Yeah, I think that's my next step. It was fine when I was bodging everything together many moons ago but I've been out of the game for a bit - 2 years without a home to ensmarten and a year fixing this new place up. As I'm now getting back up to speed and pretty much starting afresh, I might as well try and do it a bit better this time around. I have just got a long range Bluetooth adapter for the Raspberry Pi so it can talk directly to the temp/humidity sensors and getting rid of the hub would be handy although I may possibly still need it for the robot vac.
