Hello
In this example, I used the esp8266-01 module and the connection was fine. However, I don’t know if I can extend the connection time interval by, for example, 1 minute. How should I modify the program to reduce power consumption and heat generation? quantity. thank you

Greetings.
In VS with PlatformIO and four ESP32s, I commented on the “arduinoUnity” library in “platformio.ini”, otherwise it gave an error.

In reply to Sara Santos.

Hi Rui/Sara,
I am new to ESP32 and I haven’t worked much with wifi or mesh networks. I have a total of 4 ESP32 boards that are in a mesh connection, I want 1 of the ESP32 to communicate with my wifi router so that it can access the internet and web server to monitor sensor data. I don’t understand how to do that. Can you help?

In reply to Dusan. I don't expect it will be easy to run any custom software like ESP-Mesh alongside the Shelly firmware. You would waste less effort by moving the 3EM closer to the appliance(s) to be measured, outside the faraday cage of the switchboard/

Hello.
I would like to ask for advice.
I have a Shelly 3EM (inside is ESP32) in the house switchboard , and it can not “communicate” (WiFi) with the router, which is located behind two concrete walls and a metal wall of the switchboard. I want to create ESP-MESH with ESP32 behind the first wall and insert a script with painlessMesh library into Shelly so that they communicate with each other (send consumption data and possibly a shutdown command). It’s a good idea, or take a different path. Thank you for your time devoted to my problem and I wish you much success.
