Step one: use http://client.meshtastic.org/ one of the Apple apps or the CLI to connect to your device and adjust these settings.
Enable and enter network SSID/PSK. Settings--> Device Config--> Network; Save.
Set MQTT server address. Settings--> Module Config--> MQTT config; Verify Encryption Enabled is OFF. Turn JSON Output Enabled ON. Save.
Go to Channel Editor and set Uplink and Downlink enabled to True. Save.
Go to Channel Editor and set Uplink and Downlink enabled to True. Save. There is currently a bug for setting Uplink and Downlink Saving for the default channel. If you encounter this use the CLI commands:
```
meshtastic --ch-index 0 --ch-set uplink_enabled true
meshtastic --ch-index 0 --ch-set downlink_enabled true
```
Step two: if you don't want to depend on JSON decoding on the device, you can decode the protobuf messages off-device. To do that you will need to get the .proto files from https://github.com/meshtastic/protobufs. They function as a schema and are required for decoding in Node-RED. Save the files where the node-RED application can access them and note the file path of the "mqtt.proto" file.

Forwarding a text message from one device, through a broker, to another broker/device/channel would look like this.

If you want to decode text and position messages without json, it gets complicated:

But node-red can rapidly (minutes vs days) put together some pretty impressive output when paired with meshtastic. Here is an example of geofencing and mapping of a single device via mqtt data.
