Claim One:
1. A method of updating commissioning data in nodes of a mesh network, the method comprising: receiving a commissioning dataset at a node device in the mesh network; comparing a timestamp included in the received commissioning dataset with a stored timestamp included in a commissioning dataset that is stored in the node device, the stored commissioning dataset having been updated after a split of the mesh network into a plurality of partitions, a first partition including a leader device and a second partition including the node device, the split stopping communication between the node device and the leader device over the mesh network; determining, from said comparing, that the stored timestamp is more recent than the received timestamp; and in response to said determining, transmitting a message to the leader device of the mesh network, the message comprising the stored commissioning dataset and being effective to enable the leader device to accept the stored commissioning dataset as the most recent commissioning dataset for the mesh network, and propagate the stored commissioning dataset to the mesh network, the node device and the leader device having been previously commissioned to the mesh network with stored identical commissioning datasets in the node device and the leader device.
