[ESP-Wifi-Mesh] No-router mode changing root dynamically

Postby AndyS2M » Tue Jan 10, 2023 2:55 pm

I am currently exploring the use of ESP-Wifi-Mesh for a possible industrial application.
The requirements would be to not have a Wifi router (i.e. the mesh is used only to connect all devices with eachother and communicate with eachother). I was able to get a no-router setup working by using a fixed root and setting one device as root.

However, I need to be able to change root dynamically during operation. If I manually set a different node as root then the mesh does not organize itself properly and messages are no longer getting received to the newly made root.

What is the correct procedure to set a new root node dynamically when using a no-router (and thus no voting) setup ? Or is this not possible ?
