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:
- Device Info
- App Settings (link to sub-screen)
- Node Settings
- Actions
- Debug
- Export
- 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 18 languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Polish, Slovenian, Portuguese, Italian, Chinese, Swedish, Dutch, Slovak, Bulgarian, Russian, Ukrainian, Hungarian, Japanese, Korean)
- 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
- Jump to Oldest Unread: When opening a chat, scrolls to the oldest unread message instead of the newest
- 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)
Translation
Not shown on web. Controls on-device message translation powered by a locally-downloaded ML model:
- Enable Translation: Translates incoming messages into the selected target language
- Translate Composer: Translates outgoing messages from the target language back before sending
- Target Language: Language to translate into (searchable list; defaults to the app language)
- Downloaded Model: Dropdown to select among already-downloaded translation models
- Preset Model: Download a curated preset model with one tap
- Custom Model URL: Enter a URL to download a custom GGUF-format model; shows download progress and a cancel button
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
gpscustom 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.
