Mesh network for controlling lights (or other peripheries) wirelessly over long distances.
The painlessMesh library is used as the core of wireless communication. The main thought is to have one root node with a
web interface and here is where the first issue occurs. ESP can create only one AP at a time. Obviously, this AP will be
used for communication inside the mesh network, therefore other communication can not be done through it. A possible
workaround for this problem is to connect the root to another AP (another network) that is not associated with the mesh.
This hack has one disadvantage - the operator (respectively AP/another network) must be close to the root. The required
behavior implies that the root node must be always in the mesh network, otherwise the controlling will have not to work.
