OSHI already works phone-to-phone with no internet. A LoRa node takes that from across the street to across the valley — and OSHI treats it as just another way your messages travel.
Not "longer range" — numbers. Each transport keeps working when the one above it runs out.
Four steps. No radio documentation, no terminal.
A Heltec V3 is the one we develop against. Anything in the table below speaks the same language.
Plug it into a computer with a USB cable and flash it from a Chromium-based browser. After this you never need the cable again.
OSHI finds the node over Bluetooth by itself. You press Connect once.
Your phone now uses Bluetooth, Wi-Fi Direct, LoRa and the internet as needed. You never pick one.
Every board here uses the same Bluetooth interface, so OSHI treats them identically. The Verified badge means we ran it against OSHI on real hardware — not that the datasheet says it should work.
OSHI is not locked to one firmware. The app talks to nodes through a firmware-neutral contract, so a second family is an adapter rather than a rewrite.
⚙️ The one-click OSHI flasher is being built. Until it ships, flash Meshtastic with its official web flasher — OSHI pairs with it today, and a node you flash now keeps working when OSHI firmware arrives. flash.meshtastic.org →
