How it works:
Save this config and restart. The server will no longer try to open a serial port itself.
A WEB SERIAL button will appear in the topbar β click it to
open a guided wizard, pick your COM port, and the browser streams packets directly to the dashboard.
Requirements: Chrome or Edge 89+ Β· HTTPS or localhost Β· USB cable to radio
β ACTIVE SESSION
MQTT Bridge Mode
MeshDash connects to an MQTT broker and receives mesh packets published
by nodes or gateways. All channels, DMs, telemetry and node info are decoded
and stored exactly like a direct radio connection β source is tagged MQTT.
Note: MQTT_NODE_ID is optional. Without it the slot runs in observer mode (receive-only).

PUBLIC NETWORK FILTERS
Why use filters? Public MQTT brokers broadcast thousands of packets per minute. To prevent browser lockups and database bloating, we highly recommend filtering out background noise (like telemetry and encrypted packets you can't read).
