Beskrivelse
Mesh-Plug provides a simple shortcode that connects to your MQTT broker over WebSocket and prints incoming messages to a live log.
Shortcode: [mesh_plug]
External services
Mesh-Plug can connect to external services depending on how you configure and use it.
MQTT broker (configured by the site administrator)
Mesh-Plug connects directly from the visitor’s browser to the MQTT broker WebSocket URL you enter in Settings Mesh-Plug.
This is required for the plugin to receive and display Meshtastic/MQTT messages.
Data sent: the visitor’s browser establishes a WebSocket connection to your broker; it may send a client ID and (optionally) the username/password you configured; it subscribes to the topic filter you configured.
When: whenever a page containing the [mesh_plug] shortcode is loaded and the user connects (or auto-connect is enabled).
Terms/Privacy: this depends on the broker provider you choose. If you use a third-party MQTT hosting provider, review their terms and privacy policy.
OpenStreetMap raster tiles (tile.openstreetmap.org)
If you use the Map tab, Mesh-Plug downloads map tiles from OpenStreetMap’s tile server to render the basemap.
Data sent: standard HTTP requests for map tiles; this typically includes the visitor’s IP address, user agent, and the requested tile coordinates.
When: whenever the Map tab is opened/visible and the map needs to load tiles.
