Meshtastic is neat and I always contemplate building a node for fun. However, I've yet to see many practical uses for it beyond maybe texting while hiking.
Well I had many blogs about how to add sensors etc. Mostly I personally use it as walkie talkie but also I have seen people use it as a tracker for pets, and motion sensors at home maybe. I use it for temp sensor in each room in a handheld and I will take out for hikes etc.
