so the base firmware does the hrm check? Maybe I could tie into health and when it does it check, use that check to modify the HR delay variable... okay that gives me enough to go on.
If I modify the code, does it need to be compiled in any way in order to be uploaded to the watch? Or is it better to do a pull request and wait for whoever maintains it to accept/reject the change?
This could just be a new option in the health app (dynamic HR monitoring on/off).

You could use the step counting as indicator for exertion level and to change hrm logging >interval. Or just look at the latest hrm reading like you've said.
The syncing logic will probably break with changing the logging interval. I think >Gadgetbridge >expects 10 min intervals. So that would probably need tweaking as well.
Could someone point me to the code that measures the heart rate? Sorry im not familiar with the codebase at all. I'll try and make the adjustment. The health app appears to be a display app for data (not the code that does the actual measuring?).
As for synching, not an issue for me, i'll only sync once a week or so.
Will have a look at recorder, not sure i noticed it when i scanned the apps.

Thanks for the precision, still something i'd rather have off completely. good to know that's what the option does.

I'll see about updating my health app for the dynamic time check. I assume the check delay is a variable, and I can just modify the heartrate check method in the code so that if the HR is over a certain amount, it sets the delay dynamically shouldn't be very hard....
Great to hear the health app stores days of data... do you know how many days it stores?

thanks for the answers... i guess for bluetooth, i didn't really get the answer i wanted - i want to turn off the bluetooth radio (not just turn off discovery or discoverable, or some low power option). Just want to confirm this is what happens when you untick BLE. Reason is, I don't like the idea of having a bluetooth signal near my head for long periods of time (e.g. when i sleep).
I think you said yes, bluetooth radio is turned off, except for when you reboot the watch? so if i don't reboot then bluetooth radio is off? Just confirming :)

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:
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?
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.
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.
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 :)
so aren't there 3 minute and always options for heart rate monitoring? what does the app do for people who choose those options????
Strange thing
