+* Connect to a Meshtastic node via HTTP or TCP
   * Keep a persistent database of all seen Meshtastic nodes
+  * Note: Serial transport support was removed in 1.3.0 to comply with [postinstall deprecation](https://demo.signalk.org/documentation/Developing/Plugins/Publishing_to_The_AppStore.html#important-avoid-install-time-scripts)
 * Update Meshtastic node position from Signal K GNSS position
 * Send Signal K alerts as Meshtastic text messages to crew
   * MOB alerts (for example from [signalk-mob-notifier](https://github.com/meri-imperiumi/signalk-mob-notifier)) also send a waypoint to the MOB beacon

 ## Requirements
 
 * This plugin running inside your Signal K installation
-* One [Meshtastic device](https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/) running and connected to the same network (typically boat WiFi) as Signal K. This should be an [ESP32 based](https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/heltec-automation/lora32/?heltec=v3) device for WiFi connectivity.<br>
-  If using Serial connection, it can also be a nRF52 device
+* One [Meshtastic device](https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/) running and connected to the same network (typically boat WiFi) as Signal K. This should be an [ESP32 based](https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/heltec-automation/lora32/?heltec=v3) device for WiFi connectivity.
 * At least one additional Meshtastic device for the crew ashore. [Seeed T1000-e](https://meshtastic.org/docs/hardware/devices/seeed-studio/sensecap/card-tracker/) is a great option, but any battery-powered Meshtastic device will work. Having a device for each crew member is even better. In busy areas these should be set to [`CLIENT_MUTE` role](https://meshtastic.org/blog/choosing-the-right-device-role/)
 * Optionally, a Meshtastic GPS tracker device installed in the dinghy
 * Optionally, a [Meshtastic mast-top repeater](https://www.printables.com/model/1396221-meshtastic-boat-module-masthead) for greatly increased communications range
