Extras
Automatic light, automatic volume, wheel presets, background operation and keeping a parked wheel awake.
Everything below lives in the extras section. What appears there depends on the wheel: anything your model cannot do is simply not shown.
Automatic light#
The app turns the light on when you start moving and off when you stop.
- The switch-on threshold is a speed.
- Switching off follows either a speed or a timer that starts when you come to a stop.
- The automatic high beam has its own separate threshold.
- The whole thing can be limited to a time of day, so the light stays off in daylight.
This is the app's own feature: it simply sends the wheel an ordinary light command at the right moment. Do not confuse it with the ambient light sensor built into InMotion wheels, which lives in the wheel's own settings and works without a phone.
Automatic light is supported on LeaperKim, NOSFET, Begode, KingSong and InMotion.
Automatic volume#
Music in your headphones gets louder as you speed up and quieter when you stop. You set the minimum and maximum volume and the speeds at which they are reached.
It only applies to playback devices you have listed, so it will not touch the volume when the phone is playing through a speaker at home. The system volume indicator can be hidden so it does not flash across half the screen for the whole ride.
Wheel presets#
A preset is a saved set of wheel settings. Presets are stored per wheel.
- There is a built-in default preset, filled from the wheel's current settings on first connection.
- Your own presets can be created, renamed, deleted and switched with one tap.
- A preset can be shared: it exports as a file that another rider imports on their side.
Applying a preset is careful about it: settings your wheel does not support are skipped, transport mode is skipped, and only values that actually differ from the current ones are sent.
On connection the app compares the wheel against your presets. If the selected one matches, it stays. If a different one matches, that becomes selected. If none match, the default is selected and nothing is written to the wheel.
Background operation and reconnecting#
The app keeps working with the screen off. If the connection drops, it looks for the wheel and reconnects on its own without ending the ride. How long it keeps looking is up to you; the default is five minutes.
To intentionally end the connection on iPhone, choose Disconnect from the three-dot menu. The app will not connect to the wheel again in that session until you select one manually.
Keeping a parked wheel awake#
LeaperKim only. The wheel powers itself off after fourteen minutes of standing still. With this on, the app keeps it awake up to a time limit you set, as long as the phone is near and the connection is alive.
Be aware: if the wheel is still standing when the app disconnects, it will shut down within ten to sixty seconds.
Debug screen#
A long press on a device in the scanner list opens a service screen: raw packets, reassembled frames, byte-level differences, markers, exporting a recording to a file, and sending your own commands.
It is a protocol tool, not something to use while riding. Sending arbitrary commands to a wheel can do anything, including making it behave unexpectedly under you.
