    Signal Strength and Triangulation

    I was wondering if there's any way I could get the signal strength of other nodes in the network?  I want to do some rudimentary triangulation to get an idea of which room I am currently located in, and I thought if I could get an idea of how powerful of a signal the different nodes in the mesh had relative to me, I could do some simple mapping.

     I looked through the API, and I don't see anything similar to that currently exposed.  I noticed that the professional edition of the thinkessentials software has some signal strength information, but it seems like it is built more for finding deadspots and debugging.  If I got the professional edition would I have access to some of that information in the SDK?  Or is there any way I can drill down to a lower level api to get that information out?

     

    Thanks

    alanalan,

    Your best bet is to use ThinkEssentials Professional Edition for this feature.  Network quality is beyond the scope of the current SDK release.

    I would like to be able to do the same thing with the SDK.  It would be great if you would add the signal strength functionality.
