Acceptable values:
| Value | Description |
| :-------------: | :----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| `CLIENT` | Client (default) - App connected client. |
| :-------------: | :-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------: |
| `CLIENT` | Client (default) - This role will follow the standard routing rules while also allowing the device to interact with client applications via BLE/Wi-Fi (Android/Apple/Web). |
| `CLIENT_MUTE` | Client Mute - Same as a client except packets will not hop over this node, does not contribute to routing packets for mesh. |
| `ROUTER` | Router - Mesh packets will prefer to be routed over this node. The assumption is that Router-type devices will be placed in locations with a height/range/antenna advantage, and therefore have better overall coverage. This node will not be used by client apps. The WiFi/Bluetooth radios and the OLED screen will be put to sleep. Please note: Due to the preferred routing, this role may cause higher power usage due to more frequent transmission. |
| `ROUTER_CLIENT` | Router Client - Hybrid of the Client and Router roles. Similar to Router, except the Router Client can be used as both a Router and an app connected Client. WiFi/Bluetooth and OLED screen will not be put to sleep. |
| `ROUTER` | Router - Mesh packets will prefer to be routed over this node. The assumption is that Router-type devices will be placed in locations with a height/range/antenna advantage, and therefore have better overall coverage. This node will not be used by client apps. The BLE/Wi-Fi radios and the OLED screen will be put to sleep. Please note: Due to the preferred routing, this role may cause higher power usage due to more frequent transmission. |
| `ROUTER_CLIENT` | Router Client - Hybrid of the Client and Router roles. Similar to Router, except the Router Client can be used as both a Router and an app connected Client. BLE/Wi-Fi and OLED screen will not be put to sleep. |
| `REPEATER`[^1] | Repeater - Mesh packets will be rebroadcast by this device without showing the device as part of the mesh network. This role is useful for a cleaner mesh setup where users do not need information about the Repeater node, or to prevent direct messaging to an unmonitored Repeater. Channel and modem settings must be identical to the mesh network being repeated. Please see Rebroadcast Mode for additional settings specific to this role.[^1] |
| `TRACKER`[^1] | Tracker - For use with devices intended as a GPS tracker. Position packets sent from this device will be higher priority, with position broadcasting every two minutes. Smart Position Broadcast will default to off.[^1] |
