While getting my feet wet with the Mesh devices, I am concerned that the Mesh network has limited use in industrial settings because of the limited range. I understand the range is a bit subjective right now as there isn’t a lot of empirical evidence as to what the useful range is and how the enviro…

This would be a very useful feature. It would probably conflict with the mesh pricing structure (which is a mess anyway).

@ninjatill , I agree with @nrobinson2000 in regards to being a nice feature. However that makes the Argon into a mesh “bridge” allowing the expansion of a mesh begin Particle’s structured plans. It is certainly a worthwhile discussion to have with Particle nonetheless. In the meantime, you may wan…

@peekay123 I would rather have the Local.publish() functionality on the Photon. But since the path is towards Gen 3, then the Argon is the likely target for this functionality. The Photon hardware is strapped for RAM compared to the Argon so more features just make it difficult to manage large user …

[image] ScruffR: There are no current plans to discontinue the Photon - you may want to read Will’s response on the discussion about “legacy” devices. Oh I read it... just didn't get a "warm and fuzzy" about the longevity of it.

Sometimes you don’t need to get emotional but can just take the words for what they literally mean :wink:

@ninjatill , I have been strongly advocating for a Photon 2 as I don’t believe the Argon has what it takes for the job (MHz, RAM, Flash, etc.) However, for a LOT of situations, it will fit the bill nicely. If the Particle future is Mesh then it would stand to reason that future devices support it a…

This feature would make a lot of my applications, and customer applications, much more robust and easy to use.

Yes, this would be a very valuable capability. I had made a question regarding basically the same functionality here: [image] 2 zone mesh network connected via wifi? BLE // NFC Thanks for the replies, from what I can tell perhaps some UDP & mesh will do what I want - bas…

Would something like Multicast help with your use-case? [image] Multicast UDP Tutorial Tutorials Thanks @rickkas7 … Imagine a LED Scoreboard displaying a running time and lap splits and/or finish times but on a SMART TV browser… I also want to provide the same data to tho…

There are no current plans to discontinue the Photon - you may want to re-read Will's response on the discussion about "legacy" devices.
