Description

I raised this in the python section first and was referred back to firmware:

It is possible to request the following via CLI for a remote node:
--request-position (returns position co-ords & alt)
--request-telemetry (returns current device metrics)

Is it possible to add --request-environmental to query environmental metric data, when enabled?

Should already be in the firmware, would need to send a environment telemetry packet to a node as a a dm and request a response

Thanks Garth,
any idea what the syntax is for sending an environment telemetry packet is? - i did look and couldn't see anything that jumped out... Hence the post.

Replies are not yet implemented in the firmware for Environmental Telemetry.

This is marked as completed.
How do you intiate the query and what is the syntax, as i can't find any supporting documentation?
I was looking for a way to do this to a remote node, so is it via a DM, or CLI --request- command?

It's implemented in the firmware. You can send a packet with the corresponding telemetry tag and set want_response to true, then it will respond.

If you want to have it in the CLI, please open a feature request in that repository.

Did that there before raising it here.
