I am trying to build a self-healing mesh network between my esp8266 sensor nodes (about 100 nodes). I need every node to be updated over the internet (OTA). I found some libraries that build mesh but each has some limitations:
easyMesh: No OTA.
painlessMesh: No OTA.
ESP8266MQTTMesh: Needs a mqtt broker. Using an arduino as broker limits the number of working nodes.
Any suggestions?
I need something like this:

thanks for help.

A cheap VPS maybe that you could host a basic rest site then to controll your network over any simple app?

In that way you could work with the ESP8266MQTTMesh if i am not mistaken.
