Swiss MeshCore Channels

Channels in MeshCore are like groups which you can join with your companion nodes. Everybody can create channels directly from within the MeshCore App. The most important one is called "Public" and it is added by default, however, you can leave it if you need to for some reason.

These are technically flood messages, meaning messages are not sent via a specific path but are spread over repeaters across the full mesh. You can see which path a message took to you, and you will also know which repeaters close by repeated a message you sent, but unlike with direct messages there is no confirmation that your message actually arrived anywhere.

It is important to understand that Channels starting with "#" are not encrypted, everybody can read along.

You can add these channels using the MeshCore App, either manually with the Secret Key below or by scanning the QR code.

If you want any channels added to the list, let us know via the Swiss MeshCore Community or the Contact Form on this page.
