Firmware
Dedicated U.S. weather-alert device
MeshWX Pro Firmware runs directly on a supported Wi-Fi device, so no separate computer is needed.
Use Firmware if:
You are in the United States and want a simple, always-on MeshWX Pro device.
No host computer
The supported device handles alert monitoring and broadcasting by itself.
Wi-Fi required
The device itself must have Wi-Fi so it can reach the U.S. National Weather Service.
Dedicated device
While MeshWX Pro Firmware is installed, that device is used for MeshWX Pro instead of normal Meshtastic or MeshCore node operation.

Pick Firmware when your priority is simplicity: one supported Wi-Fi device dedicated to MeshWX Pro, with no separate computer running 24/7.
App
International coverage or keep your normal mesh node
MeshWX Pro App runs on a separate computer and connects to your existing Meshtastic or MeshCore node over USB or TCP/IP. Your normal mesh firmware stays installed.
Use the App if:
You live outside the United States, or you want capabilities the dedicated Firmware does not provide.
International coverage
Use the App for Canada, the European Union, Israel, Australia, or the United States.
Keep normal node operation
Your radio remains a normal Meshtastic or MeshCore node while the App connects to it.
No Wi-Fi on the node?
No problem. The App can use a supported radio over USB serial or TCP/IP.
