Configure a WiFi mesh edge node to connect to the gateway and send data locally. The gateway forwards data to the neatMon cloud.
A mesh edge node connects to the gateway via WiFi and posts data to the gateway local HTTP server.
The gateway then forwards this data to api.neatmon.io over cellular.
Flash the latest mesh node firmware for your device class:
