LabVIEW + Arduino + Xbee

Hi,

I am currently working on my final year project at my university.  I have to design a Wireless Sensor Network to monitor and control the conditions within a greenhouse.  The system will consist of sensor nodes place through out a greenhouse to monitor the conditions.  This data will then be forwarded to a PC wirelessly using Xbee modules.  My project supervisor wants me to use LabVIEW on the PC to display the data.  I am then supposed to use this data and performs certain control actions if needed.  For demonstration purposes I will deisnging one (1) sensor node using various sensors and an Arduino Uno along with an Xbee module.  This sensor node will collect the data and transmit it to the PC where LabVIEW will use it and display the data.  I will be using a Fuzzy Logic Controller to control the conditions and I want to implement this controller in LabVIEW.  When the controller in LabVIEW comes up with the appropriate action I would like the control action to be forwarded to the an Arduino Due connected to an Xbee module to operate actuators.  I choose the Due for multitaksing purposes. 

I would like to find out if it possible to:

1. Send a request signal from LabView to the sensor node to collect data wirelessly using the Xbee module.

2. As well as is it possible to send the control action created by the controller in  LabVIEW to the Arduino Due connected the  an Xbee module to operate certain actuators.  Since its just a demo the actuators will be simple led, motors.

Is there a reason why you need to achieve the same result in such a complicated fashion?

Do you really need fuzzy logic?
