Try to use TI SimplicTi as the base to build a VSCP node.
It is suited for small RF networks with less than 250 nodes, SimpliciTI low-power radio frequency (RF) protocol runs on MSP430 microcontrollers and CC110x/CC2500 RF transceivers. It supports peer-to-peer communication to use access point to store and forward messages and range extenders to extend range of network to 4 hops. Network protocol supports wide range of low-power applications including alarm/security, automated meter reading, home automation, and active RFID

Application examples:

Alarm & security: occupancy sensors, light sensors, carbon monoxide sensors, glass-breakage detectors Smoke detectors.

Automatic meter reading: gas meters, water meters, e-meters , active RF-ID applications
