Configuring Fly6 to turn on but without flashing

Former Member over 7 years ago

I recently bought a Fly6 and I am struggling to understand how the Garmin Sensor settings and the Fly6 settings work together, or if they don't, how I can achieve what I am trying to.

I already have front and rear dynamo hub powered lights so I want to use the Fly6 as a camera only and not have it flash so I can get more recording time between recharges. In the Cycliq Pro iPhone app, I configured the light modes to disable all modes except "Off" mode.

In the sensor settings on my Edge 1030, I see the light and it is enabled and under Network Options->Light Beam Activated I've set to Timer Start. This seems to be working. When I start an activity, the Edge 1030 turns on the Fly6 and starts recording. When I end and save the activity or turn the 1030 off, it stops recording on the Fly6.

Under Network Options->Light Mode there are options for Auto, High Visibility, Trail, Individual. What do those mean? I can't find any description of them in Garmin user manuals or here in the forums. How do they relate to the Light Modes

The options you are reffering to are described here: https://www8.garmin.com/manuals/webhelp/variaut/EN-US/GUID-73B08487-BA57-4EF0-A253-D226E229BC68.html
But that's Varia UT800 light from Garmin, not the Fly6 options.

The Fly6 CE has different settings (own), see here: https://support.cycliq.com/support/solutions/articles/13000046636-connecting-to-your-fly6-ce-via-ant-

Helps?
