Debug firmware + MeshCoreToMQTT
Use this if
you're happy to flash a debug build and keep a small always-on computer
(like a Raspberry Pi) attached to a node to relay its output.
Flash a debug-enabled build (prebuilt images are available), connect
the node to a computer, and run MeshCoreToMQTT to forward what it sees
to your MQTT broker(s).

Capture packets from a companion radio
Use this if
you have a companion radio you'd rather not reflash, and want a computer
to read it over USB, TCP, or serial.
Point the packet-capture tool at a companion radio from any computer.
It reads the mesh traffic the companion hears and uplinks it. No
dedicated observer firmware is required.

MeshCore Bot with PacketCapture
Use this if
you're running the MeshCore Bot (or want its other features) and want it
to observe the mesh at the same time.
The bot's built-in PacketCapture service module reads mesh traffic and
can uplink it, so a single MeshCore Bot deployment doubles as an
observer.

OpenHop software repeater
Use this if
you're comfortable running Python and want one process to act as
repeater and observer while also hosting a room server and virtual
companions.
OpenHop is a Python implementation of MeshCore. A single instance
repeats and observes mesh traffic while also hosting a room server and
virtual companions, putting several roles on one always-on machine.

Remote Terminal for MeshCore
Use this if
you want a point-and-click web UI to operate a companion node, with mesh
observing included as a bonus.
A browser-based terminal for driving a companion node over the web. It
also works as an observer, so you get remote control and mesh
monitoring from the same interface.

MeshCore in Home Assistant
Use this if
you run Home Assistant and want your mesh data (nodes, messages, and
telemetry) available as entities on your dashboard.
The meshcore-ha integration connects a MeshCore node to Home Assistant,
so you can observe mesh activity and automate on it alongside the rest
of your smart home.
