There's a protocol called ESP MESH, with which multiple ESP32 (and ESP8266) can talk to each other. > ESP-WIFI-MESH is a wireless communication network with nodes organized in a mesh topology using the simultaneous AP-STA feature on Espressif SoCs. It provides a self-forming and self-healing network, with ease of deployment. The network topology of ESP-WIFI-MESH can scale up to 1000 nodes in large areas. https://www.espressif.com/en/products/sdks/esp-wifi-mesh/overview https://www.espressif.com/en/products/sdks/esp-wifi-mesh/ove... https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp-mesh-esp32-esp8266-painlessmesh/ https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp-mesh-esp32-esp8266-painl... --- I didn't know that home WiFi routers have difficulty with more than a dozen connections, but I imagine ESP MESH could be a way around it, where a few devices connect to your router and act as access points for the rest of them.
