*As far as I know, a relay should re-transmit any given ESP-NOW packet, not just the type used in the FDRS.*
## Gateway
The gateway takes the packet of ESP-NOW data and interprets it into Json format, then outputs it over the serial port. From here it can be collected by another microcontroller or a Raspberry Pi known as a front-end to be sent to the cloud for further processing and storage.

## Front-end
### Blynk
So far, the only front end module available is an example I wrote for sending the data to Blynk. I'll be adding more as I implement the system further.

## Future plans
Future plans include two-way communication and as many data sources as I can fathom. I'd like to eventually be able to send commands to remotely adjust irrigation/ventilation or even send weather data such as tornado warnings to the terminal in future iterations of this project.
Also, the purpose of the DataPacket wrapper will soon change, as there is no need to know the legnth of the array it contains anymore. I just wanted to get that out before someone mentioned it :o)
## Thank you
...very much for checking out my project! There are a few topics I've glossed over here that I intend to elaborate on in the future. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at bogner1@gmail.com.
Also a big thank you to both ***Sola Gratia Farm*** and ***The IDEA Store*** of *Urbana, IL, USA*, without whom this project would not exist.
