:::warning
GPIO access is fundamentally dangerous because invalid options can physically damage or destroy your hardware. Ensure that you fully understand the schematic for your particular device before trying this as we do not offer a warranty. Use at your own risk.
The Telemetry Module provides two types of data over the mesh. Device metrics (Battery Level, Voltage, Channel Utilization and Airtime) from your meshtastic device and Environement Metrics from attached I2C sensors.
The telemetry module config options are: Device Metrics Update Interval, Environment Metrics Update Interval, Environement Telemetry Enabled, Sensor Type, Show on Device Screen, Display Fahrenheit, Error Threshold and Error Recovery Interval. Range Test Module config uses an admin message sending a `ConfigModule.Telemetry` protobuf.
## Telemetry Module Config Values
## Update Intervals
### Device Metrics Update Interval
How often we should send Device Metrics over the mesh.
Default is every 5 minutes.
### Environment Metrics Update Interval
How often we should send Environment(Sensor) Metrics over the mesh.
Default is every 5 minutes.
## Sensor options
### Environment Telemetry Enabled
Enable the Environment Telemetry (Sensors)
### Sensor Type
Specify the sensor type.
| Sensor | Data Points |
| :-----: | :-----------------------------------------------------------: |
| BME280 | Temperature, barometric pressure and humidity |
| BME680 | Temperature, barometric pressure, humidity and air resistance |
| MCP9808 | Temperature |
| SHTC3 | Temperature and humidity |
| INA260 | Current and Voltage |
| INA219 | Current and Voltage |
### Show on device screen
Show the Telemetry Module on-device display.
### Display Fahrenheit
The sensor is always read in Celsius, but the user can opt to view the temperature display in Fahrenheit using this setting.
Default is off
### Error Threshold
Sometimes sensor reads can fail. If this happens, we will retry a configurable number of attempts. Each attempt will be delayed by the minimum required refresh rate for that sensor.
### Error Recovery Interval
Sometimes we can end up with more than our configured threshold for errors. In this case, we will stop trying to read from the sensor for a while. Wait this long until trying to read from the sensor again.

## Overview
</TabItem>
<TabItem value="cli">
In addition to key device metrics such as battery level, the Telemetry Module will also allow nodes to send environmental metrics from externally connected sensors. Currently supported sensors are BME280, BME680, DHT11, DHT12, DHT21, DHT22, Dallas 1-wire DS18B20 and MCP9808.

## Details
### Hardware
The sensors can be wired differently, here's [one example](https://randomnerdtutorials.com/esp32-ds18b20-temperature-arduino-ide) for sensor DS18B20.
### Known Problems
- No default configuration values are currently set, so this must be done when enabling the module.
## Examples
### RAK 4631 with Environment Sensor
