Eric - I really like your OpenHAB home automation project and have mentioned it a few time on my Twitter feed @Arduinoguy. A question: would it be possible to do away with the Arduino and RF Transceivers components and use the new low cost ESP8266 that so many projects are based on these days? Is that something you might update your project with and publish info on to enable others to follow in your footsteps? Thanks again for a great project!

Oh yeah, definitely. I'd like to transition my in-home nodes to ESP8266 actually. It natively supports MQTT, so you can just subscribe/publish directly to OpenHAB. The ESP8266 makes it super easy. You're limited to the range of wifi, but that's ok for a lot of use cases.

Eric - that's super news! Since I haven't started implementing OpenHAB based home automation yet, what I'm wondering is how the communications would work? In your original project, you have the sensor node Arduino communicating with the Wireless gateway Arduino via RF. If the sensor node is an ESP8266 connected to your home WiFi, would the Gateway Arduino (or ESP8266) be connected to the same WiFi network and then automatically receive the MQTT messages? I guess the software on both the Node and the Gateway would have to rewritten?
If there's a more convenient way to ask questions (email?) than via this comment forum, just let me know. Thanks for your help.

Hello Eric. Great effort to get this up and running.
With your radio link what is the throughput? ie how many sensors can you practically monitor and control across one radio link?
Do you have a sample of code written for controlling relays across the radio path?
I'm wanting to get started on this project regards iank84@gmail.com

Dear Eric, please contact me at aaantonis[at]gmail.com. I would like to talk about your project and how it could be done on my case. I would like to hire your services in other words. :)

Eric I would love to chat send me an email and lets talk, doug.leppard@gmail.com
where are the code and circuits?
