[Feature Request] Meshtastic integration #42

Would be nice to be able to launch an app to be able to interface with the meshtastic mesh networks. This would make the phone much more viable as an actual off-grid (text strings) communication device.

Do note that the WiPhone uses the Radiohead library which adds an extra header (that is not used by the WiPhone).

Meshtastic migrated away from Radiohead towards Radiolib in 2020, so it might be a fair amount of work to make it compatible (maybe it even needs a fork)

You can find the details of the current WiPhone protocol here (shameless plug). OpenMQTTGateway supports the WiPhone since v.1.5.0 and although it isn't mesh, it opens up the possibility to use MQTT to do some automation on it.

I would personally also really like to see mesh capabilities coming to the WiPhone, but I currently don't have the time to look into it.
