How Auto-Reply Rules Work
Auto-reply rules let your Meshtastic node automatically respond to specific messages from other nodes without requiring your intervention.
Creating Effective Rules
When creating a rule, consider these factors:
- Trigger Type: Choose between containing text, exact match, or regular expressions.
- Response Text: Use dynamic placeholders like
{name}
or{battery_level}
to include real-time information. - Cooldown Period: Prevent spam by setting a cooldown period between responses to the same node.
Common Use Cases
- Status Check: Create a rule with "status?" as the trigger to return battery level and signal information.
- Node Information: Set up a rule for "who?" to return your node's details.
- Location Sharing: Configure a rule with "where?" to automatically send your GPS coordinates.
- Automated Help: Create a "help" trigger that lists available commands on your node.
Tips for Advanced Rules
For more precise matching, use regular expressions:
- Use
^ping$
to match only the exact word "ping" (no partial matches) - Use
temp(erature)?
to match both "temp" and "temperature" - Use
status|info
to trigger on either "status" or "info"
