Thanks. You can also add a BME680 Sensor pack to meshtastic for air quality telemetry. As well as tVOC gas resistance (air quality), it also includes temperature, humidity, and barometric pressure data.

@@technologymasterkam Did you see on the Meshtastic website that there is a group of paragliders in India who are using Meshtastic for communications and safety for Pilots who fly in the Dhauladhar Range. 😊 There is a link to their website and telegram chat group in the local community page of Meshtastic.

I am not in favour of using Meshtastic for safety, SOS and emergency mobile use. In my opinion, Meshtastic is not that reliable. For safety and 911 purposes, in a limited budget, get satellite communicator (Garmin etc) or at least a VHF HT (with good repeater coverage).

@@technologymasterkam I completely agree. . . For off grid casual communications I'd have to say it is very practical. The mesh in our city is really taking off. There are more than 100 active nodes.
