SDK bug: ANT LightNet data not resetting when LightNet device is disconnected (last values remaining visible)

I'm using

- ANT LightNet Taillight mode

- ANT LightNet Battery

values in order to display the VARIA RTL 516 status in a datafield. The status is displayed correctly when RTL 516 device is (initially) off and then switched on. After switching the RTL 516 device off, the last values keep visible (battery level and light mode on).

There should be a reset of these values by the SDK after ANT connection timeout.

According to a Software Engineer that reviewed this forum, this is by design. If a light disconnects from the light network without sending a LightStates1Page, the controller/display will not be made aware of any change in the light's state.

The best option is most likely to make use of the LightNetworkListerner's onLightNetworkStateUpdate() API callback and watch for any transitions out of the LIGHT_NETWORK_STATE_FORMED state in order to invalidate/depopulate their data as needed.
