## an API for Meshtastic devices
Primary class: StreamInterface
Install with pip: &#34;pip3 install meshtastic&#34;
Source code on [github](https://github.com/meshtastic/Meshtastic-python)
properties of StreamInterface:
- radioConfig - Current radio configuration and device settings, if you write to this the new settings will be applied to
the device.
- nodes - The database of received nodes. Includes always up-to-date location and username information for each
node in the mesh. This is a read-only datastructure.
- myNodeInfo - You probably don&#39;t want this.
## Published PubSub topics
We use a [publish-subscribe](https://pypubsub.readthedocs.io/en/v4.0.3/) model to communicate asynchronous events. Available
topics:
- meshtastic.connection.established - published once we&#39;ve successfully connected to the radio and downloaded the node DB
