Thanks for a great project, i use it all the time. I do have a request. Is it possible to manage the device via USB on a raspberry pi or other computer system? I find phones very restrictive and most don't run python. I want to make a rpi 0 repeater and be able to via SSH into it to make changes or check status among other things that require root. Google and Apple are on the war path for rooted devices unlike a native linux system that i own.

Thanks for hearing me out.

The only thing I can suggest is possibly waiting for an alternative I still have on the drawing board. I have some experimental code for a 'gateway' node type which would be node 1, and instead of using the Ripple Commander app, the ESP32-based node would talk over WiFi to a MQTT server. That would enable remote access, with the most flexible number of options.
