Marcel VS Farm-Data-Relay-System

I created a daemon that is bridging various protocols I'm using for my automation to MQTT (1-wire, RFXTRX, and some low level reading) : https://github.com/destroyedlolo/Marcel

Everything is built around MQTT messaging and I got several daemons picking, processing and submitting information. - https://github.com/destroyedlolo/Marcel is in charge of low level interface with my 1-wire network, get weather forecast, ISP figures ... Lua user script are doing simple processing and validate data if needed - https://github.com/destroyedlolo/Majordome is the root of the automation. Lua user scripts are launch based on received even and implement the automation. Initially, it was fully a Lua application, but separating the low level (C++) and user part (Lua) makes the code more easily manageable, and simply everything. - https://github.com/destroyedlolo/Selene is a framework helpers to Lua. Thanks to its pluggins, it add some capabilities to Lua to generate graphical or textual interface ... and much more like data management, multi-threading (real threading, not only co-routine that wasn't enough for such massive event driven dashboard).

I created one of them : Marcel (among other stuffs it can do). But it is very geeky oriented tool as needed manual compilation (nothing very complicated, only the procedure needs to be followed ... but repulsive for those who are used to windows and ready-made stuff).

Yes, I did that using a 1-wire DIY captor + homemade daemon.

FDRS is a custom built system on top of ESPNow (and lora, wifi, etc) that makes the messaging simple. https://github.com/timmbogner/Farm-Data-Relay-System https://youtu.be/6JI5wZABWmA

I second this.. i just discovered FDRS and am in the process of hooking a remote gate up to my Home Assistant server with a couple of heltec ESP32/Lora modules. Clicked through because this sounds like it could've been an alternative method of doing the same thing BUT the website lists no hardware, no documentation, no pricing... do you expect every prospective customer to have a conversation with you about what they need?

Have a look at FDRS, it should simplify your project's needs greatly.

I'd look at FDRS, I feel like it would fit your situation very well. Depending on the physical layout of our hives, you might have 1 node (w/ weight/t&h/audio sensors) per hive, one repeater and one gateway. You may not need the repeater, or you may need more than one. Using ESPNow, you can get 300m line of sight (even further if using ESPNow LR), Lora you can go much further.

Another FDRS user contributed an example using a DS3231 that you can look off of here.

I have been working on this project for a while, but only recently added controller functionality in an official capacity. As such, I updated my infographics and wanted to share them with the class: UART, MQTT.

This is a shameless plug, as it's a video about my own project. I actually have a soil moisture sensor experiment underway however, which I documented in this wiki page.
