-==== Meshtastic Channel Configuration ====+==== Enable MQTT Forwarding ====
  
-  * Meshtastic channels are logical channels (like Telegram channels, WhatsApp groups) +Because we don't currently have enough nodes in Singapore to form a full mesh, we need to enable MQTT forwarding to use the Internet as a backhaul to forward messages between isolated nodes and meshes. The node must either be connected to Wi-Fi directly (mesh router-client to MQTT bridge), or be paired with an Android or iOS device with "MQTT Client Proxy" enabled (mobile node).
-    * Primary - Telemetry and position data +
-    * Secondary - Free to use, up to 7 channels +
-    * Channel named “admin” is a special channel used to configure nodes over the mesh +
-  * Name and encryption configured per-channel +
-  * Shareable as QR code or a deeplink URL+
  
-**Creating a Private 9V1 Primary Channel with Default Secondary Channel**+In future, when a full mesh is formed, MQTT can be disabled for a truly decentralized and private mesh, or left enabled as a backup in case of dead zones in the mesh.
  
-Motivations:+**Your personal data (sensor, position, telemetry, etc.) are sent out to the public Internet with this configuration.
  
-  * Encrypt the primary channel with a private name +Disable the MQTT module if you are not comfortable with this. You can also decrease position precision in each channel's settings, and Position → Map Report.**
-    * Don't send plaintext GPS position messages over MQTT forwarding +
-    * Don't send plaintext telemetry over MQTT forwarding +
-  * Connectivity with SG_923 Meshtastic users on the default SG_923 LongFast channel +
-  * Rebroadcast public SG_923 Meshtastic traffic +
- +
-Steps (the easy way): +
- +
-  - [[user:andrew|Contact me]] for the channel URL +
-  - Install the channel and LoRa settings with the URL +
-    * **Android/iOS Client**: Open the link on the same device as the Meshtastic app and accept the settings +
-    * **Python CLI**: ''%%meshtastic --seturl '[channel url]'%%'' +
- +
-Steps (the hard way, adapted from [[https://meshtastic.org/docs/configuration/tips/#creating-a-private-primary-with-default-secondary|Creating a Private Primary with Default Secondary]]): +
- +
-  - Ensure you have not changed the LoRa [[https://meshtastic.org/docs/configuration/radio/lora/#modem-preset|Modem Preset]] from the default ''unset''/''LONG_FAST'' +
-  - On your PRIMARY channel, set channel name to ''9V1'' and set encryption key ([[user:andrew|contact me]] for it) +
-  - Configure and enable a SECONDARY channel named ''LongFast'' with PSK ''AQ=='' +
-  - If your LoRa channel is at the default (''0''), the radio's frequency will be automatically changed based on your PRIMARY channel's name. In this case, you will have to manually set it back to your region's default (in LoRa settings) in order to interface with users on the default channel: +
