Hello,

I am trying to create a Wifi Repeater with an esp8266 (Wemos d1 mini pro) to create a "mesh network" so the other nodes connected to the parent node will have internet access.

Does anyone know how to do this?

I found a github repository which might help. But this is for Arduino.
This is the github repository: https://github.com/martin-ger/esp_wifi_repeater

The ardunio repository allows for up to 5Mbps only, so I'd assume that creating the same functionality in micropython will be a lot slower and make the Wifi Repeater even less usable.

I can't help with creating this in micropython, I was just wondering about possible applications.

I don't need this to be fast. Becouse the only thing i want to do is send commands from one esp8266 to the other. But i want this in a mesh to cover more area.

Zigbee would be a valid option. But i don't want this protocol, becouse this is expensive.

You could just use the firmware from the repo on one of your esps and communicate between all other connected esps.
But that's of course just a workaround and not the solution to your question.

No this is not a solution becouse i want to control lights with the esps. So i kind of want something like Philips Hue, but more extended and with much less of a cost.

Ok I understand, you want to deploy multiple devices without the need of having one device just as a wireless access point.

Exactly! I want all of those devices to connect to each other. (Mesh network. just like XBee but then with the ESP8266 module, with wifi.)

I have a base micropython version of esp-mdf project. If anybody can help me for futher project promotion, please contact me:
