Zigbee should form a mesh without any additional configuration. The underlying zigbee-herdsman package seems to permit this.

Yes, but i wish to understand the principle (algorithm) of the topology, like star, mesh etc. Any help?

Within the documentation for zigbee2mqtt, there is an overview of how the network works. Check it out. It described the different kinds of nodes and their role in the network.

From what I've read, I believe so long as the devices have been paired onto the network via the coordinator, then the mesh network is self-organising. The coordinator just needs to send a message to an adjacent node/device and it will be routed to the recipient node.

Hope that helps :)
