ESP8266 Community Forum

thanks for the sharing

Please excuse my dumb noob question. Hopefully this is the right place to ask about ESP8266WiFiMesh.h

I have read the readme and reviewed the library src. I've appended the details to my current sketch, and think I have the mesh working on 2xESP8266. My sketch (pre-mesh) is at https://github.com/SimonME30/DCCpp

Q1 - how do I connect to the mesh with other devices? E.g. I have a RPi3 running model railway control software called JMRI. I have an Arduino running other model railway control software called 'DCC++'. They are the things that will generate the messages, the ESP8266 are the clients.

Q2 - how do I connect the mesh to a WiFi network? I'm not sure I need to, but it would be handy to know. Do I just keep the current code to connect to my home WiFi network as well as the mesh?

If this is documented somewhere and I've missed it, please point me in the right direction!

Hello All,
Back here after a year after a lot of moves!
And here, the low level M2M framework is ready for ESP to ESP and any other device communication over Internet.
So, here we are talking about a Mesh over Internet.
Some basics you all may be interested for:
1. ESP will talk with any other client (ESP or mobile or PC) if they are connected to Internet (at any depth of network in LAN or WAN) and with the Push server just providing the ID
2. You can create your own group to broadcast and uni-cast or multi-cast message over devices
3. Send e-mail using simple API (no need of client implementation at ESP)
4. Get localized Time, and need not to implement NTP at ESP
5. Free SMS will be available soon for India
6. Secure messaging (Without SSL and with SSL) will be implemented very soon.

If it makes interest please put your comments to make it more flexible and ask for new APIs
Its in very Alpha level.
Find little info in https://esp8266mesh.wordpress.com/push- ... n-service/
