# Settings ## How to Access - From the Device Screen: tap the tune/sliders icon in the app bar - From Contacts or Channels: overflow menu (three-dot) → Settings Settings are only accessible while a device is connected. ## Settings Screen Layout The settings screen is a scrollable list of cards: 1. [Device Info](#device-info) 2. [App Settings](#app-settings) (link to sub-screen) 3. [Node Settings](#node-settings) 4. [Actions](#actions) 5. [Debug](#debug) 6. [Export](#export) 7. [About](#about) --- ## Device Info A collapsible card showing read-only device information. **Collapsed by default** — tap the header to expand with an animated chevron indicator: | Field | Description | |---|---| | Name | Connected device's display name | | ID | Device identifier | | Status | Connected / Disconnected | | Battery | Percentage or voltage (tap to toggle) | | Node Name | The node's mesh identity name | | Public Key | First 16 hex characters + "..." | | Contacts Count | Number of known contacts | | Channel Count | Number of configured channels | Battery shows an alert icon and orange text when at 15% or below. The toggle only works when millivolt data is available from the firmware. --- ## App Settings A dedicated sub-screen for app-level preferences (nothing here is sent to the device). All settings persist locally via SharedPreferences. ### Appearance - **Theme**: System / Light / Dark - **Language**: System default or one of 15 languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Polish, Slovenian, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Swedish, Dutch, Slovak, Bulgarian, Russian, Ukrainian) - **Enable Message Tracing**: Shows path trace overlays and extra metadata on messages ### Notifications - **Master enable/disable**: Requests OS permission when enabling - **Message notifications**: New direct message alerts - **Channel message notifications**: New channel message alerts - **Advertisement notifications**: New node discovery alerts ### Messaging - **Clear Path on Max Retry**: Erases the stored routing path after all retries fail - **Auto Route Rotation**: Enables weighted routing algorithm. When enabled, expands to show five slider sub-settings (hidden when off): - Max Route Weight (1–10, default 5, integer steps) - Initial Route Weight (0.5–5.0, default 3.0) - Success Increment (0.1–2.0, default 0.5, 0.1 steps) - Failure Decrement (0.1–2.0, default 0.2, 0.1 steps) - Max Message Retries (2–10, default 5) ### Battery - **Battery Chemistry**: NMC / LiFePO4 / LiPo (per device, used to calibrate percentage from voltage) ### Map Display - **Show Repeaters**: Toggle repeater markers on map - **Show Chat Nodes**: Toggle chat node markers - **Show Other Nodes**: Toggle room/sensor markers - **Time Filter**: All time / Last 1h / Last 6h / Last 24h / Last week - **Units**: Metric / Imperial - **Offline Map Cache**: Navigate to tile download screen ### Debug - **App Debug Logging**: Enable the in-app debug log --- ## Node Settings These settings are sent directly to the connected device firmware. ### Node Name - Opens a dialog with a text field (max 31 characters) - Sends the new name to the device - Confirmed via snackbar ### Radio Settings Opens a dialog pre-populated with the device's current radio settings. Contains: - **Preset dropdown**: 19 regional presets — selecting a preset immediately fills all fields below. Full list: Australia, Australia (Narrow), Australia SA/WA/QLD, Czech Republic, EU 433MHz, EU/UK (Long Range), EU/UK (Medium Range), EU/UK (Narrow), New Zealand, New Zealand (Narrow), Portugal 433, Portugal 869, Switzerland, USA Arizona, USA/Canada, Vietnam, Off-Grid 433, Off-Grid 869, Off-Grid 918 - **Frequency** (MHz): Free text, validated 300–2500 MHz - **Bandwidth**: Dropdown (7.8 / 10.4 / 15.6 / 20.8 / 31.25 / 41.7 / 62.5 / 125 / 250 / 500 kHz) - **Spreading Factor**: SF5–SF12 - **Coding Rate**: 4/5, 4/6, 4/7, 4/8 - **TX Power** (dBm): Validated 0 to device max (typically 22 dBm) - **Client Repeat** toggle: Only shown on firmware v9+; requires frequency to be exactly 433.000, 869.000, or 918.000 MHz (the Off-Grid presets). Save is blocked with a warning if enabled on other frequencies ### Location Opens a dialog pre-populated with the device's current coordinates (if known): - Latitude and longitude fields (decimal, 6 decimal places). If only one field is provided, the other uses the device's current value - If GPS-capable hardware (detected via `gps` custom variable): - GPS Update Interval (seconds, 60–86399, default 900 = 15 minutes). Validated and sent separately before lat/lon - Enable GPS toggle (takes effect immediately, not deferred to Save) - Validation: lat ±90, lon ±180 ### Contact Settings Five toggles controlling which node types are auto-added when heard: - Auto-add Chat Users - Auto-add Repeaters - Auto-add Room Servers - Auto-add Sensors - Overwrite Oldest (when contact list is full) ### Privacy Mode Opens a confirmation dialog with three buttons: Cancel, Enable, and Disable. Both states can be set from the same dialog regardless of current state. A snackbar confirms which state was applied. When on, the node stops broadcasting its location in advertisements. --- ## Actions One-tap device operations: | Action | Description | |---|---| | Send Advertisement | Floods the mesh with your node's advertisement | | Sync Time | Sends current Unix timestamp to the device | | Refresh Contacts | Re-requests the full contact list | | Reboot Device | Confirmation dialog → reboots the device (shown in orange) | --- ## Debug Two log viewers accessible via list tiles: ### BLE Debug Log Two views (togglable via segmented button): - **Frames view**: Direction icon, description, hex preview, timestamp per frame. Long-press to copy hex. - **Raw Log RX view**: Decoded LoRa packets with route type, payload type, path, and summary. - Copy-all and Clear buttons in the app bar. ### App Debug Log Structured log entries (Info / Warning / Error), with tag, message, and timestamp. - Must be enabled first in App Settings → Debug - Copy-all and Clear buttons --- ## Export Three GPX export options (not available on web): | Option | Exports | |---|---| | Export Repeaters | Repeaters and Rooms with GPS coordinates | | Export Contacts | Chat contacts with GPS coordinates | | Export All | All contacts with GPS coordinates | Each creates a `.gpx` file and opens the OS share sheet. Feedback via snackbar for four outcomes: success, no contacts with coordinates, feature not available (web), or error. --- ## About Shows the standard Flutter about dialog with app name, version, and legal notice.
