(defaults to trying to detect a port)\n--host [HOST], --tcp [HOST], -t [HOST]\n                        Connect to a device using TCP, optionally passing hostname or IP address to use. (defaults to 'localhost')\n ```\n\nIs there any way I can specify different TCP port for my connections?\ne.g I was trying:\n\n```\nmeshtastic --host my.public.hostname --port 4403 --info\nmeshtastic --host my.public.hostname --port 4404 --info\nmeshtastic --host my.public.hostname --port 4405 --info\n```\n\nMaybe meshtastic cli source can be altered to add something like `--tcp-port`?\nI was working on an a web interface for meshtastic (PHP and linux on back end) and secifying TCP port seems critical.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/adrianTNT","@type":"Person","name":"adrianTNT"},"datePublished":"2025-11-28T20:49:04.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":3},"url":"https://github.com/868/python/issues/868"}
