Greetings, thanks for sharing this. Are these devices stable enough to run 24/7…always wanted to tinker with it but didn’t really know where to start.

I love the idea of these things, but I have no one to talk to with them.

The only thing I see missing from their build is a wrap of some kind of sealing tape on the SMA connector. Those bulkhead connectors are sealed to the housing they're installed in but the threaded connection to the antenna is NOT sealed and will eventually corrode if/when moisture gets inside.

I wonder where I could buy these lights outside US. I’ve seen them mentioned in some meshtastic builds, but I guess it’s a brand only available in the states.

If you have access to 5v power you can do it for even cheaper
It looks like he used meshcore with a lot of the testing. I wonder how this would have changed if he used meshtastic?

This sounds fun, but a nearly 40 minute YouTube video is, for me, the worst way to go about finding out how to build the thing. More websites, less Google please.

We have a really impressive mesh in Utah. Living in a valley between mountains has its perks.
