Not sending requested config change over remote admin device #495

Closed isaacbentley closed 6 months ago

isaacbentley commented 7 months ago

Description When using the standalone CLI for Windows and pip installed for Linux using the --dest !<device ID> it's not setting the configuration as expected.

Reproduction steps

  1. Download https://github.com/meshtastic/python/releases/download/2.2.22/meshtastic_windows.
  2. Execute the downloaded file with the --dest parameter (via USB)
  3. Results in executing the commands such as --setlat and --setlon successfully but it configures the local device, not the remote device as targeted in the --dest command.

Notes Verified that I'm able to remote configure remote devices via IOS & Andriod applications.

I'm pretty sure that's expected behavior. If I recall --setlat and --setlon can't be used with the --dest command. --dest only works with --set and --get commands.

The docs page for this doesn't really make that clear. I'm working on an update for that page, I'll be sure to document it better.

Thank you for the quick response! I'll try to update the location by your suggestion and update this comment

Update: Looks like I'm not able to update the lat/lon with the --set command due it not being in the LocalConfig and LocalModuleConfig list of attributes.

Update #2: For completeness for anyone stumbling on my comments, I saw a comment on a website that described that one could use the C# Meshtastic CLI client. This was successful, was able to remotely configure a device with a fixed position.

Remote location configuration is not available as it would allow nodes to change each other's location
