Hub

Hub

A Hub is a device (usually a really small computer -- think Raspberry Pi and BeagleBone) which gathers data from many devices or sensors. This Hub is located in the home where devices/sensors are deployed.

The Hub provides many services like:

• a website via which you can access most of the features of the project
• a REST API
• a WebSockets API/Endpoint
• [LATER ON] a way to relay your data to the Cloud for some specific features or ease of remote administration

Communication with Devices

The Hub should provide integration with as many as possible protocols in order to be able to talk with various devices.

Planned:

• custom XBee and ZigBee protocol, through XBee Tools
• ZigBee profiles (HA), through XBee Tools
• XRF via LLAP protocol
• custom RFM12B/RFM22B protocol
• ZWave
• various 433 Mhz radio protocols
