meshdaemon - Meshtastic Async Daemon

Multi-source async daemon that:

• polls REST endpoints on different intervals,
• listens to UDP multicast for Meshtastic (via mudp),
• Sends messages it has not heard before to the mesh

We use this in Stockholm to broadcast weather and PSA warnings. This script can be run by multiple nodes and any warnings that are heard before broadcast will be supressed. This way multiple users can run the script without drowning the mesh in warnings.

Uses Sveriges Radio's API for Important Public Announcements / Viktigt meddelande till allmänheten (3.0) to extract alerts for a given region and broadcast to a local Meshtastic® network.
