Hi there
I am working on a measuring node network in my house.
The plan is to have 1 node in everyroom, and attic, and outside.
The measuring nodes should wake up every 5 min. from deep sleep, do the measurements and transmit the result via NRF24L01+ hardware to the masternode, which is a Raspberry pi, that will do the logging and graphing of the data.
My question is now, how do I make the most robust network?
Do i use RF24Network and handled the setup of the network by hand?
Or do i use RF24Mesh and let the program handle the ID's and routing of the data.
I really would like every node to run on batteries, and be in deep sleep (power down) most of the time, if a node has to wake up in order to route information that is okay.
Which of those programs (i know RF24Mesh uses RF24Network) is best to do this?
Personally i like the mesh idea, letting it handle the node id's routing and all that, but can it handle the sleeping nodes?
