Short pages by feature (getting started, messages, contacts, navigation,
tools, settings, lock, hardware) instead of one page per OLED screen, with
Wio Tracker L2 differences as notes; facts checked against the code
(keyboard scripts vs. hold-for-accents, {batt}/{dist}, L2 limits and
settings layout). Developer guides and build flags under docs/solo/developer.
Old docs/solo_features and its ~50 screenshots removed; a hero banner and
three simulator screenshots added; links updated.

Contacts
Nearby nodes
Tools › Nodes lists the nodes the device has heard: their type, how long ago, and, when they have a position, distance and bearing. Left / Right filters by type (All, Fav, Companions, Repeaters, Rooms, Sensors); the sort, by distance or by last heard, is in the options. A ★ marks a favourite, a ♦ someone sharing their position live.
Enter shows a node's details. Hold Enter, in the list or the details, for what you can do with it:
| Option | Does |
|---|---|
| Navigate | Distance and bearing to the node; follows it if it shares its position live |
| Ping | Sends a ping and shows the round trip time and SNR |
| Save waypoint, Set as target | Its position as a waypoint, or as the Locator target |
| Fav, Pin to dial | Favourite, or a place on the Favourites page |
| Admin | Remote admin, for a repeater or room (below) |
| Discover scan | Asks the repeaters, rooms and sensors in direct range to answer, with their signal |
Note
Wio Tracker L2: the Nodes app. Filter chips at the top, the sort in the header, and a map button that shows every node with a position. A node's card has buttons for the same actions, plus Add for a node that isn't a contact yet and Delete.
Favourites
The Favourites home page holds six slots for the conversations you open most: a contact, a room or a channel, each with its unread count. Enter on an empty slot picks one from Messages; hold Enter on a filled slot to replace or remove it. Pin to dial in any contact, channel or node menu does the same.
A pinned slot is not the same as a favourite. Fav is the star shared with the phone app: it sorts contacts to the top and drives the "favourites only" filters in Settings › Contacts.
Note
Wio Tracker L2: the first home page. Tap a slot to open it, hold it to change it.
Cleaning up
Settings › Contacts › Expire (7, 30 or 90 days) sets when a contact you haven't heard from counts as inactive, and Prune now removes those after showing how many it will delete. Favourites are always kept, and nothing is removed without Prune now.
Remote admin
Tools › Admin manages a repeater or room server you are an admin on, the same way the phone app does. Pick the node, type its admin password (saved for next time), then choose a field:
- System: name, owner info, admin password.
- Radio: frequency, bandwidth, spreading factor, coding rate, TX power.
- Routing: repeat on/off, advert intervals, max hops.
- Actions: send an advert, sync its clock, reboot, start OTA, or any CLI command.
Name and owner info are read from the node first, so you edit the current value. Reboot and OTA ask before sending.
Warning
Admin commands change the remote node. Check the node and the value before sending.
