So yeah. Sounds like nothing new, and there is definitely severe limitations in latency and power consumption in using these methods to do anything except change some settings or toggle GPIOs. Not revolutionary, but definitely cool that you were able to reduce power consumption to run on batteries unlike other implementations that leave the receive on 100% of the time.

So... is this broadcast/observe and trickle, or true connections? From the tree demo, it looks like trickle with a limited observe window to limit the power consumption. If it were connection I would expect the tree to light up a little less randomly.
