Welcome to the itracing2 wiki!

Requirement

  • android 4.3 or greater
  • Bluetooth LE support (a recent smartphone should have it)
  • a "iTag" / compatible device with link-loss profil.

How to use itracing2?

You need to launch the app after activated the bluetooth feature on your phone. An empty white page appears with a button "DETECT" on the front right. Power on you iTag and click on "DETECT". If your bluetooth device contains a correct name, it will be bonded automatically, if not.. a dialog box will let you to choose the correct device.

Options

allways-on (background link)

Allows you to link your device with your smartphone in "background". Means that, you are not required to open itracing2 to use your device. Important, when the bluetooth feature is enabled (on boot or manually), all devices with this option will be bonded. With this option, you'll use all action from you device without itracing2 launched. (like simple click, double click, link-loss). Especially for the third option the permanent link with you phone (provided by this option) is necessary. "link-loss" is a bluetooth specification (https://developer.bluetooth.org/gatt/services/Pages/ServiceViewer.aspx?u=org.bluetooth.service.link_loss.xml). It means that if the link between the phone and the device is broken, the device is ringing (or whatever).

ring your device

Allows you to ring you device (after the bonding is done) until you click a second time to stop it. (some devices stop alone after 20 seconds)

battery level

A percent value that gives a battery health indication

signal level

A percent value that try to translate the db signal to a human readable value… This value jumps to much and is too hardware dependant to be really efficient

simple click

Allows you to select an action when a simple click is provided

double click

Allows you to select an action when a double click is provided (delay between two clicks is updatable via "delay in milliseconds"

loose link between device and smartphone

Allows you to select an action when the phone detect a link-loss with the device (the device in same time should bipping too - it's not optional until background link is enabled) You could extend this option by allowing the phone to do something if you power off the bluetooth feature on your phone or if you power off your device)

custom action

you can set up a http(s):// link that will be called on click/double-click action (it's a HTTP GET)
