Abstract
Technology for event propagation and action coordination in a mesh network is described. In one embodiment, a master mesh node for a first communication channel in a mesh network receives a first event notification message from a first dependent mesh node associated with the master mesh node. The first event notification message pertains to a first event detected by the first dependent mesh node. In response, the master mesh node generates a first action message specifying a first action associated with the first event and sends the first action message to the first dependent mesh node and to a second dependent mesh node associated with the master mesh node. The master mesh node, the first dependent mesh node, and the second dependent mesh node all exchange communications with each other using the first communication channel in the mesh network.
