esp32_mesh

mesh examples for parents and leaf with ESP32 and ESP32-S2 using the esp_idf

features

wrap static code into a c++ app library
- quicker portability by calling one function instead of copy pasting hundreds of lines each time
- template code for wifi and mesh is quite stable and does not require changes on different samples
- arduino like, makes porting later easier
switch from compile time menuconfig to runtime json config
- allows a structured config in json
- update of the file anytime even remote with fs management
- easier to interface with webapps as tool for config
Use SmartConfig for wifi provisioning
- possible to provide a ready to flash app without config dependencies for wifi password
- SmartConfig is a standard provisioning method

parent : idf project for mesh nodes with permanent power supply
- includes web server fo mesh view and configuration
leaf : idf project for low power sleepy devices
- includes sensors libraries

mesh.topology : "tree", "chain"
mesh.leaf.duty_type : "request", "demand"
- mesh.leaf.demand_cycle only applicable with "demand"
mesh.parent.network.rule: "entire", "uplink"
