Smart Bike Lights (Data Field) / Bike Lights Control (Widget)

Hi,

the configuration that you provided should work with ION 200 RT and Varia 510 as the headlight is correctly set to ION 200 RT. If you have a configuration for UT800 + Varia 510 that you want to use with ION 200 RT, just paste it and I can modify it.

Thank you. In meantime, I figured out my problem's solution. Because I have two headlights, I thoutht I can use one data field to control them both using primary and secondary config. But I found out I need to use Smart Bike Lights#2 to control second headlight.

Ooh while we are making UI requests, I know we can change colour of the vertical line between front/rear light, but can I also ask for a 'no line's or transparent option? Makes it easier to match with different coloured activity profiles

Hello, that's a good idea to have different colour for the tailight and the headlight on the screen. I was always confused which one is the taillight or headlight during the ride, that's why I always turned on first the taillight(Varia RTL515) then turned on the headlight(Varia UT800), so in this case, on the left screen is the taillight and on the right headlight. So any change that make it easier to know which one is the taillight or headlight from the screen is welcomed, and that would be great.

Hi, it's really hard for me to understand how to correctly configure taillight to be off during daytime and flash only when car / fast object approaches.

I had configuration that made taillight flash when car approaches on medium speed but fast car did not trigger flashing.

I tried to change operator for threat from "Equal to" to "Greater than" but radar flashing was not triggered. When I tried to add another filter like this

still no luck.

What is correct setting for radar flashing to be triggered everytime something approaches?

Thanks in advance.

Looks like with some recent updates you swap the Left and Right side ligths configuration around?

I didn't released any new version recently. Most likely you accidentally switched the "Invert lights" setting. You can revert back by either using Garmin Express/Garmin Connect applications or use the built-in app settings editor in case you have an Edge touchscreen: https://github.com/maca88/SmartBikeLights#built-in-app-settings-editor

just noticed that only recently when there were no light duration log in the GC.

This is also an app settings that you can enable/disable and most likely you disabled it.

That would be a nice option if I could at least colour code the front light and the rear radar light different

I can add a settings to select a color for each light that will then color the active light mode button when in full screen mode and the light icon ("D" symbol) when not in full screen mode. I will add this feature most likely next week as I will have more free time.

or to make the bottom icons bigger and more recognizing?

If you mean by increasing the text and the battery icon below the buttons, unfortunately there is not enough space to make them bigger when two lights are paired.

Sure, I will add a setting for this too.

If you want to flash for all approaching vehicles change the Threat operator to "Greater than None".
If you want to flash only for fast approaching vehicle change the Threat operator to "Equals to High".

Thank you. But what about this warning? 

NOTE: It is recommended that Threat operator is set to avoid None (e.g. "Greater than None") as otherwise it will match targets that are not displayed on the Garmin device.
