KosmoConnect
A Church of Kosmo Technology Project
KosmoConnect is a hybrid environmental monitoring and emergency communication platform built by the Church of Kosmo on the Meshtastic open mesh protocol. It consists of a network of solar-powered, stationary environmental stations that collect long-term weather data while simultaneously acting as relay nodes for a resilient, off-grid communication network serving the Church of Kosmo community and beyond.
About Church of Kosmo
The Church of Kosmo is committed to building resilient, community-owned infrastructure. KosmoConnect is our flagship technology project, combining environmental stewardship with decentralized emergency communications.
Objectives
1. Enviro-Node Network
Build and deploy a network of solar-powered environmental monitoring stations ("enviro-nodes") that:
- Collect weather and environmental data (temperature, humidity, pressure, wind, air quality, etc.)
- Communicate over Meshtastic mesh radio
- Relay messages for other mesh clients
- Offload stored data to central infrastructure via multi-hop routing
- Operate autonomously year-round on solar power
- Are available as buildable/salable kits
2. Web-to-Mesh Gateway
Create a subscription-based web service that allows users to send messages to any node on the Kosmo mesh from devices without Meshtastic radios (e.g., web browsers, smartphones). Access is limited to paying subscribers and can be restricted per-network or per-node.
Repository Map
This is a monorepo tracking all components of the project. When individual components mature, they may be extracted into dedicated repositories. Boundaries are clearly marked.
