✨ Features

  • Auto-discovery – All contacts advertised by the mesh are automatically discovered and tracked
  • Self-node Telemetry – Battery, voltage, RSSI, SNR, noise floor, uptime, airtime and packet counters
  • Remote Node Status – Online/offline detection, SNR, hops and last-seen for every discovered contact
  • Message Inbox – Every received LoRa message appears in Domoticz with sender, channel and timestamp
  • Send Messages – Send direct or channel messages from Domoticz or the dashboard
  • Custom Dashboard – Built-in real-time dark-mode dashboard with node cards, message history and compose bar
  • Node Map – Interactive Leaflet map with GPS coordinates, path lines and activity heatmap
  • Historical Analytics – RSSI, SNR, packet volume, top relay keys and per-channel stats (SQLite-backed, 30-day window)
  • DM Threads – Per-contact conversation history with delivery ACK markers
  • Heard Nodes – Track and filter non-contact adverts with bulk purge
  • Coverage & LoS Tools – Terrain-aware propagation map and per-link path-profile chart
  • dzVents Bridge – React to LoRa commands from any mesh node via dzVents Lua scripts
  • Push Events – Incoming messages, adverts and status responses in real time
  • Auto-reconnect – Automatic reconnect on connection loss; stale-link detection after 10 min

⚙️ Installation

Minimum: Domoticz build 17956 (2025.2.17956) · Python 3.6+ · pip install meshcore

cd ~/domoticz/plugins
git clone https://github.com/galadril/Domoticz-MeshCore-Plugin.git MeshCore   # folder name is just a convention
cd MeshCore
pip install -r requirements.txt
sudo service domoticz.sh restart

Then go to Setup → Hardware and add a new entry of type MeshCore.

Docker: add pip3 install meshcore (or pip3 install --break-system-packages meshcore on Debian 12) to your customstart.sh hook so it persists across image rebuilds.

For full configuration options, device reference, and the custom dashboard guide see the documentation site.

🔄 Updating

cd ~/domoticz/plugins/MeshCore
git pull
sudo service domoticz.sh restart

DomoticzEx migration: if upgrading from an old version, delete orphaned per-node devices via Setup → Devices (filter by MeshCore hardware). The plugin recreates them automatically. See docs for details.
