Web Server minimal with Mesh Ap

Postby rsimpsonbusa » Wed Aug 02, 2023 9:29 pm

Hi all.

It would be great if one could have a minimal webserver in any mesh node (Ap of course). I did install a small one but I cannot access it since the SSID and Password are hidden, no matter that when printing the network config AP section we get a AP name of ESPM_XXXX where XXX has part of the MAC address of the ESP32. But NO password and the one set for MESH_AP_PASSWORD does not work.

In my case each node is a controls Hardware that may be different for each individual node and I need to configure it or get diagnostics from that node but not via the Root due to comms limitations.

Any suggestions.

You cannot start an HTTP server on a leaf node.

You can only start an HTTP server on the root node.

This is because all nodes in the MESH-NETWORK have the same IP address.

MQTT is effective when communicating with individual nodes.

MQTT allows communication with specific nodes within a Mesh-Network.
