Auto-reconnect to bike

Open aaciii opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

If I leave the bike on overnight after a session, when I return, the app has disconnected because the bike went to sleep (Bluetooth drops).

The EchBT app needs to be killed in this case and re/started all over.

It would be ideal if the app intelligently polled the device and re-connected if Bluetooth drops and reappears later. Then the user could leave EchBT on all the time and never touch it.

Actually, it's the phone that goes to sleep. If Bluetooth is connected, the bike will not go to sleep. I will have a look.

Fyi, I am using the Echelon tablet itself. It’s an Android 9.0 device (non-Google).

It is awesome to have EchBT on it. Opens the bike up to a ton of apps — my wife cannot deal with the multiple devices idea — all on the Echelon tablet is the way to go.

Happy to help you enhance it if you are game. image

The app is actually open source if you want to contribute to it.. https://github.com/snowzach/echbt-android
