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"
