notes about implementing remote admin using Meshtastic nodes
Raw
Meshtastic_Remote_Admin_Notes.md
  1. Refer to the docs page called Remote Node Administration
  2. Try a clean firmware install on just 2 nodes to start fresh. Doing this, and setting admin channel as below, should succeed.
  3. Ensure every node you want to administrate is using the 'admin' channel on channel index 1, for consistency.
    1. Tip: do this by using the --seturl command via CLI. meshtastic --seturl <long 'COMPLETE' url>
  4. Enable the admin channel using meshtastic --ch-index 1 --ch-enable --reboot
  5. Try turning off Power Saving using meshtastic --set power.is_power_saving false --reboot
  6. Try disabling sleep modes -- both Light and Deep Sleep -- by increasing the respective timeouts. I didn't see a change in reliability by doing this but maybe your hardware is different.
  7. Try setting primary to ShortFast using meshtastic --ch-shortfast
