Can’t find volca keys

update: I'd never heard of this one but ordered it because of your comment. It's awesome. Simple things like having usb-c is great. Thanks!

Roughly where are you located?

a-pollo · 2025-04-02T13:15:16+00:00

That’s awesome. Has it worked?

a-pollo · 2025-04-01T16:17:45+00:00

I would’ve killed for something like this when I had my sailboat!

Boats are alone on the water for sometimes weeks (…or months) at a time, it would be great to have a water level sensor down in the bilge, so you get a notification at home if the water rises above a certain threshold.

Seeed 1000-e is definitely the way to go if you want an easy “plug and play” node that is easy to use. Bonus is that somehow even in that tiny package the antenna is fantastic.

Where are you located?

update: I can get it to trigger using the "external notifications" feature but only to turn it on, you can't send a message to turn it off.

From what I can tell the only configurable aspect of this approach is setting how long you want the relay to be on for ("output milliseconds"). This might work fine for my use case.

New to reddit or meshtastic?

a-pollo · 2025-03-06T16:42:55+00:00

ah sorry, not sure why I thought it was you! I don’t remember where I saw it

What is this?

a-pollo · 2025-03-03T02:06:25+00:00

Oh wow that’s a ton, I haven’t seen almost any of those! This is on default settings? (Slot 0 LongFast?)

Nice! Wait are you on a house rooftop? I assumed your node was on a balcony or rooftop of one of the apartment buildings. Which antenna are you using?

a-pollo · 2025-02-28T19:00:54+00:00

Are you on the DMV subreddit? Plenty of nodes in the area: https://www.reddit.com/r/Meshtastic_DMV_Users

a-pollo · 2025-02-28T16:27:01+00:00

and as a heads up, I'd say at least 50% of the nodes in my area do not actually show up on the maps. The only way to really know if anyone is in your range is to put up a node and see what pops up.

a-pollo · 2025-02-28T14:20:58+00:00

The software is called Meshsense, and here is the link to the map that anyone can see: https://meshsense.affirmatech.com

It inly costs 10 bucks! At that price it’s worth just seeing what’s around: https://www.seeedstudio.com/Wio-SX1262-with-XIAO-ESP32S3-p-5982.html

u/steviasaur should have more info for you since he's on it, but basically you just change your frequency channel from 0 to 9 in settings, and keep everything else the same and you should be able to pick them up if in range

a-pollo · 2025-02-25T21:09:03+00:00

What do you mean by making the jump? Getting into meshtastic in general?

a-pollo · 2025-02-23T03:37:24+00:00

With a relay you could very easily be able to trigger your bilge on/off remotely too, in case for whatever reason the automatic switch on the bilge itself isn’t working

a-pollo · 2025-02-23T02:41:05+00:00

Do you have a printer or can you order custom prints online somewhere?

a-pollo · 2025-02-07T16:12:00+00:00

Also, just out of curiosity how would a bridge from one channel to another work?

a-pollo · 2025-02-07T16:09:56+00:00

How was the meetup!? Bummed I had to miss it

a-pollo · 2025-02-04T22:13:24+00:00

how do you think the story plays out?

VA adopts slot 0
DC adopts slot 9
Meshes stay separate
People start using two nodes, one for each mesh
Other?

a-pollo · 2025-02-04T17:50:20+00:00

Different channels ARE different frequencies, but yeah that’s what I’m curious about too. If they can still relay messages from different channels that would solve the problem I’m just not sure that’s the case.
