Quick answer

Connect to a painlessMesh network

F-Droid repository metadata

Allows to connect from Android to a painlessMesh network and act like a node. The app can connect, request routing info (NODE_SYNC_REQUEST) and send single (SINGLE) and broadcast (BROADCAST) messages. There is no support for (TIME_DELAY), (TIME_SYNC) and (NODE_SYNC_REPLY). The app is connecting to the closest painlessMesh AP. Due to restrictions of Android, painlessMesh can not have AP and STA mode running in parallel. Since Android 6 it requires the location service permission from the user to be able to scan for Wi-Fi networks.

How to install

  1. Download the APK from the button at the top of this page.
  2. Allow “Install unknown apps” for your browser or file manager only, not for every app.
  3. Open the downloaded file and confirm the installation.
  4. If installation fails with “App not installed,” remove an earlier build of the same app first. A signature conflict is the usual cause.
