 A Python bot that connects to MeshCore mesh networks via serial port, BLE, or TCP/IP. The bot responds to messages containing configured keywords, executes commands, and provides various data services including weather, solar conditions, and satellite pass information. A web viewer provides a browser-based dashboard for monitoring and managing the bot.
 
+## Caution
+
+> [!CAUTION]
+> Before installing this bot, please take a moment to _truly_ consider if your mesh needs another bot. If there are already several bots on your mesh, it is likely that you are adding congestion without adding value.
+>
+> It is not recommended to run more than one bot on a single channel. Adding another bot to a channel already in use on your mesh may result in users unnecessarily receiving double responses, depleting mesh airtime for little additional value.
+>
+> If you decide to run the bot on your mesh, please take advantage of regions or hop limits to ensure that your bot is helping your neighbors not flooding the entire mesh.
