Home Screen Widget
On Android, Meshtastic provides a home screen widget that shows live local statistics from your connected radio at a glance — no need to open the app.
What It Shows
The widget displays the connected radio's current local stats:
- Battery — the radio's battery level, or Powered when running on external power
- ChUtil — channel utilization (how busy the LoRa channel is, as a percentage)
- AirUtil — airtime utilization (how much of the duty cycle your radio is transmitting)
- Traffic — packets transmitted / received, and duplicates seen
- Relays — packets relayed and relay cancellations (shown when the radio is relaying)
- Noise floor — the measured background noise level
- Dropped — packets the radio discarded
- Heap — free versus total memory on the radio, drawn as a bar
- Nodes — how many nodes are online, out of the total known
Tap the widget to open the app, or use its refresh control to request fresh stats.
ℹ️ Note: The values reflect the connected radio. If the radio disconnects, the widget replaces the stats with a status line — Disconnected, Connecting, or Device sleeping. It does not keep the last-known numbers on screen.
Adding the Widget
- Touch & hold an empty area of your Android home screen.
- Tap Widgets.
- Drag the Meshtastic widget to your home screen. The app ships one widget, so the picker entry is just the app name.
- Resize it as needed — the layout adapts to the available space.
ℹ️ Note: The widget is Android-only. It is not available on the Desktop or iOS builds.
