L2: a Flashlight app on Home (a lightbulb icon added to the fonts): a white layer over everything, the backlight at 100 %, no auto-off; a tap, the side or the top button puts it away and the brightness back. L1: Tools > System > Flashlight, the whole OLED lit at full contrast until a key. Not on e-ink. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

# Tools
|
||
|
||
On joystick devices, the tools are in **Tools**, grouped into Location, Comms
|
||
and System; the Tools home page keeps the two you used last. The navigation
|
||
tools are on the [Navigation](./navigation.md) page, Nodes and Admin on
|
||
[Contacts](./contacts.md); the [Status](#status) screen opens from its own
|
||
home page.
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> **Wio Tracker L2:** the tools are apps on the home screen: Messages, Nodes,
|
||
> Settings, Compass, Clock, GPS, Bot, Repeater, Admin, Diagnostics, Flashlight. The trail,
|
||
> live sharing and the locator are on the map (its tools button) and in
|
||
> Settings › Map.
|
||
|
||
## Clock
|
||
|
||
The **Clock** home page shows the time with a bar under it that fills with
|
||
the seconds (Settings › Display › Clock seconds), the date, and up to three
|
||
fields you choose (hold Enter): battery, temperature, humidity, pressure, altitude
|
||
(barometric or GPS), light, CO₂, GPS position, satellites, contacts, unread
|
||
messages. The time comes from GPS or the phone app; the time zone is in
|
||
Settings.
|
||
|
||
**Enter** on the clock opens the clock tools:
|
||
|
||
- **Alarm**: a time, repeating daily, on weekdays, at weekends or once. It
|
||
rings with the screen off or locked, but not after a shutdown.
|
||
- **Timer**: a countdown that rings when it reaches zero, whatever screen
|
||
you're on.
|
||
- **Stopwatch**.
|
||
- **Calendar**: the month with today marked and the alarm's days
|
||
underlined; **Left / Right** pages through the months, **Enter** comes
|
||
back to this one.
|
||
|
||
Any key silences the ringing; it stops by itself after a minute.
|
||
|
||
## Remote bot
|
||
|
||
**Tools › Bot** answers messages for you. It watches your direct messages, one
|
||
channel and one room, each switched on separately:
|
||
|
||
- **Trigger and reply**: when a message contains the trigger (several can be
|
||
separated by commas, `*` matches any message), the bot sends the reply. The
|
||
reply can use placeholders, plus `{name}` (the sender) and `{hops}`.
|
||
- **Commands**: messages starting with `!` get live data back:
|
||
|
||
| Command | Reply |
|
||
| ------- | ----- |
|
||
| `!ping` | `pong` |
|
||
| `!batt`, `!temp`, `!time`, `!loc` | battery, temperature, time, position |
|
||
| `!hops` | how many hops the command took |
|
||
| `!status` | battery, position and time |
|
||
| `!help` | the list of commands |
|
||
|
||
Several in one message get one reply: `!batt !time` → `4.10V | 14:30`.
|
||
- **Actions** (off by default) let the command change the device: `!buzz`
|
||
(sounds the buzzer to find it), `!gps on` / `!gps off`, `!gps fix` (turns
|
||
the GPS on, waits for a good fix and sends it), `!advert`.
|
||
|
||
**DM allow = Fav** limits the DM bot to your favourites, and **quiet hours**
|
||
stop trigger replies at night (commands still answer). Replies are rate
|
||
limited so two bots can't answer each other forever. The room bot uses the
|
||
room's saved login.
|
||
|
||
## Auto-advert
|
||
|
||
**Tools › Auto-advert** sends your advert every 30 seconds to 1 hour (with
|
||
your position if Settings › Privacy › **Advert pos** is on), so others see you in their Nearby list. With it on at both ends
|
||
and Settings › Sound › **AD sound** set, each device beeps when it hears the
|
||
other: a hands-free "still in range".
|
||
|
||
## Repeater
|
||
|
||
**Tools › Repeater** makes the device relay other people's packets while it
|
||
keeps working as a companion. By default it relays on a separate repeater
|
||
profile (the community's repeater frequency) and switches back when you turn
|
||
it off; **Network = Current** relays on your own frequency instead.
|
||
|
||
Optional filters keep a mobile repeater from adding noise: skip adverts, a
|
||
maximum hop count, **Yield** (let fixed repeaters go first), a minimum SNR,
|
||
drop duplicates already relayed by someone else, and relay only your
|
||
**scopes**. The Status screen's **Mesh** tab shows how much it forwards.
|
||
|
||
## Ringtones
|
||
|
||
**Tools › Ringtone** composes two melodies of up to 32 notes (pitch, octave,
|
||
length, tempo). Use them for notifications in Settings › Sound, or for a
|
||
single contact or channel from its options.
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> **Wio Tracker L2:** the melody editor is under Settings › Sound.
|
||
|
||
## Flashlight
|
||
|
||
**Tools › System › Flashlight** lights the whole screen white at full
|
||
brightness and keeps it on until you press a key; the brightness goes back
|
||
when you leave. Not on e-ink, which gives no light.
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> **Wio Tracker L2:** the Flashlight app. A tap, the side button or the top
|
||
> button puts it away.
|
||
|
||
## Status
|
||
|
||
The **Status** home page sums up the radio, GPS, battery and mesh in four
|
||
tiles; **Enter** opens the Status screen, one tab per subject (**Left /
|
||
Right** between them, **Up / Down** scrolls):
|
||
|
||
| Tab | Shows |
|
||
| --- | ----- |
|
||
| **Radio** | Frequency, SF / BW / CR, TX power, the noise floor over the last half hour, the last packet's signal |
|
||
| **GPS** | On / off (**Enter** switches it), fix, satellites, position, altitude, speed, precision, time to first fix |
|
||
| **Sky** | The satellites on a sky plot, or each one's signal as bars (**Enter** swaps them); Wio Tracker L1 |
|
||
| **Power** | Battery level, voltage, source and trend, then the readings of any sensors |
|
||
| **Mesh** | Packets received and sent with a traffic line, forwarded, nodes heard, contacts; **hold Enter** resets the counters |
|
||
| **System** | Uptime, firmware, device, memory, the send queue, errors, and a sample of every script the font covers; **Enter** shows your contact as a QR code, which the phone app scans to add you, and **Enter** again a QR code that opens this manual; any other key closes it |
|
||
|
||
**GPS pwr** in Settings › System turns the GPS off between fixes to save
|
||
battery; anything that needs your position (the trail, live share, the
|
||
locator) keeps it on.
|
||
|
||
> [!NOTE]
|
||
> **Wio Tracker L2:** the Diagnostics app, with a **Noise** tab that
|
||
> measures the noise floor over time and history charts you can touch for the
|
||
> value at that moment, and the **GPS** app, on three tabs: **Sky** (a plot
|
||
> of the satellites and the fix), **Signal** (a bar per satellite with its
|
||
> strength, and the constellations) and **Details** (position, precision,
|
||
> time to first fix and what the receiver reports).
|
||
> Your contact's QR code and the manual's are in Settings › About.
|
||
|
||
## GPIO
|
||
|
||
*Wio Tracker L1 only.* **Tools › GPIO** sets four spare pins as input,
|
||
output or (GPIO1–2) analog input, shows their level and switches outputs. The
|
||
bot's `!gpio1`…`!gpio4` commands read and set the same pins.
