Newbie here.
I installed meshchat on my hap lite router, and the setup page indicates that it was installed. What do I have to do to invoke or start it?
In a possibly related question the "mesh" box in the setup screen is unchecked for both my router and my LGH5 antenna. what does that mean? I do not seem to be able to change it and have it saved.
Thanks!

Hi, Greg:
You need a version of meshchat-api.ipk running on the node that has meshchat.ipk installed on it.
You need to Advertise the Service in /cgi-bin/ports
I run meshchat v1.02 on a RaspberryPi and it is a Service on my Ubiquiti Loco M2.
I hope someone that is running meshchat on a node will follow up on your post.
My 'Mesh RF' box on the node running meshchat is not checked.
The 'mesh' box on the /cgi-bin/setup page: not being able to change it and save
should be a separate issue/post.

But if you need a new meshchat ... install the latest package 2.12.0 on your node. Then go to port forwarding etc and advertise it with port 8080. I seem to think it automatically puts itself into your port forwarding advertised services list ... with a generic name which you can change to whatever you want. It will sync with any other meshchat that has the same advertised name on your local mesh network.
