I’ve been diving into optimizing my smart home setup, particularly focusing on reliable sensor data synchronization. After experimenting with BLE mesh using the nRF52840, I noticed occasional data loss, especially in environments with high interference. This was particularly frustrating with my temperature and humidity sensors, as I often received incomplete data sets.
To address this, I decided to modify the sensor data collection interval. By reducing the interval and ensuring simultaneous data capture for both temperature and humidity, I noticed a significant improvement in data integrity. However, there were still instances where one sensor reading would be lost while the other was captured, leading to inconsistent data logs.
After some research and tweaking, I realized the issue stemmed from the sequential data retrieval process. By adjusting the sensor data collection method to fetch both readings in a single transmission, I achieved more consistent data capture. This approach not only reduced data loss but also streamlined the system, making it more efficient.
For anyone else dealing with similar challenges, I recommend reviewing your data collection intervals and transmission methods. Experimenting with simultaneous data capture and optimizing transmission protocols can lead to more reliable sensor data and a smoother smart home experience.
