Stock firmware: copy this tempradio command
Before sending it, run get radio and save the result.
No clock setup is needed. Your saved settings return automatically.

Need to leave the test early?
Send this command to return to your saved radio settings in one minute:
KeyMind Cascade firmware and advanced commands
Use these only if your firmware supports the listed commands or you need dual-radio operation, scheduling, or clock correction.
Scheduled command timing
Relative commands calculate whole minutes from now to the shared start and end. Both offsets use the node's same command-time snapshot, so no clock correction is needed. Copy the command shortly after it is shown.
Absolute commands use fixed UTC epochs. Verify or compensate for the node clock with the controls below before queuing them.
Bridges and early-revert plan
The test will include bridges. If the Puget Sound area experiences a widespread power outage or loss of cellular service, we will end the test early. A stock node's one-minute temporary test profile then ends on that node's own saved radio settings.
Before changing a radio
Run get radio and record the saved primary tuple. Both
primary TempRadio methods return to that saved tuple; they do not store
a return tuple inside the temporary command. On a Companion, also run
get radio2 and get radio2.cross so you can restore
any non-default secondary-profile setup.
Firmware schedule epochs:
Check the node clock before scheduling
The primary tempradioat and Companion
tempradioat2 schedulers use UTC Unix time. Run
clock on every node that will be scheduled and compare it
with the browser UTC time below. It should agree to within about a minute.
A wrong clock can start late, start immediately, or cause the schedule to
be rejected.
No node-clock correction is applied. Scheduled commands use the normal UTC epochs.
This changes only the absolute tempradioat and
tempradioat2 epochs shown on this page; it does not issue a
clock-setting command. The correction is for this node and this open page
only: it is never added to generated URLs, and is cleared on reload. If
the node clock later syncs or jumps, delete and queue the schedule again.
Remote admin session
In a MeshCore client that supplies the sender timestamp, sync and then verify:
clock sync
clockLocal USB or browser console
Copy this fresh, run it immediately, and then verify with clock:
time 0
clockIf the clock is ahead and cannot move backward
If setting the correct time returns ERR: clock cannot go backwards,
run the command below. It resets the clock to an older fallback date and
reboots the node immediately, so it sends no reply. After the node reconnects,
copy and run the fresh local clock command above, verify with clock,
and then add the Companion tempradioat2 schedule again. The
reboot clears any pending scheduled entries.
If resetting or correcting this remote node's clock is not safe, leave it unchanged and use the optional node-clock conversion above instead.
clkrebootThe Companion schedule must be queued while both its start and end are in the future and within the firmware's roughly 24-day scheduling horizon. Scheduled entries are held in RAM and disappear if the node reboots.
Companion: use both frequencies
These commands become available one hour before the official start. Their timeout shrinks so the Companion returns at the same end time.
Companion using both frequencies
Dual profile
rxtx permits transmission on the second profile;
radio2.cross on copies ordinary Companion traffic across
the primary and temporary profiles.
Schedule a supported node in advance
A Simple Repeater build can schedule its primary radio with
tempradioat. A Companion can instead schedule its second
profile with tempradioat2. The default KeyMind Cascade form
uses +minutes for both endpoints. Switch to Absolute Unix time
above for fixed UTC epochs and the node-clock correction tools. Both forms
switch at the common start and restore saved settings at the common end.
Room-server and sensor roles use the stock join command above instead.
Room server or sensor
No advance schedule
Use the stock tempradio command above after
its setup window opens.
Simple Repeater primary radio
Primary schedule
This is available only on a Simple Repeater build with primary
scheduled-radio support. It changes the primary tuple at the start
and restores the saved tuple at the end. If get tempradioat
returns Error: unsupported, use the stock join command
above instead.
Companion using both frequencies
Dual-profile schedule
Crossing is saved independently and remains on after the
temporary second profile ends. Restore its previous value after the
test; auto is the normal default.
Cancel a schedule or adjust the timeout
For a primary or Companion schedule, the all form removes every temporary
schedule in that family. To preserve another schedule, first run the
corresponding get command and replace all with
its displayed entry number.
Stock: leave in 30 minutes
This replaces the current temporary timeout with 30 minutes, then restores the saved primary tuple automatically.
Simple Repeater · scheduled primary radio
Before the start, this removes the queued temporary schedule. While it is running, it also restores the saved primary tuple after the command reply drains.
Companion · before it starts
Companion · while it is running
Leave now
If get radio2.cross was not auto before the
test, restore that recorded value instead.
Leave in 30 minutes
These commands clear any absolute second-profile schedule and give
the test profile a fresh 30-minute lease. The saved second profile
returns at expiry, but crossing remains on; afterward,
restore the value you recorded before the test (auto is
the normal default).
Primary scheduling requires a Simple Repeater build. Companion
tempradio2 and tempradioat2 require dual-profile
firmware. If a command is unknown, use only the method your installed
firmware supports.
Build a temporary radio test URL
Enter the test times in the selected time zone and choose the radio
tuple. The generated URL converts the times to exact UTC instants, keeps
the date punctuation readable, and keeps tz so the page
displays them in the organizer's local time zone. With no URL settings,
the builder starts at 5:00 PM tomorrow and ends at 5:00 PM two days
later in the selected time zone, creating a 48-hour window.
Advanced use: start and end also accept ISO-8601
timestamps with explicit UTC offsets or Unix epoch seconds. If
tz is omitted, the page uses the browser's time zone. The
other URL parameters are freq, bw,
sf, cr, and estimate-only tx.
