1. A method for routing data within a local node network including a plurality of individually-addressed Bluetooth nodes, the method comprising:
- at a remote computing system physically remote from the node network;
determining a battery level of each node within the node network;
generating a routing table for the node network based on the node battery levels;
wirelessly connecting to a first node of the node network, wherein the first node comprises a cellular hardware module;
after wirelessly connecting to the first node, determining;
data addressed to a target node of the node network; and
an optimal routing path from the first node to the target node, the optimal routing path determined based on the routing table;
transmitting the data and the optimal routing path to the first node; and
at the first node, receiving the data and the optimal routing path from the remote computing system; and
routing the data from the first node to the target node according to the optimal routing path, using Bluetooth radios of nodes identified within the optimal routing path.
