This project's aim to develop an automation network to monitor/control a variety of device in home or office environment. The network is structured as a decentralized mesh network, using wired and wireless links. Multiple level of interface are accessible to use and administer the network.

This is a rather large project, the main goal is to provide a standardized interface for communication and data gathering.

Boards will consist of a core and module(s).

All core will be the same to facilitate developpment, but module will change depending of the usage.

A smart implementation of mesh inspired network will allow device to interract with each others, wheter it be wired or wirelessly

1. Module should be able to upgrade their firmware using existing network capability
2. Automated task should be customizable via an interface
3. Network communication must be transparent to user application

1. Automate task based on environmental or time-based trigger
2. Create task with a dedicated user interface
3. Firmware upgrade propagation through the network
4. Node interconnection available even without direct access (mesh)

1. Project requirement and goal
   1. Basic Wiki for documentation
   2. Happy gecko test for user introduction
2. Mantle version 1.0
   1. Firmware upgrade from auxiliary memory
   2. Basic wireless communication
   3. Basic RS-485 communication
3. More later
