connecting
Meshtastic to Telegram is generally considered easier than connecting to Bluesky or Matrix because Telegram has a long-standing, robust bot API and several ready-made open-source bridge projects specifically for Meshtastic.
1. The "Direct Bot" Method (Easiest)
While Bluesky requires more complex AT Protocol handling, you can use dedicated Python-based gateways to link a Meshtastic node directly to a Telegram bot.

How it works: You run a noscript on a computer (like a Raspberry Pi) connected to your Meshtastic node via USB or Wi-Fi. The noscript uses a Telegram Bot Token to forward messages between the mesh and a specific Telegram chat or group.
Popular Tool: meshtastic-telegram-gateway is a widely used project that passes user nicks in both directions, making it feel like a seamless chat.

2. The "Matrix Bridge" Method (Most Versatile)
If you already use a Matrix homeserver, you can "chain" your connections. Because Matrix has high-quality bridges for almost everything, you can setup:
Meshtastic → Matrix → Telegram

This is "easy" if you are already in the Matrix ecosystem, as it allows you to manage multiple platforms (Discord, WhatsApp, Telegram) from a single mesh gateway.
However, setting up a full Matrix bridge (like Mautrix-Telegram) is significantly more complex than just running a simple Telegram bot noscript.

4. Implementation Steps for Telegram

Create Bot: Message @BotFather on Telegram to get your API Token.
Hardware: Connect your Meshtastic node to a PC/Pi via USB or use its IP address if it's on your Wi-Fi.
Run Gateway: Download a project like meshtastic-telegram-bot, enter your token in the config file, and run the noscript.
