So glad @ScruffR has joined this thread, perhaps he can use his big brain to help solve the Openthread-Particle Interconnection problem.
Lets define this problem with an example:
Lets say @ScruffR designs some Particle Mesh product that goes viral, "Your fellow hobbyist believe in you @ScruffR", and it gets so much attention that @ScruffR gets an email from Google Nest:
"We would like to include your product in the Google Nest family and are willing to pay x millions, we are coming to visit you in 3 days and would like to see a demonstration of how well your product works with OpenThread"
But Particle Mesh products, that have been heavily advertised as being OpenThread based, do not work with Openthread. @ScruffR loses his chance to make money and goes back to helping people for free on the Particle Forum.
Why would a Product Creator choose Particle Mesh when so many other companies are designing products that will soon or already do work with OpenThread? Especially anyone who is following the issues
Particle is having with the Mesh devices. It's only us Hobbyists that already love the Particle products that are loyal enough to hang around to see how this thing pans out.
Here is my Quickstart Guide to OpenThread. It is perhaps the ugliest web page I have every made, but the OpenThread documentation is very confusing and I am trying to simplify it.
@ScruffR you are really perhaps the best person to help Particle by solving the Openthread-Particle Interconnection problem, do you have any useful positive ideas?
