The goal is to have a working, mesh network of sensors (i.e. light, temperature, presence) and actuators (motors to open / close a window, turn lights on and off, etc.). The solution is centred around a raspberry pi that has a NRF24L01+ chip, and works as a central point for gathering all of the data received via the radio. It then builds a webpage transmitting the data in real time and then rules are applied so that we can say, activate one motor if the value of a sensor is below 20° The nodes are based on the ATTiny85 AVR micro-controller and another NRF24L01+ chip.

Parts
- Raspberry Pi
- x + 1 NRF24L10+ chips, where x is the number of nodes
- x ATTiny
- Tool to flash the ATTiny, this can either be an arduino (using the Arduino as ISP sketch) or a dedicated AVR USB programmer
