Easiest, perhaps. Currently the Pi is the local master. I want the external
nodes to be low-power and relatively stupid to minimize management.
For the cost of an XBee ($17), an ATTiny85 or ATMega328 ($1-3), a regulator
(<$1), an enclosure ($5) a 5V PS or battery ($3-4), a breadboard ($1) and
an ethernet jack, I'd have something capable of mesh networking for <$30.
I'd also have a handful of extra IO to boot, ADCs, etc.. compare that to
$173 for a wifi-enabled module from EDS. It would of course be on its own
network rather than on the LAN, but some would consider this an advantage.
In the end, I'll probably build a service for management of remote networks
over serial. Should be easy enough.
