user-guide.md gains a full My Repeaters section (adding repeaters, saved passwords + the wrong-password/unreachable ambiguity, path editing, and the six management tools) and fixes the stale Quick Access placement list (now 12 items, real labels). architecture.md documents the /api/repeaters/* endpoint family with its shared error mapping, the repeaters DB table, and a DeviceManager subsection on serialization, login sessions, CLI reply correlation, settings batches and the actions whitelist. whatsnew.md adds three New features bullets, a Reliability note (console login reports role), and Deploy notes (meshcore>=2.3.7 rebuild, plaintext password trade-off). rpt-mgmt.md now points to the built-in panel first.

How to Manage Your Repeater
Note: mc-webui now ships a built-in repeater administration panel — My Repeaters in the main menu — with status, telemetry, neighbours, a remote CLI, settings, and actions. See My Repeaters in the user guide. The DM-based method below still works and remains useful as a fallback.
This guide explains how to manage a MeshCore repeater device directly from the mc-webui interface using Direct Messages.
1. Add Your Repeater to Contacts
-
Wait for your repeater's first
advert -
Click on the Contacts icon
-
Go to
Pending contactspanel
-
Search for your repeater on the list and approve it
-
Reset your search filter (it is recommended to leave COM selected only) and return to the main chat view
2. Login to Your Repeater and Initialize Conversation
-
Open the
mc-webui Console
-
Enter the
login <REPEATER_NAME> <password>command -
Type the
msg <REPEATER_NAME> "Hello"command (you can use any message text)
-
Return to the main chat view
3. Send Commands to Your Repeater
-
From the main chat view, click on the DM icon
-
Find your repeater's name on the list
-
Start sending commands to your repeater as if it were a regular DM conversation
For full commands reference, see Repeater & Room Server CLI Reference.
Note: Not all commands may work at the moment.
