Mesh Mate

Mesh Mate brings your LoRa mesh sensor network into Homey. If you run a LoRa gateway with MQTT enabled, the app connects to your broker and turns every node on your network into a Homey device with live temperature, humidity, pressure, battery and voltage readings. Configure your broker once in the app settings, then choose which nodes become devices. The app learns your network automatically from the traffic on the MQTT channel, so there is nothing to configure on the nodes themselves. It works with Meshtastic gateways that publish JSON telemetry over MQTT, and lets you react to the messages on your network from your Homey Flows. Mesh Mate trusts your MQTT broker. The mesh protocol itself does not authenticate packets, so anyone with access to the broker can publish fake telemetry or fake direct messages. Use TLS (port 8883 with the "Use TLS" setting on) to keep the broker connection encrypted. Set the "Gateway node ID (override)" field in the app settings to pin which node the app treats as your gateway; this prevents a hostile broker from poisoning that choice and makes direct-message detection reliable.
