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

I am assuming that you have either Edge 130 or Edge 520 which have only 32KB memory available for the data field. Due to memory limitation on these devices it is possible to have the radar filter only when one light is paired, with two lights it would go out of memory and crash the data field.

EDIT: You can try your luck by selecting "Edge 520 Plus" in the configurator and setup the radar filter with both lights. It may not crash the data field, but I can not guarantee that. I think it will crash when the radar will detect five or more vehicle behind you, otherwise it may work fine. 

Hi, yes it’s a 130.

many thanks for the explanation.

seems time to get an new Edge

Hi!

I have Edge 530 with Flare RT and ION 200 RT. When I disconnect light network after bike riding, only flare power off, headlight (ion200rt) don't power on/off, only pressing power button.

Hi,

Sorry for the late reply.

How do you disconnect the light network after bike riding, are you going every time into Garmin Sensors menu to disable the lights?

I would propose you to use the global filter which will make sure that the lights are only on when an activity is running. Here is the updated configuration for Smart Bike Lights:

1,1!:1H]0#4587520,196641:0,50536:1#1,1!:1:63:0:0D=1#6291461,1409482753:0,32024:1#1,1!:1:7:0:0D=1#6:Ion 200 RT!Off:0!High:1!Medium:2!Low:5!Day Flash:63!Night Flash:62#6:Flare RT!Off:0!Day Steady:1!Night Steady:5!Day Flash:7!All-Day Flash:8!Night Flash:63#0::#0:0#0#0#B3121#2#1#0#0

Make sure that the lights are in Smart mode (S displayed inside the light icon) in order the configuration to work properly.

Hi maca88,

thank you for this very helpful tool to get the VARIA Lights smart.

I use the following configuration since years, but in the last weeks it stopped working (maybe because of an update?). When a car comes closer, the Varia 516 doesn't turn on. The status at the widget stays at "off". I would be glad, if you could look for the mistake in my configuration.
Maybe you can add "on, when poor gps" for tunnels? And at night, the light should be on, also when time is paused or speed less then 5km/h (when I stand in front of traffic lights, light shouldn't turn off)

Here my configuration with Edge 840 and Varia 516 (Light on, only if timer on, speed > 5km/h, light off at daytime except a car approaches, on at night):
2,2!:1H]2!:1C]1.38889###0,4096::1#4,3!NIGHT:1:4:0:0Es-2700,r2700!TAG:2:0:0:0Er2700,s-2700I[200]0!:1:0:0:0D=1##3,2:Varia 515:0:16777215!2,:-1,Off:0!1,Solid:4#0::#0:0#123!:123!#0#0#B4062##8#0#0

The similar configuration for Edge 840 and Varia 515 works.
2,2!:1H]2!:1C]1.38889###0,73535488::1#4,3!NIGHT:1:5:0:0Es-2700,r2700!TAG:2:7:0:0Er2700,s-2700I[200]0!:1:0:0:0D=1##6,5:Varia 515:0:16777215!2,:-1,Off:0!1,Solid:4!1,Peloton:5!1,Day Flash:7!1,Night Flash:6#0::#0:0#123!:123!#0#0#B4062##3#0#0

Hi,

There was no recent releases that would cause this from happening, especially if it works for Varia 515. You need to make sure that the light is in Smart mode, you should see "S" on the top left button. If the light is in smart and it still does not work then maybe a different CIQ data field could be the issue. It sound strange, but for some reason when Smart Bike Lights is used alongside data fields that are using background services, the lights will not change modes even if configured to do so. "Tempe Visualizer" data field is one example, which cannot be used alongside Smart Bike Lights.

Sure, here is the updated configuration for Varia 515 (you can do the same for 516):

1,1!:1H]1###0,73535488::1#7,4!NIGHT:1:5:0:0Es-2700,r2700!TUNEL:1:4:0:0G[4!TAG:4:7:0:0Er2700,s-2700I[200]0C]1.38889H]2!:1:0:0:0D=1##6,5:Varia 515:0:16777215!2,:-1,Off:0!1,Solid:4!1,Peloton:5!1,Day Flash:7!1,Night Flash:6#0::#0:0#123!:123!#0#0#B4062##3#0#0

Thank you very much for the answer. I'll test the configuration tomorrow at commuting.
I use "My Bike Radar Traffic", so I'll remove it on trial. In the past it worked with Smart Bike Lights.

Good day to you!

I sent you a message through IQ Store Contact Developer form. May i ask if you received that? Not to hurry you by any means, just form acted very strangely, so I want to be sure it is not lost. Many thanks, AB
