@ -30,6 +30,24 @@ Acceptable values:
| `CLIENT_HIDDEN` | Client Hidden - Used for nodes that "only speak when spoken to." Turns off all of the routine broadcasts but allows for ad-hoc communication. Still rebroadcasts, but with local only rebroadcast mode (known meshes only). Can be used for clandestine operation or to dramatically reduce airtime / power consumption |
| `LOST_AND_FOUND` | Lost and Found - Used to automatically send a text message with current position at frequent intervals to the primary channel for the device: "I'm lost! Position: lat / long" |
