im trying to use the painless mesh protocol for smarthome application but how do i get it to talk to my smart hub api. the api is a simple http get so what im asking is it possible to conntect to wifi and painless mesh at the same time or do i have to use 2 esps one connected to wifi one to mesh with some wire protocol between them if so what protocol would be the best?
As far as I know this forum no forum-member has a glas-sphere that is able to read your mind.
Not everybody knows what painless mesh is
post a link to the description
nobody knows except you what your http get looks like in detail
post a link to your smarthome-API
or
post an example how the http-get looks like.
I'm pretty sure that you agree and will follow the way how to solve your problem mimimum 200 minutes faster.
This requires to invest 20 minutes of your precious time to read how to speedup solving your problems.
Directly after registering you got presented informations how to speed up solving your problem.
You should really read it.
best regards Stefan
i have made the api work with httpget and i have made the mesh work i just want to know how you do them together. i just need help with the linking of the two thats why im not posting irrelevant things
so without any more specific details all (me personal) can say is:
I guess painless mesh establishes the WiFi-connection and if this is established you can do http-gets with your API.
Though I am sure that this does not help.
So maybe others that know more about painless mesh and especially about http-get
can be of more help
Yeah, I can't get Painless Mesh to connect to a WiFi at the same time as it's connected to the mesh, so I'm guessing it's easier to connect two ESPs together physically. One connects to WiFi via the normal method, the other connects to Painless Mesh, and they use some sort of wire to talk. Just wondering what protocol would be the best for that?
are you using ESP-MESH?
there has been questions and discussions about running ESP-NOW and WiFi concurrently - try a web search for espnow plus wifi and similar searches
may give you some ideas
otherwise a couple of ESPs connected via serial???
You decided what details are irrelevant.
I have an assumption what might be the problem but as you decided that almost everything is irrelevant go fiind it yourself
think so if its what the painless mesh protocol uses Painless Mesh - Arduino Reference
i tried that but it spams random characters quite often sometimes it gives me the right test message but often random spam
the shorter the postings the longer the time to solve the problems.
It's that easy.
I am tired of asking for details. Either you come up with the details or you could go snap-chattering on snapchat as well.
the details like what the get looks like dont matter as i cant even get it to send a get how is it relevant how the get looks if i cant even send it with painless mesh on
the details of the get are not really relevant. The full code IS relevant.
You seem to enjoy writing arguments why you should hide as much information as possible.
Go on writing more arguments!
I have an assumption what might be wrong.
But I will play your game of holding back informations.
If you would know what the reason is you would not ask.
So the main reason to post your sketch is that you do not know enough to solve the problem yourself.
You seem to prefer waiting days and weeks until some users make some shoot in the fog suggestions what might be the reason.
Yes well that's a way to enjoy userforums too
