ESP8266MQTTMesh
A self-assembling mesh network library for ESP8266 devices using MQTT for communication and supporting over-the-air updates.
What is ESP8266MQTTMesh?
ESP8266MQTTMesh is an Arduino library that creates a self-assembling mesh network for ESP8266 microcontrollers, using MQTT as the communication protocol. It allows multiple devices to connect and relay messages through a central MQTT broker, even if only one node has direct WiFi access. The library also supports over-the-air firmware updates, enabling remote management of distributed IoT nodes.
IoT developers and hobbyists building distributed sensor networks or home automation systems with ESP8266 devices, particularly those using platforms like Sonoff relays.
Developers choose ESP8266MQTTMesh for its automatic mesh formation, seamless MQTT integration, and built-in OTA update capabilities, which simplify deploying and maintaining networks of ESP8266-based devices without manual configuration.
