Abstract

This project aims to design and implement a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) mesh network capable of demonstrating multiple key features required for modern IoT cyber-physical sensor based systems. Our implementation showcases essential capabilities including self-healing path rerouting when nodes fail, bidirectional data exchange with a cloud service, and node-to-node communication. This will be demonstrated by modern DC power monitoring and control.
