Parsing broadcast messages from multiple hubs

[pcakl]

Hello, is there a way how to process the last let's say 10 messages received via hub.ble.observe function ? I am trying to have multiple sensors broadcasting their states but only 1 gets processed at each time. Thanks.

It sounds like you could look into using multiple channels (each hub sending on its own channel), and sending a list of multiple values instead of trying to send multiple single values in a row.

Hello. Thanks for a reply. I am having 2 communications from the HUB:

1. Broadcasting the status of the sensor on that HUB
2. Broadcasting the track status based on the status received from another sensor

So my limitation here is really that broadcasts can only be sent on 1 channel from each HUB.

My setup was that I wanted to use the sensor connected to the HUB at the start of each train track to broadcast track being busy when hit by the train. And also broadcast the message that previous track can be marked as free as the train passed this "next track" sensor. But it seems like I will need 2 sensors for each track talking on dedicated channels and then track status being broadcasted on different channel to overcome this.

You can send multiple values from a single hub/channel by sending a list of values.

Will look into it. Each HUB would sort of serve 2 tracks and if I would use dedicated channels I will need to have a "master" HUB listening on all the channels. Lets see if city HUB can manage :-)

Anyway so only the last message from each channel is kept in HUBs memory somewhere ?

Yes, that is how it works.
