Meshtastic supports Telemetry Module, which is great! The T-BEAM itself does not have a BME280 module and needs to be installed. My T-BEAM has the same GPIO pins for OLED_SSD1306 and BME280, and the BME280 is not working (I tried it before). I also need the BME280 to detect temperature. I can see the temperature through the Android app or another T-BEAM, so I removed OLED_SSD1306 and retained only the BME280.
The T-BEAM is packed in the factory packaging box, which makes installation easy.
I’m living in Quebec, Canada, where winter temperature sometime reach -30 degree C …
Is there anyone who manage to use GPIO (with a script) to control an external device (like a small 5 Watt heatings mat) when that sensor detect temperature bellow a certain point ?
That will be awsome, and allow people to install those device in very cold location (As the Lora Chips is limited to -20 degree)
Unless it’s already implemented somewhere in the firmware, but didn’t find it yet…
I think hardware management is limited to this (remote control from another Meshtastic Device) for now.
I’m also looking for ways to give it more autonomy.
