Design protocol

[Nezerpz]

Requirements for communication

• [x] TCP or UDP
• [ ] Multiple nodes and control panels to work
• [ ] Different sensor types
• [ ] Different commands, not predefined.
• [ ] Control panel can send data to a spesific or several actuators
• [ ] Which side will relay the information. (Will controlpanel pull, will actuator push, or potentially both)

  Nodes need to

• [ ] Have a unique identifer
• [ ] Have multiple sensors attached to them, with a minimum of one sensor
• [ ] Support diffrent kinds of sensors
• [ ] Act as an actuator aswell as a sensor
• [ ] Support diffrent acturators

  Control-panel need to

• [ ] See a list of all sensor nodes
• [ ] Recieve sensor data from any sensor-node
• [ ] Visualize recived sensor data.
• [ ] Recieve actuator status (If a window is open or closed)
• [ ] Visualize actuator status for each sensor node
• [ ] Send control commands to any sensor node. (Turn on or off actuators on spesific nodes)

Which side will relay the information.

I think it could be good if the server occationally pulls information from the server and pushes it to the control panel, while we can also use the control panel to make the server update its information immediatly and send it to the control panel. Both passive and active updates to the information.
