MESH Hub for Raspberry Pi Manual

[Abstract]

The MESH Hub Application for Raspberry Pi (MESH Hub) is an app for Raspberry Pi that can execute a "MESH recipe" on a Raspberry Pi instead of using a tablet or smart phone. However, you need an iPad or iPhone to setup or create the "MESH recipe". 

[The system structure]

The MESH application (MESH app) installed device and the MESH hub application (MESH hub) are connected via the Internet. A network connection is required to transfer the recipe created by the MESH app to the MESH hub. The recipe you create is stored for each MESH hub.

When you install MESH hub, Bluetooth connection is required to connect your MESH account to the MESH hub.

A Bluetooth connection is required to connect MESH blocks with MESH hub.
