Guidance on direction (Use of mesh network)
Posted: Sat Feb 12, 2022 3:06 am
Hello. I'm wanting to create a network of ESP devices that can take readings and send to an MQTT broker. It would look something like this given nodes would be set out in a straight line fashion opposed to having one central node and others around it
Router - root(1) - intermediate parent(2) - intermediate parent(3)
Measurements would be taken at 3 & 2 and then passed to 1 to be sent to MQTT.
Completely new to ESP-mesh and am confused. To achieve something like this, can I simply use the Arduino IDE? Or do I need to install ESP-IDF? I'm struggling to find an example of such
Any info much appreciated!
