    Abstract: A device in a mesh network may select a relay path for use based on the power resources available to the devices forming the relay path. For example, if there are multiple relay paths available for selection, the device may choose a relay path that has the lowest quantity of devices that are operating on battery power. The device may determine the quantity of battery-powered devices associated with a path based on power information included in one or more messages received from one of the devices forming the path. After selecting the relay path, the device may transmit a response message to an intermediary device forming the relay path. The intermediary device may, in some examples, be a device that transmitted a message including the power information.
