ESP-Mesh-Lite and iot-reference-esp32 / esp-aws-iot

I'm attempting to modify the iot-reference-esp32 project to use esp-mesh-lite. I got iot-reference-esp32 working on a ESP32-C6-DevKitC-1 V1.2. I then attempted to modify that project to use esp-mesh-lite. With a single node, the mesh-lite project works fine. However when I turn on 2 nodes, the mesh is created but the network connections keep closing and reconnecting. I verified that it does create a mesh - I can see that one of the nodes is Level 1 with one child and the other is Level 2. But the constant network disconnection means messages are dropped and delayed.

Below is a typical output as one of the nodes publishes to a topic once every 5 seconds. I see the same behavior with QoS 0 or 1. Please let me know if you have any ideas for me try, or how to get additional debugging information out. Thank you.

A few clarifications: I can run the EPS-MESH-LITE example (mesh_local_provisioning) without any issue and I can run the IOT-REFERENCE-ESP32 reference with regular Wi-Fi without any problems or with a single node in mesh mode.

Is there something in the way MESH-LITE works that prevents the TLS / coreMQTT from working properly?

Hi,

i was having a similiar issue using the ESP-MQTT implementation with a mosquitto broker over Wifi-Mesh-Lite. The nodes did connect and form the mesh successfully but sometimes the connection to the MQTT Broker kept being periodically reset. It seems to me like this happened on reconfiguration of the mesh topology. Sometimes it worked but sometimes the devices kept reconnecting from different ports which made the connection very unreliable.

To narrow down the issue i downloaded the mesh_local_control example and replaced the TCP client by as simple MQTT client and the continuing resets seem to have stopped. They only happen now if a node connects or disconnects or the mesh changes its topology.

I am using esp-idf-v5.3.1 and esp-mesh-lite v1.0.0.

Below is the verbose output of the mosquitto broker during the connection resets:

Issue solved: Multiple nodes had the same ThingName set in menuconfig. Once each node had a unique ThingName, the issue stopped occuring.
