Bike Lights Remote
· v4
About
This widget allows you to check the modes currently set on your bike lights, change the modes of your tail and head lights independently and access the battery status of the lights.
Every review is appreciated :)
Intended use:
-Start the "Bike" activity on your garmin device, make sure that your lights are paired with the device and that the network is formed.
Whenever you want to change the lights configuration or just check the modes they are currently in:
-Long press on the Lap button (Short press if you have this button disabled on activities)
-Navigate to the widgets and start the Bike Lights Remote, you should now be able to set the modes.
Change the head light modes on the DOWN button and the tail light on the UP button, to turn all lights off or on use the select button.
This app was tested with the Bontrager Ion pro RT and Flare RT with the fenix 6 watch.

For safety reasons I decided to not allow the head light to be turned off with the DOWN button this is to prevent the cyclist to turn off the light while riding.
If the intention is to only have the tail light on he can always turn the head light off directly on the light.
From personal experience the best mode to set the light network is the INDIVIDUAL mode, this allows the user to change the lights both on the watch and on the lights.
For me the AUTO mode does not allow me to change the modes on the lights themselves.
To change this go to the Sensors & Accessories on the garmin device and navigate to the Ligths menu.
Any feedback is welcomed, enjoy.
