Is it possible to have an esp8266 that acts as a slave in a mesh network and then sends the received msg into
a WiFi network to an Mqtt server?

I know how to send Mqtt msg into a WiFi network, but can I have both WiFi and mesh enabled in one esp?

Thanks

There's one caveat though, both the controller and slave devices should be set up to use the same channel as the WiFi network is configured to.

It's described here:
