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

I wanted to check simple config with At1600 & FlareRT (just plain config):

#1074,358879792::1:133693440,0##6291461,1409482753::1:##12,11:AT 1600:0:16777215:-1!2,:-1,Off:0!1,Preset 1:51!1,Preset 2:52!1,Preset 3:53!1,Preset 4:54!1,Preset 5:55!1,Preset 6:56!1,Preset 7:57!1,Preset 8:58!1,Preset 9:59!1,Preset 10:60#7,6:Flare RT:0:16777215:-1!2,:-1,Off:0!1,Day Steady:1!1,Night Steady:5!1,Day Flash:7!1,All-Day Flash:8!1,Night Flash:63#0::#0:0#123!:123!#0#0#B3843#14#1#0#0

And it fails: Error 3
When I add FlarerRT to AT1600 - it fails

Thanks so much. 

qq with the timespan offset if I wanted lights to go on 30 mins before sunset is that -30 or 30 in the field?

also with a varia and a trek rt flare connected via smart lights #2 with serial numbers can I have the flare change behaviour with the threat level of the varia? Thanks again

Hi maca88

I using edge 850 & flare RT.

I want  simple Brake settng.

1,1!Start:1H]0###6291461,1409482753::1:#2,2!BRAKE:1:1:3:0A[-10!:1:63:0:0D=1##7,6:Flare RT:0:16777215:-1!2,:-1,Off:0!1,Day Steady:1!1,Night Steady:5!1,Day Flash:7!1,All-Day Flash:8!1,Night Flash:63#1::#0:0#123!:123!#0#0#B4634##1#0#0

My setting this one but don't working.

What I do?

Great thanks. I’m also struggling with the time span offset. If I wanted lights to go on 30 mins before sunset. Will that be -30?

l also have a varia (using smart lights #2). Can I use threat on this to control the flare rear light too? maca88

Btw, these hardcoded modes will be used if you press remote button (e.g. Di2 button) change Light Mode (Garmin default modes - Steady or Flash)

Hmm, you are right on this one. I re-added the Garmin modes to the list, so the old configurations should still work.

SimSim said:

Magene application - all light modes are Custom. You can add whatever you want light modes, or change the order (which are first, which are second and etc).

I did not know that you can customize also the non-custom modes.

SimSim said:

For new users it can be confusing - because 51-56 is not hardcoded modes, it just default presets when you buy new light. When user download Magen app - he can sort, change, delete, create new mode(s). And then all these naming do not match anymore.

My assumption is that most users will not modify much the factory settings, so having the configuration to be setup for factory settings make sense to me. For those that will play with the light settings, they will also have to play with the Lights Configurator to align the modes.

1. The S/N (serial number) should be unique per light, so it is quite odd that Magene decided to use the same S/N for multiple lights. Unfortunately, there’s not much I can do to resolve this, as the S/N is the only exposed parameter that should uniquely differentiate between multiple lights when using the Garmin light network
The only workaround would be to use the “Individual Light Network” feature, where the device ID is used to differentiate between lights. The device ID is defined by the ANT protocol and should be unique for every light, as otherwise, communication would not work properly. But then, you would not be able to control the lights with the Di2 buttons

2. This issue also happens to me from time to time and is usually fixed by restarting the Edge. I’ve noticed that putting Edge to sleep instead of turning it off increases the chances of this occurring. Unfortunately, there isn’t much I can do about it, as the light network is handled by the firmware.

3. I also have two SmartBikeLights pages and that issue never happens to me. If you are using TyreWiz or Tempe Visualizer data fields, that’s likely the cause of the problem. Unfortunately, Garmin has not yet provided a fix for the reported bug

4. It shouldn’t be necessary to swipe to the data page where Smart Bike Lights is located, but I believe this is related to the previous point.
Regarding the light turning on when the Edge boots, try setting “Light Beam Activated” to “Timer Start” in the Sensors → Lights → Network Options menu. If that doesn’t work, there’s not much Smart Bike Lights can do, as this happens before the data field is initialized.

5. Most likely related to 3. point

Yes, that is correct.

Yes, you can use the "Radar" filter also for Smart Bike Lights, where you have only Bontrager lights setup. It should work.

Hi,
the configuration is fine, Flare RT should go to "Day Steady" when braking. My assumption is that the light is not in Smart mode. You need to make sure that you see "S" inside the top left button (if full screen) or inside the light icon. If you see "M" or "N", tap on the button/light icon until you see "S". You also need to start the activity for it to work, since you’ve defined a global filter that prevents the light from turning on when no activity is running.

I removed TyreWiz - it was a lot worse. Now it's better, but still some times hangs - and button press do not do anything to the light. Then swiping pages sometimes helps, or after sometime it start working again
