Bit of a story, but I have a very remote off grid homestead that I need to be able to monitor when I am not there.? ?I have starlink, but when the snow is heavy and covers the dish it doesn't always work.? Plus it takes quite a bit of power and again, when the snow covers the panels it can and does fail due to lack of power.

?

Using a Yausu Ft-2980 coupled to a RasberryPi using a digirig, I built a flow that monitors key systems, and send the telemetry data over the air to one of the local digipeaters.? ?No internet required and I can see the data from anywhere.

?

The basic approach is for NodeRed to write the data in APRS formatted files, where the kissutil watches them and sends the packets to direwolf, which then sends them out.? ?It would be easy to cut out the kissutil and send the data directly to direwolf, but it was a lot easier to troubleshoot the packets when I could see them in files.

?

I'd be happy to post the flow or help anyone setup something similar.

?

? has the end results.?

Hi Kevin. I would appreciate it if you would post the flow for the APRS telemetry data manipulation. I am in similar circumstances with our offgrid cabin in Northern Arizona.

Thanks...

Hi Kevin,

?

I’d love to see your flow as well. My remote station is a 2 hour drive away. It would be great to troubleshoot why it went offline with telemetry via APRS.?

Following too.? I'd like to monitor a property via APRS.? Not only I'd like to send APRS packets with info attached, I'd love to see the flow on the receiving side polling APRS.FI to gather that info into Node Red.

Opps.? I didn't realize anyone had responded.? I guess I expected an email or something.

?

I'm happy to share, Is there a proper way to post a flow?

?

I posted the files on github

?

"github.com:SkyMoCo/RanchShared.git"

?

Includes the flow and the kissutil systemd file.? ? It connects to my local direwolf.
