Florida Mesh Telemetry Is Now Live

We're excited to announce that the Florida Mesh Telemetry dashboard is now live! This new tool gives you real-time insights into our mesh network's health, activity, and coverage across Florida.

What is Malla?

Our telemetry system is powered by Malla, an open-source web analyzer built specifically for Meshtastic networks. Malla captures packets from our MQTT broker and presents them through an intuitive dashboard with powerful analytics.

What Can You See?

Visit Mesh Telemetry to explore:

Live network statistics - Track total nodes, active nodes, gateway diversity, and message volume
Interactive maps - Visualize node locations and RF links across Florida
Network graphs - See how packets route through the mesh with multi-hop visualizations
Signal analysis - Review RSSI/SNR distributions and identify longest links
Activity trends - Monitor 7-day network activity and protocol usage
Packet browser - Search and filter individual messages with export capabilities

Whether you're troubleshooting your node, planning new installations, or just curious about mesh activity in your area, the telemetry dashboard provides the data you need.

Check it out at malla.areyoumeshingwith.us and let us know what you think!

Want to Contribute?

Help us expand telemetry coverage across Florida! To see your node appear in Malla and contribute to the mesh network data:

For existing mesh participants:

Simply enable "OK to MQTT" in your LoRa settings
This allows nearby MQTT gateway nodes to upload your telemetry to the dashboard
Your node will appear on both the Florida Mesh Map and Malla within 15-30 minutes

Expand coverage by becoming a gateway:

Set up your node as an MQTT gateway to feed telemetry directly to our broker
Gateway nodes help relay data from other nodes in your area, significantly expanding network visibility
This is especially valuable in areas with limited existing coverage
