# jeethru
The "usual" (well, mine anyway) small sensor network layout using [jeenode]s:
```
{{jeenode sensor(s)...}} <~~[radio]~~>
<~~> {{jeenode gateway}} <--UART-->
/--------------- computer ---------------\
<-->|{ser2net} <--TCP--> {jeethru} <-> .... |
\----------------------------------------/
```
The aim of this project is to provide a single binary daemon, which listens on a TCP port (with the expectation of incoming [jeenode] gateway messages), processes them (i.e. decodes the RF12demo-formwatted messages into meaningful sensor data), and then pushes them further. The output options are:
* Another TCP port. This works as a simple forwarder, i.e. no decoding is done and the incoming messages are just relayed further. This relaying actually works both ways (i.e. also *towards* the jeenode gateway). However this daemon accepts more than one simultaneous connection (so it can act as a multiplexer for [ser2net], which is usually used to relay the UART/serial messages from the gateway to/from TCP).
* Plain CSV files (one line per reading, one file per type).
* Publish MQTT messages (this is also potentially two-way, but the "to gateway" direction is not implemented yet).
* Insert into MongoDB database.
This program is written in [rust], which is excellent in producing single static binaries which can be just copied around; and it is also very simple to cross-compile (e.g. using [this docker setup](https://github.com/messense/rust-musl-cross), I compile on my laptop and just copy the resulting binary to [my pocket beagle](https://flabbergast.drak.xyz/posts/pb-rfmcape/)).
One drawback is that the "decoding the gateway messages" bit is hardcoded into the program (see `sensordata.rs` and `decode_jee.rs` source files), so if anyone wants to use this, they will need to have a look at the code and modify for their own sensor types/
devices.
I wrote this program primarily for myself and my own small sensor network (and as a thing for learning [rust]), and I have no illusions about anyone else using this ;) So hardcoding the sensors was good enough for me. Also, because of the brutal ease of cross-compiling and having a single binary daemon with no dependencies, I do not feel compelled to implement some complicated sensordata configuration system.
