Check Status​

The status card shows:

  • Connected device name.
  • Connection state.
  • Receiver battery state.
  • Bluetooth signal strength.

The app may also show cards for reconnecting, disconnected status, low battery, weak signal, or watch control availability.

Send an Advance Command​

Drag Slide to Advance to the right. The app shows when the command is being sent and then reports the result:

  • Advance Confirmed — the receiver acknowledged the command.
  • Advance Failed — the device did not respond.

Below the control, the app shows when the last advance was sent (for example, Last advance 30s ago) or No advances sent yet.

If the device is not connected, the app blocks the command and asks you to move closer to the device.

After an Advance​

The app records the last successful Advance time and shows it on the Control screen and supported watches. If Auto Advance is enabled, manual advances also help the app learn the current cycle.

Keep Screen On​

Settings includes Keep Screen On, which is enabled by default for the Control screen. Disable it only if it matches local operating practice.

Reconnection​

If the receiver moves out of range, the app marks the device as reconnecting or disconnected and attempts to restore the connection while the app is active. Move closer to the receiver before sending more commands.
