intended to provide a networked solution to the problem of home automation and monitoring. The Three main applications that will accomplish this will be the following;
| Item | Application | Description | Hardware | Communications | Quantity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OpenHAB | using an MQTT binding | Raspberry Pi | Ethernet | 1 |
| 2 | Gateway | running Gateway_2.5 | Arduino Buono 3.3volts | both RFM69 radio and Ethernet | 1 |
| 3 | Nodes | running node compatible with Gateway_2.5 | Arduino Buono 3.3volts | using RFM69 radio | multiple |
- obtain all technical components
- RFM69 Wiring Instructions
- make up radio and Arduinos
- get test scripts for the Arduinos]
- install the Arduino software
- test the radio functions
- expand test to simple sensors
- set up Raspberry Pi with OpenHab
- Test one node, the gateway and OpenHAB
