What is MeshCore?

Off-grid messaging over radio

MeshCore is an open-source, off-grid messaging system that lets people send short encrypted text messages without relying on mobile networks, Wi-Fi, Starlink, or the Internet. It works by using small, low-powered radio devices that can pass messages from one device to another, forming a mesh network that extends communication range across an area.

Why add bot contacts?

Clear names for local bots

Adding these bot contacts lets MeshCore show their names clearly, especially if your companion node has not already discovered them. They should only post occasional Belfast-area information, including traffic alerts, incidents, yellow/amber/red weather warnings, and scheduled parades on the day. The bots are intended to avoid repetition and stay Belfast-area only. Previous testing suggests roughly 5 messages per day maximum.
