 # Mesh Bot for Network Testing and BBS Activities

-Welcome to the Mesh Bot project! This feature-rich bot is designed to enhance your [Meshtastic](https://meshtastic.org/docs/introduction/) network experience with a variety of powerful tools and fun features, connectivity and utility through text-based message delivery. Whether you're looking to perform network tests, send messages, or even play games, this bot has you covered.

 ## Key Features

 ### Intelligent Keyword Responder
- **Automated Responses**: The bot traps keywords like "ping" and responds with "pong" in direct messages (DMs) or group channels.
+- **Automated Responses**: The bot detects keywords like "ping" and responds with "pong" in direct messages (DMs) or group channels.
 - **Customizable Triggers**: Monitor group channels for specific keywords and set custom responses.
+- **Emergency Response**: Monitor channels for keywords indicating emergencies and alert a wider audience.
+
+### Network Tools
+- **Build, Test Local Mesh**: Ping allow for message delivery testing with more realistic packets vs. telemetry
+- **Test Node Hardware**: `test` will send incremental sized data into the radio buffer for overall length of message testing

 ### Dual Radio/Node Support
 - **Simultaneous Monitoring**: Monitor two networks at the same time.

 - **Send Mail**: Send mail to nodes using `bbspost @nodeNumber #message` or `bbspost @nodeShortName #message`.
+- **BBS Linking**: Combine multiple bots to expand BBS reach.
+- **E-Mail/SMS**: Send mesh-messages to E-Mail or SMS expanding visability.

For pico or low-powered devices, or [femtofox](https://github.com/noon92/femtofox) project for embedding, possibly see the [buildroot](https://github.com/buildroot-meshtastic/buildroot-meshtastic). 🥔 Please use responsibly and follow local rulings for such equipment. This project captures packets, logs them, and handles over the air communications which can include PII such as GPS locations.

 ### General Settings
-The following settings determine how the bot responds. By default, the bot will not spam the default channel. Setting `respond_by_dm_only` to `True` will force all messages to be sent via DM, which may not be desired. Setting it to [`False`] will allow responses in the channel for all to see. If you have no default channel you can set this value to `-1` or any unused channel index.

+```bash
+sox -t ogg WXR-RWT.ogg -esigned-integer -b16 -r 22050 -t raw - | multimon-ng -a EAS -v 1 -t raw - | python eas_alert_parser.py

 ### MQTT Notes
 There is no direct support for MQTT in the code, however, reports from Discord are that using [meshtasticd](https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/linux-native-hardware/) with no radio and attaching the bot to the software node, which is MQTT-linked, allows routing. There also seems to be a quicker way to enable MQTT by having your bot node with the enabled [serial](https://meshtastic.org/docs/configuration/module/serial/) module with echo enabled and MQTT uplink and downlink. These two methods have been mentioned as allowing MQTT routing for the project.
