I have tried to setup a Mesh network with two Argon’s. I went through the setup procedure on the iOS app. The first Argon will setup but when I try to setup the other Argon I get the message below. I am selecting the option to setup another device after setting up the first Argon. I have tried doing…

AFAICT there is currently no way to setup an Argon as non-gateway and also no way to create a mesh network with multiple gateways. Putting both limitations together, you won’t be able to set a mesh up between two Argons. Support for both should be comming but just isn’t there yet.

I attempted to update firmware through the CLI. Both Argon’s were set in DFU mode (blinking yellow). When I try to update them the CLI says it was unable to detect any devices in DFU mode. Note: I also made sure the CLI was updated.

Oh, that would do it. Can I setup a Boron as a non-gateway or did I need to get a Xenon? If no then crap, I only got those two…

At the moment, I believe if you want to utilize the mesh network, you need a Xenon.

Well darn it, how did I miss that :confused:

It wasn’t stated during the pre-order. Only recently (last 30 days) did they update the mesh pricing and announce that HA mesh networks (High Availability = more than one gateway on the mesh) wouldn’t be available until a later date. Although I understood the need for a Xenon from the pre-order desc…

Thank you for everyone’s help!

Can we get some Manager or other Particle people on this thread? @will @zachary @zach @avidan @rickkas7 @KyleG @AndyW Multiple Argon Mesh ability is really needed as per this in the pricing. https://docs.particle.io/support/pricing/general-questions/#do-i-have-to-pay-anything-to-use-particl…

Better take those Xenons out of the black foam since it can be conductive. The Yellow LED on the one closest to the Argon in the picture should also stop flashing once you remove the foam. Supposedly the foam can damage the Xenon or any device worst case. I just took my Argon and 5 Xenons down for…
