Mesh router for connecting to a mesh network

A measurement and/or auxiliary device, comprising:

• at least one mesh router for connecting the measurement and/or auxiliary device to a mesh network;
• wherein the mesh router comprises a plurality of communication interfaces comprising:
• at least a first communication interface adapted to receive and/or transmit data according to an IP based communication protocol, and
• at least a second communication interface adapted to receive and/or transmit data according to a non-IP based communication protocol;
• wherein the mesh router is directly or indirectly connected to at least one further measurement and/or auxiliary device in the mesh network via at least one of the communication interfaces;
• wherein the mesh router is configured to:
• adapt a data stream received via the first communication interface according to the non-IP based communication protocol and forward said data stream via the second communication interface, and to
• adapt a data stream received via the second communication interface according to the IP based communication protocol and forward said data stream via the first communication interface,
• wherein the measurement and/or auxiliary device is adapted to remotely control and/or configure the at least one further measurement and/or auxiliary device,
• wherein the mesh router is configured to manage an access of an external device which is connected to one of the communication interfaces to the mesh network, and
• wherein the mesh router is configured to only grant access of the external device to the mesh network if authentication or user confirmation is completed.
