ESPNOW flooding mesh library, version 2 forked from https://github.com/arttupii/espNowFloodingMeshLibrary
Features added/bugfixes since version 2:
- a lot of bugfixes and improvements, battle tested with 15+ nodes
- telemetry stats (optional)
- time sync after bootup is now possible from any node, not only master
- new INSTANT_TIME_SYNC_REQ_ANNONCE internal message for node annoncement
- led blinking support on message receive
- mesh begin can now run without WiFi disconnect (speeds up boot time, important for PIR sensor sleeping nodes)
- new function for sending messages with specific message ID (future support for multi mqtt gataway setup)
- message roundtrip reduced as much as possible to get more reponsive real-time system
Features:
- Maximum number of slave nodes: unlimited
- Number of master nodes: 1
- Master node sends time sync message every 10s to all nodes. (this synchronizes the clocks of the nodes)
- a message cache. If a received packet is already found in the cache --> it will not be retransmitted or handled again
- Every message has a time stamp. If the time stamp is too old (or from the future), the message will be rejected.
- All messages are crypted (AES128)
- Flooding mesh support
- TTL support (time to life)
- ESP32, ESP2866, ESP01
- Battery node support (Battery nodes do not relay messages)
- Request&Reply support
- Each Nodes can communicate with each other
- Ping about 40-60ms
- Nearly instant connection after poweron
- Retransmission support
- Request/Reply support
- Send and pray support (Send a message to all nodes without reply/ack)
- Easy to configure (Set only the same bsid, iv and secred key to all nodes)
- Works on esp-now broadcast
- Arduino
In this network example ttl must be >= 4
