Terminal Chat CLI

Below are the commands you can enter into the Terminal Chat clients:

CLI

set freq {frequency}

Set the LoRa frequency. Example: set freq 915.8

CLI

set tx {tx-power-dbm}

Sets LoRa transmit power in dBm.

CLI

set name {name}

CLI

set lat {latitude}

Sets your advertisement map latitude. (decimal degrees)

CLI

set lon {longitude}

CLI

set af {air-time-factor}

Note: set dutycycle is *not* available in Terminal Chat. Every other firmware — Repeater, Room Server, Sensor and Companion Radio — routes its set/get commands through the shared radio prefs handler and does support it (see CLI Commands). Terminal Chat is the sole exception: it has its own inline set handler covering only the six options listed above.
