Mesh-AI Is Here! How to Run AI on Meshtastic (No Internet Needed)

Title: Deploy AI on Meshtastic Mesh Networks with MeshAI (v0.5.1 Beta) — Full Tutorial 🚀 Mesh-AI is finally here! In this video, I’ll show you how to run AI on your Meshtastic network with no internet required — perfect for homelab, IoT, and self-hosting fans. GitHub and a HUGE thank you to Mr. Tbot for all his hard work on this project, show him some LOVE folks! https://github.com/mr-tbot/mesh-ai Description: In today’s video, I’m going to walk you through how to set up and deploy Mesh-AI on your Meshtastic mesh network. If you’re into homelab projects, experimenting with IoT devices, or diving deep into the world of self-hosting, this tutorial is for you. We’ll cover installation, configuration, integrations, and real-world use cases so you can start running AI right inside your LoRa mesh channels. Meshtastic Buying List 🌐 What is Mesh-AI? Mesh-AI is an open-source project that combines LoRa mesh networking with the power of artificial intelligence. It acts as a bridge between your Meshtastic network and AI models, letting you interact with chatbots and automation directly through your radios.

On top of that, it offers built-in features that make it extremely versatile: Slash commands for quick AI interaction (/ai, /whereami, /emergency). A sleek WebUI dashboard where you can view conversations, check logs, and monitor your nodes. Home Assistant integration, perfect for smart home or homelab automation. SMS and email alerts using Twilio or SMTP. Discord integration, routing AI or emergency responses directly into your chat server. GPS-enabled emergency alerts with location, timestamps, and optional links. Whether you’re experimenting in your lab, setting up IoT sensors, or just want to self-host your own off-grid assistant, Mesh-AI has you covered. ⚙️ What You’ll Learn in This Tutorial Getting Started Cloning the Mesh-AI GitHub repository. Preparing your system for Windows, Linux, or Docker deployment. Installation & Setup Creating a Python virtual environment. Installing all dependencies with pip install -r requirements.txt. Configuration Editing config.json to select your AI provider (Ollama, LM-Studio, or OpenAI). Enabling optional integrations for Home Assistant, Discord, SMS, and Email Launching Mesh-AI Running via .bat file on Windows, a direct Python call on Linux, or Docker Compose for containerized setups. Accessing the WebUI Dashboard at http://localhost:5000/dashboard. Using Mesh-AI in Real Time Sending AI prompts directly over Meshtastic channels. Running /emergency commands to send GPS-tagged SOS alerts. Routing responses into Home Assistant automations, Discord chats, or even to phones with Twilio. Checking logs (script.log, messages.log) for debugging. 🔧 Why It Matters This project is more than just a neat experiment. It’s a real example of how IoT and AI are converging in the self-hosting space. Imagine being out in the wilderness, off-grid, but still able to ask your local AI assistant for information, automation, or even emergency communication. Or picture a homelab setup where Mesh-AI connects Meshtastic radios to Home Assistant, automating alerts whenever a message or sensor event happens. Mesh-AI is not just about AI over radio—it’s about resilience, decentralization, and giving builders, makers, and experimenters the tools to explore next-generation IoT solutions in their own environments. 📚 Resources GitHub Repo: mr-tbot/mesh-ai Current Release: v0.5.1 Beta Link to my .bat file - Link to setting up Python - https://www.python.org/downloads/ My Other Homelab Videos    • Home Lab Setup for Beginners - Everything ...      • The N150 Mini PC That's the Perfect Budget...      • DIY Cloud Storage: Build Your Own NAS      • I Chose UNRAID Over TrueNas for My DIY NAS...      • Build Your Own Multi Sensor with ESP32 and...   By the end of this tutorial, you’ll have AI running on your Meshtastic mesh network—answering questions, routing alerts, and integrating with your smart home or IoT stack.
