• Hi all, first of all, am attracted to the privacy-focused side of an open source wearable. I don't like how the other apps share and sell your biometric data, so Bangle is 100% perfect for what I want to use it for!

    I do have questions which I hope can be answered here:

    1. i would like to turn off the bluetooth when I don't need it (I don't use the messaging notice feature). Does turning off BLE in settings turn off the bluetooth radio completely?

    2. Is there a widget that allows me to turn off bluetooth and turn it on with a simple click? I coudn't spot one on the app market... If not, i guess that's something I'll try to code in.

    3. I'm interested in my heart rate when i am doing exercise, but not when I am at work, watching movie etc. So I would like my heartrate to be measured dynamically - e.g. every 10 minutes when my heartrate is at rest (50-80), every 3 minutes when it goes up (e.g. im walking in the heat, 80-100) and constantly when I am actively exercising (100+). I get this feature isn't in the health app now, how easy would it be to add? Seems to me a good function - instead of having to manually update the frequency before a workout. Could also save on battery when its not needed.

    4. I will be synching with the gadgetbridge app every few days (when i turn bluetooth on). Is there an app or a way to store all the health data (heart rate, sleep, steps) and synch it to the app when it connects to the app? Is the steps data stored anywhere on the device? Is there an app that stores this data?

    Thanks for the (hopefully) answers!

    FYI, I can code whatever as long as chatGPT can make the change - that's my level of coding ability :)
