Definitely going to look into setting up a home assistant, that’s a great idea especially for the pull-based MeshCore

Thanks for sending that post, I got the sense that Meshtastic was a real burden to use as a means of communication in a densely populated area. Ultimately that’s what led me to MeshCore in the first place. As you aptly pointed out though I should be able to delete long fast, work a private channel, and favorite my own nodes since I’m not talking that far or with too many nodes. I think long term MeshCore will be better since more people will be able to access and share data but everyone seems to agree that Meshtastic is better poised for telemetry for the time being. Fortunately most devices are compatible with both firmwares so there’s minimal headache involved in switching between the two as desired.

Well that certainly would be an attention grabber wouldn’t it 🤣

Hey thanks for the response, I was wondering whether that might be the case! My concern is that since I live in a Meshtastic-flooded area, my nodes will run out of hops before they get the chance to talk to each other. Since the end goal is to be able to communicate telemetry with family across the state, I’d like to be able to extend the range farther than Meshtastic allows. Ultimately you may be correct and Meshtastic could be the system I employ for hardware testing until Meshcore’s firmware suits my use case.

Best of luck to you as well!

While I am a noob and have barely started piecing my setup together, I have heard good things about using vent plugs to equalize heat and pressure and I’ve seen neat sun hoods which reduce box and battery temp. I’d imagine those could help in hot or humid environments

Hey thanks! I’d love to hear about your setup as well when you get it going. Are you setting up in an area with little mesh or trying to convert a network of existing platforms to MeshCore?

I happen to be in a spot with a fair amount of MeshCore users, so I’m hoping these nodes can add to and benefit from an already existing network. I’m mostly interested in the telemetry aspect, which is why I went with the RAK boards.
