# Meshtastic Utilities
This repository serves as a collection of resources created in my journey to learn & utilize [LoRa](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LoRa) based communications with [Meshtastic](https://meshtastic.org).
The goal here is to create simple & clean modules to interface with the hardware in a way that can be used to expand the possibilities of the devices capabilities.

## Documentation
- [Hardware Options](./docs/HARDWARE.md)
- [Setup Hardware](./Sdocs/ETUP.md)
- [Setup a T-Deck](./docs/T-DECK.md)
- [Firmware Hacks & Customization](./docs/FIRMWARE.md)
- [MQTT Notes](./docs/MQTT.md)
## Code
- [Meshtastic Serial/TCP Interface](./meshapi.py)
- [Meshtastic MQTT Interface](./meshmqtt.py)
- [Meshtastic IRC Relay / Bridge](./meshirc.py)
## Bugs & Issues
- Devices must have Wifi turned off when going mobile. Upon leaving my house with WiFi still enabled, the UI & connection was EXTREMELY laggy & poor. Couldn't even type well...
- Devices using a MQTT with TLS will reboot loop.
- A fix for the reboot loop is simply disabling MQTT over serial with `meshtastic --set mqtt.tls_enabled false`
- Enabling JSON with MQTT causes messages to not be encrypted in the MQTT server..
## Roadmap
- Asyncronous meshtastic interface
- Documentation on MQTT bridging for high availability
- Bridge for IRC to allow channel messages to relay over Meshtastic & all Meshtastic events to relay into IRC. *(IRC to Meshtastic will require a command like `!mesh <message here>` to avoid overloading the traffic over LoRa)*
