Roberto, It seems to be the problem that it all sounds great but there is very little hardware out there. I was hoping some of you might have seen more hardware. This all started as a smart RFID tag system for the military. It seems like it could be so much more, with the longer range, easy lo

Very interesting. You're right, we could just add it to owserver We'd just implement the owserver messaging protocol, which is also message based. Is there a trial platform? And what do the device addresses look like? (I'm trying to think of the command line format). Paul On Tue, Jan 28, 2014 a

Paul, I was imagining it as a channel back from a remote bus master. Dash supports 2 byte local net addressing and 8 byte unique addressing. It was designed to play well with RFID, so I would assume that unique addresses would be of that form. Since 1-wire is a master/slave messaging system,

I just looked at dash7 -- 439MHz radio. Looks interesting, but its not yet clear to me out how it would fit in. I'm trying to download the protocol but how do you envision using dash7? As communication from sensors directly, or as dash7-enabled bus masters? Does dash7 have unique addresses for ea

Hi, In the talk about wireless connection, no one mentioned Dash7. I am solving a different problem and looking at it Dash7 seems to be the perfect solution. It has longer range, low power, message based transmission and location ability. It seems like the ideal package for remote sensors. And
