Infrastructure Node
This directory contains the software for bridge nodes that connect the Meshtastic mesh to the internet.
Components
bridge-daemon/
The KosmoConnect Bridge Daemon is a Python service that runs on a Raspberry Pi (or any Linux host) connected to a Meshtastic device via USB.
What it does:
- Receives mesh packets and publishes them to the cloud MQTT broker
- Detects environmental data (JSON enviro packets) and routes them to
kosmo/ingest/enviro - Subscribes to
kosmo/mesh/outbound/#and injects web messages back into the mesh - Runs as a
systemdservice with auto-restart
See bridge-daemon/README.md for setup and RPi installation instructions.
firmware/
Placeholder for any custom firmware required specifically for the bridge radio (usually not needed; standard Meshtastic firmware works).
Recommended Bridge Hardware
| Device | Notes |
|---|---|
| LILYGO T-Beam 868/915MHz | Great for Pi USB bridge; ESP32 + GPS + LoRa |
| RAK4631 | Low power, nRF52840 based |
| LILYGO T-Deck | Can work if put into USB-serial mode; better used as a handheld mesh client |
Quick Test
If you have a T-Beam or T-Deck connected to your computer:
cd bridge-daemon
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
export MESHTASTIC_DEVICE=/dev/ttyUSB0 # adjust for your OS
export MQTT_HOST=localhost
python3 -m src.main
Send a text from any mesh node and watch it appear on kosmo/mesh/inbound in your MQTT broker.
