Messages & Channels

Meshtastic toetab kahte suhtlusreΕΎiimi: kanalite levitamine ja otsesΓ΅numid.

Kanal

Channels are shared communication groups. KΓ΅ik sama kanalivΓ΅tmega seadistatud sΓ΅lmed saavad sellel kanalil sΓ΅numeid lugeda ja saata.

Default Channel

Igal Meshtastic seadmel on vaikimisi PikkKauge kanal. This is an unencrypted channel used for general mesh communication.

Kanali turvalisus

Channels support multiple encryption levels:

Adding a Channel

1. Mine SΓ€tted β†’ Kanalid.
2. Puuduta Lisa kanal vΓ΅i skanni QR-koodi.
3. Configure the channel name and encryption key.
4. Share the channel URL/QR code with others who need access.

Direct Messages

Direct messages (DMs) are point-to-point encrypted communications between two specific nodes.

Sending a Direct Message

1. Open the Messages tab.
2. Vali kontaktide loendist sΓ΅lm vΓ΅i puuduta sΓ΅lme loendis.
3. Tippi oma sΓ΅num ja puuduta nuppu Saada.

Message Features

Quick Chat

Eelsalvestatud sΓ΅numid kiireks suhtluseks:

β€’ Access via the Quick Chat button in the message input area
β€’ Choose from built-in phrases or custom messages
β€’ Customize quick chat messages in Settings β†’ Quick Chat
β€’ Kasulik, kui trΓΌkkimine on ebapraktiline (kindad, vΓ€ike ekraan, kiireloomuline)


Igal kiirvestluse kirjel on lΓΌhike Nimi (nupu silt), SΓ΅num, mille see lisab, ja Saada kohe lΓΌliti – kui see on lubatud, saadetakse nupu puudutamisel sΓ΅num kohe, selle asemel et see sisestada sisestusvΓ€ljale redigeerimiseks:


The channel list shows each channel with its latest message preview.

Searching Messages

You can search the full history of any conversation directly from the chat screen:

1. Open a conversation (a channel or a direct message).
2. Puuduta ΓΌlemisel ribal otsinguikooni.
3. Type into the Search messages… field. The search runs as you type, across all stored messages in that conversation.
4. Use the N / M result counter and the previous / next arrows to jump between matches, which are highlighted in the conversation.


β”‚ πŸ’‘ Vihje: Otsing toimub tΓ€isteksti pΓ΅hjal ja jÀÀb vestlusse, kust sa selle avasid – see ei otsi
β”‚ teistest kanalitest ega kontaktide hulgast. Matching is fast even on long histories because
β”‚ messages are indexed locally.

Message Bubbles

Messages appear as chat bubbles β€” sent messages on the right, received messages on the left. Each bubble shows the sender, timestamp, and delivery status. Messages with replies include a quoted preview of the original message above the response.

Reactions

React to messages with emoji:

β€’ Long-press a message to open the actions menu
β€’ Emotikoni valimiseks puuduta Lisa reaktsioon
β€’ Reactions appear below the message bubble
β€’ Multiple users can react to the same message
β€’ React to your own messages or others' messages


β”‚ πŸ’‘ Vihje: Reaktsioonid on kerged – need kasutavad tΓ€istekstisΓ΅numitega vΓ΅rreldes minimaalselt
β”‚ vΓ΅rgu ribalaiust.

Message Actions

Long-press any message to access:

β€’ Copy β€” copy message text to clipboard
β€’ Reply β€” quote the message in your response
β€’ React β€” add an emoji reaction
β€’ Delete β€” remove a message you sent (local deletion)

Message Priority

Messages are queued and transmitted based on priority:

1. Emergency/alert messages (highest)
2. Direct messages
3. Kanalite levitamine (madalaim)

Message Limits

β€’ Maximum length: 200 bytes (approximately 200 characters for ASCII text)
β€’ Rate limiting: The mesh enforces airtime fairness; heavy message volume may be throttled
β€’ Delivery: Messages are retried automatically if no acknowledgment is received

Best Practices

β€’ Use channels for group coordination
β€’ Use direct messages for private person-to-person communication
β€’ Keep messages short β€” mesh bandwidth is limited
β€’ Configure encryption for sensitive communications
