Rec Light for Insta360 GO

See whether your Insta360 GO is recording — right on your Edge's data screen. No pairing, no phone, no extra hardware. n.b. this is fully tested for GO 3s - other versions (Ultra) are being confirmed. Rec Light passively listens to the camera's own Bluetooth broadcast and shows a live status: • REC (red) while the camera is recording • IDLE when it isn't • LOST — with an alert tone — if the camera's signal vanishes mid-recording (battery death or thermal shutdown), so you find out in seconds, not at the end of the ride • A tone when recording ends, so an accidental stop never goes unnoticed Beneath the status, the field shows your TOTAL RECORDING TIME for the ride — counting while REC, holding while idle, resetting with a new ride — so you always know how much footage you actually have. DISPLAY ONLY: starting and stopping recording stays on the camera itself. (Current Garmin Edge firmware cannot open a Bluetooth control connection to this camera — this app deliberately needs no connection at all.) SETTINGS (via the Garmin Connect app): • Camera serial — pin the field to YOUR camera (on the camera: Settings, then Camera Info); recommended for group rides • Alert tones on/off • Demo mode for previewing the display • Have the "Rec" icon rotate with another field COMPATIBILITY: Insta360 GO 3S. Tested with camera firmware v8.x — a future Insta360 firmware update could change the broadcast this app reads; if the field stops tracking after a camera update, check for an app update.

v. 1.2.1 Re-testing support for GO Ultra v. 1.2.0 New: optionally alternate the cell between Rec Light and a metric of your choice (speed, heart rate, ride time, distance, clock, cadence or power) every 1-3 seconds — with a red corner dot on the metric pane while recording, and an instant switch back to Rec Light whenever recording starts, stops or the camera is lost. Added devices: Edge 1030 Plus, Edge 1030, 830, 530, Edge Explore, and Forerunner 970 (as a data field for any activity). On older Edges, status updates can lag a few seconds. Experimental support for other Insta360 GO-family cameras (e.g. GO Ultra): the field now recognises any GO-family broadcast, not just the GO 3S by name. If you try it with a GO Ultra, please send feedback via the store. Diagnostics line now shows the camera's name.
