Major problems with Light network :(

Former Member
Former Member
I have a Garmin Egde 1030 updated with the latest beta 3.58. I have the Varia Radar RTL501 with latest firmware 3.8 and the UT800 with the latest firmware 2.40.

I have yet to have a a great experience with this setup :(

During testing all 3 devices are within 30 cm of each other.

My testing:

1. I turn on the Edge 1030 - and go into light sensor settings.
2. I turn on the Varia Radar RTL 501 and it starts to create a light network -within 30 sec to 1 min the RTL 501 connects and i can see battery status ect.
3. I turn on the RT800 and that instantly causes the light network to reset, dropping the RTL501 from the network and its starts to create a light network again - 6-7 minutes go by and the RTL501 connects again, but no RT800 - i then try to re-pair the front light and 30 secs go by before they all connect.
4. I now have a network when i can see battery status from both lights and adjust the network functions.

If i then turn off the lights off and on, i have to wait the same amount of time before it works again - i am SO dissapointed :(

I now want to add battery status fields to my driving screen but there is only one data field with light battery so i can't see both lights's battery status at the same time??

Anyone with a similar setup who can offer some advice / input?? Tips/tricks??

I found no improvements to this after updating the firmware to the lights..

    This morning on my commute to work it took almost 20 mins before the light network was created. I could see it was trying several times, and the light auto-adjusted several times AND turned off twice :/ Im so frustrated by this.. and NO reply from Garmin.

    On a side note it was just confirmed by the danish garmin support, that its not possible to show battery status for both lights at the same time as data fields. I will only display the light with the lowest battery!! How lame is that :(
