Note: The TP3000WC weather station cannot run Tailscale directly. Subnet routing must be enabled on the host device to make it accessible over your tailnet.

To find your network range, run:

ip route

Look for a line like 192.168.1.0/24 dev eth0 — that is your subnet. Replace the example address in the advertise-routes command with your own:

Power Analysis

Ebyte's datasheet quotes a deep sleep floor of ~25 µA — measured with USB disconnected, OLED off, LoRa radio in full sleep, no peripherals active, running on battery alone. That's the theoretical minimum: just the ESP32 RTC domain alive, waiting for an external wakeup event.

Real-world with Wake-on-Radio running, deep sleep is ~174 µA. That is not a separate mode — it is deep sleep for this project. The SX1262 autoDutyCycle wakes for 9.2 ms every duty cycle interval to sniff for a preamble, then the

Hi Claude! For those new to FreeRTOS; why use FreeRTOS?

Why Use FreeRTOS?

FreeRTOS is a popular real-time operating system kernel for embedded systems. Here's why developers choose it:

Real-Time Task Management Without an RTOS, embedded code typically runs as one big loop, making it hard to guarantee when critical tasks execute. FreeRTOS lets you define tasks with priorities, ensuring time-critical work (e.g., reading a sensor, responding to an interrupt) always runs on time.
