MESH Networking Module Configuration Guide

The module defaults to MESH networking mode, so manual setup is typically unnecessary for standard use. To manually configure the MESH mode, send the command AT+ROLE5, followed by AT+RESET to restart the device and apply changes.

1. Configuration Examples

Example 1: Routing Node Configuration

This setup configures the device as a standard routing node capable of controlling other devices in the network via hardware buttons.

  1. Set Network ID (NETID) to 1122: AT+NETID1122
  2. Set Local Short Address to 0005: AT+MADDR0005
  3. Set Node Class to Routing Node: AT+MCLSS0
  4. Configure KEY1 Broadcast: AT+KEY1,0008,3,1
    Configures KEY1 to broadcast a signal that controls the *OUT3** output on all devices.*
  5. Apply Changes: AT+RESET Result: KEY1 can now control the OUT3 IO levels of all devices in the network.

Example 2: Low-Power Terminal Node

Ideal for battery-operated devices. In this mode, the device consumes only 3µA.

  1. Set Network ID (NETID) to 1122: AT+NETID1122
  2. Set Local Short Address to 0005: AT+MADDR0005
  3. Set Node Class to Low-Power Terminal: AT+MCLSS1
  4. Configure KEY1 Broadcast: AT+KEY1,0008,3,1
  5. Apply Changes: AT+RESET Behavior: Data is sent when the key is pressed; the device enters *Deep Sleep** immediately upon key release.*

Example 3: Routing Node with Manual Hex Commands

Configure the device as a router and send raw data to the network.

  1. Set Network ID (NETID) to 1122: AT+NETID1122
  2. Set Local Short Address to 0005: AT+MADDR0005
  3. Set Node Class to Routing Node: AT+MCLSS0
  4. Apply Changes: AT+RESET

2. Data Transmission (Hex Format)

The following commands use the prefix 41 54 2b 4d 45 53 48 (which translates to AT+MESH).

Action Hex Command
Broadcast Data (1122334455) to all devices 41 54 2b 4d 45 53 48 00 FF FF 11 22 33 44 55 0D 0A
Point-to-Point (1122334455) to Device 0008 41 54 2b 4d 45 53 48 00 00 08 11 22 33 44 55 0D 0A
Remote Control (Set 0008 OUT1 Low + ACK) 41 54 2b 4d 45 53 48 11 00 08 AA B2 E7 01 00

3. Command Reference Table

Command Function Description
