# hermes-meshtastic

Meshtastic LoRa mesh gateway platform adapter plugin for Hermes Agent.

Allows bidirectional communication between Hermes AI agent profiles and off-grid Meshtastic nodes (e.g., Heltec V4, T-Beam, LilyGO) over 915 MHz LoRa mesh radio.

## Features
- Connects directly to local Meshtastic radio via TCP (e.g. `meshtastic.local:4403`).
- Subscribes to LoRa text messages on designated channel index (e.g. Channel 1 `# private` with AES-256).
- Direct Message (1-on-1) routing between Meshtastic Node IDs and Hermes agent sessions.
- Automatic message chunking and markdown stripping to fit within LoRa RF packet budgets (<180 chars).
- Automatic reconnection with exponential backoff.
