Available functions:

send_nodeinfo(short_name, long_name, hw_model)
send_position(lat, lon, alt, precision)
send_device_telemetry(battery_level, voltage, chutil, airtxutil, uptime)
send_text_message("text")

Available arguments:

  -h, --help             show this help message and exit
  --config CONFIG        Path to the config file

  --lon LON              Longitude coordinate
  --alt ALT              Altitude
  --precision PRECISION  Position Precision

Examples:

To publish a message to the broker using settings defined in config.json:

python3 mqttc.py --message "I need an Alpinist"

To publish a message to the broker using settings defined in my-config.json:

python3 mqttc.py --config "my-config.json" --message "I need an Alpinist"

Installation:

git clone https://github.com/pdxlocations/MQTTc-for-Meshtastic.git
cd MQTTc-for-Meshtastic
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

Rename config-example.json and edit configuration:

sudo mv config-example.json config.json
sudo nano config.json
