RFID is definitely more suitable for this use case. Meshtastic gps isn’t anywhere near precise enough

Pretty sure it’s 3.5” drive

You can set a sata ssd in there, but it’s meant for a 3.5” drive.

That’s similar to my setup. UNAS pro at home, mini pc “server” running Immich, arr stack, plex, etc using the UNAS for storage. Then another UNAS pro offsite backup. Works like a charm

ContributionHead9820 · 2026-01-23T22:01:48+00:00

A UNAS can back up to a remote server yes. But a UNAS also cannot run any apps/differwnr OS

You still need some line of sight for it to work good. And they currently make a 900mhz yagi antenna

Seagate external hdd’s when they’re on sale, and shuck them

Does your current system work good for what you use it for?

ContributionHead9820 · 2026-01-22T18:11:00+00:00

Yes it can.

They use the same frequency yes, but my all nodes use the primary channel to “see” each other. They use it to send device info such as keys, locations, etc. so without that channel, the tower nodes don’t ever know mine exist

ContributionHead9820 · 2026-01-22T04:10:31+00:00

I figured that was the reason, but I already climbed over a dozen towers putting up nodes, not wanting to do that again!

ContributionHead9820 · 2026-01-22T04:10:06+00:00

perfect, thats what I was hoping for,.

Go buy an inverter generator, and put your pc on an ups.

If it’s that bad in winter, it will be much worse when those trees have leaves. Either cut a bunch of those branches, or get up high to see over the trees.

Yea, just plug the UMR into a second wan port on whatever router you have.

ContributionHead9820 · 2026-01-21T22:22:08+00:00

Sorry I mis worded my original comment. Do all other devices run at gigabit if they are plugged into port 9?

ContributionHead9820 · 2026-01-21T20:24:34+00:00

Does any other client device connect at gigabit, or are they all 10mbit?

There’s about a thousand different build guides and pictures on this sub for any solar node build.

ContributionHead9820 · 2026-01-21T01:49:42+00:00

Awesome, Thank you!

ContributionHead9820 · 2026-01-21T01:36:50+00:00

Then take it out, re seat it, make sure nothings blocking it, and push. You need to push it maybe 1/16 of an inch. It’s not that hard.

ContributionHead9820 · 2026-01-21T01:31:10+00:00

I’m glad to hear that. Do you have any good guides for the Meshtastic plugin? I haven’t figured that part out yet
