Easy SkyMesh uses Meshtastic nodes with Tracker role to track personnels and assets in the mesh network. A Meshtastic tracker is a node that is configured to automatically broadcast its GPS location at intervals — ideal for tracking people, vehicles, pets, or equipment in off-grid or remote environments.
How it works
A node with tracker role will:
- Wake up periodically
- Get a GPS fix
- Broadcast its location message to the mesh
- May go back to sleep to save battery
- Do NOT relay messages from other nodes
Usecases
- Outdoor Adventure & Safety
- Vehicle & Asset Tracking without SIM cards or Wi-Fi
- Livestock & Animal Tracking
- Emergency & Disaster Response
- Scientific & Hobbyist Projects
- Travel Groups or Expeditions
- Industrial & Construction Sites
- Mesh-Aware IoT Devices
Recommended devices
It is recommended to use commercial trackers for commercial projects for better reliability and support.
- Commercial trackers: WisMesh Pocket V2, WisMesh Pocket Mini and SenseCAP Card Tracker T1000-E
- DIY trackers: Yes, you can still set Tracker role for DIY nodes to act as Meshtastic Trackers.
Enjoy.
