ESP-BLE-MESH
============

.. note::

  The current ESP-BLE-MESH v1.1 related code is a preview version, so the Mesh Protocol v1.1 related Structures, MACROs, and APIs involved in the code may be changed.

With various features of ESP-BLE-MESH, users can create a managed flooding mesh network for several scenarios, such as lighting, sensor and etc.

For an ESP32 to join and work on a ESP-BLE-MESH network, it must be provisioned firstly. By provisioning, the ESP32, as an unprovisioned device, will join the ESP-BLE-MESH network and become a ESP-BLE-MESH node, communicating with other nodes within or beyond the radio range.

Apart from ESP-BLE-MESH nodes, inside ESP-BLE-MESH network, there is also ESP32 that works as ESP-BLE-MESH provisioner, which could provision unprovisioned devices into ESP-BLE-MESH nodes and configure the nodes with various features.

For information how to start using ESP32 and ESP-BLE-MESH, please see the Section :ref:`getting-started-with-ble-mesh`. If you are interested in information on ESP-BLE-MESH architecture, including some details of software implementation, please see Section :doc:`../../api-guides/esp-ble-mesh/ble-mesh-architecture`.


Application Examples and Demos
------------------------------

Please refer to Sections :ref:`esp-ble-mesh-examples` and :ref:`esp-ble-mesh-demo-videos`.


API Reference
