Setting Up Direct Forwarding Network on ESP32

[rrwatt]

Hi,

I am trying to use ESP32 boards to set up and run a network of devices over a large area (considerably larger than the range of BLE). I would like all nodes to forward gathered information (e.g. temperature reading) across the network to arrive at one master device, where all the data will be processed. So far, I have only been able to get the on-off server working with my phone. My initial research has led me to believe that "Direct Forwarding" is the way to go:

However, I am not sure whether this is the correct way to approach this problem and I am hoping someone here will know a better way or be able to walk me through how to do this. I am using the vscode esp-idf extension to build and flash to my boards. Thank you in advance.
