Howto receive messages from the device using the python meshtastic cli?

Support
1

Since it is possible to connect the device to USB and
use the meshtastic python cli tool to send messages like this:

meshtastic --port /dev/ttyACM0 --sendtext "Hello World!"

I am wondering if is it possible to read/wait for messages as well ?

Something like this:

meshtastic --port /dev/ttyACM0 --receivetext | while read message ....

Note: receivetext is not a valid option, the above is just to explain what I am looking for.

Thanks in advance

I made a version of the CLI written in Go that has an option like this built in. I actually made it for this exact reason :joy:

You can download it from the GitHub repo if you’re interested GitHub - lmatte7/meshtastic-go: CLI for Meshtastic Devices

Very nice, thank you.
i search for very simple GUI for windows users, to send messages.
For “dummy” in meshtastic webinterface is not easy to access.
