Live Mesh Dashboard (Heltec v4 – Southern California)
This page connects directly to my Heltec v4 Meshtastic node here in Southern California.
When the network is active, you will see live Node data appear as map positions, Channel chat, temp data (when available), etc.
This install currently feeds from the default Meshtastic channel, but users have the ability to add their private channels allowing a lot of use case scenarios.
What kind of use scenarios?
A way for your users to monitor various local/private Meshtastic channels…
- Neighborhood Groups
- Node Discovery
- Running & Hiking Events
- Hunting Parties
- Wardriving
- Misc. remote event reporting to WP

Need MQTT? Check out the-link-builders.com for reliable TLS enabled MQTT subscriptions.
01.21.2026: Mesh-Plug has been accepted into the WordPress plugin repository. DOWNLOAD
01.15.2026: Officially submitted to the WordPress plugin repository. There are about 250 plugins in line in front of me, so, we wait.
01.13.2026: Running through the final plugin edits so we can submit to WordPress. Also, currently offering MQTT subscriptions for those who do not want the hassle of setting up an MQTT but want to dip their toes into IoT protocols.
01.11.2026: Added some new help docs, Connectivity Checklist, Local User/Event Settings and Known-Good Baseline Settings. The beta launch is getting closer.
01.10.2026: After a couple rough spots we are communicating via Mesh-Plug again. Tightening down the GPS is on the agenda before launch. Turns out, GPS can jump from Los Alamitos to Northridge pretty easy on the Heltec. Beta download will probably be available next week.
01.07.2026: Getting closer to launching the MQTT Bridge that will make Mesh-Plug set up a ton easier for the average user. Dashboard tests are positive.
01.06.2026: Now with better telemetry, more Node info, and a cleaner plugin settings page. The beta download for Mesh-Plug is getting closer, submission to WordPress not long after.
01.05.2026: Mesh-Plug displays live updates in real time using MQTT! I am refining the UI/UX, but hope to have the finished plugin approved by WordPress in early February 2026.
