[Feature Request]: Pull Neighbor list remote

Description

Hello.

Would it be possible to make a way to pull a neighbor list from a remote node. I would like to see what my remote nodes can pick up on hop 0, but i don´t know any way to do that. I tried the neighbor via lora option, but i don´t see any way to view the information.

Cheers Brian.

I'm looking into this one as it aligns with my plans.

Excellent, im happy to hear that.

Still planning on this one.

Hi DaneEvans. If your able to make it, can you incl the RSSI in the pull, i find it more useful than SNR, as SNR fluctuate very much

Thanks.

The NeighborInfo module tracks and broadcasts information about a node's direct neighbors.

I think this fulfills the original request.

You'll have to read the contents of the packet yourself though, since the phone Apps don't display it as it's own thing.

RSSI is not included.

Here's an example of what it contains: https://malla.meshtastic.es/packet/16764486

Not stale, just busy.
I have a WIP on it.

Yeah, neighbour info does it, but not in a way that is useful for many of our use cases.

PR incoming once I can test it a bit further. Although I believe main is in a feature freeze at the moment

I really appreciate your time and effort on this DaneEvans.

MR in, Sorry HougeDK, no RSSI. I was able to tack it onto the existing setup with minimal changes, so that should help it get merged quicker.

Oh that's a shame, RSSI is a bit more useful than SNR, as SNR fluctuate wildly. That aside, im looking forward to see what you came up with. Is it something that need a new firmware on the board or "just" app update?

Firmware as well. So it may take a little while.

Then the app, I've got a version that works on android. It has a few bugs to iron out though
