Alert on missing receiver connection #77

Closed saercnap closed 9 years ago

saercnap commented 9 years ago

I've found the BLE module flashing due to not being connected, but Dexdrip is happily chugging along without data or notification

StephenBlackWasAlreadyTaken commented 9 years ago

+1 on this, it should live in the dex collection service as thats something thats already restarting itself using an alarm system while its not connected, should be easy to implement

This should probably also/or alert on X minutes since last dexcom packet. eg, i'm paired to the HM-11 just fine, but the wixel isn't receiving packets

StephenBlackWasAlreadyTaken commented 9 years ago

kk, since I dont want to wake the phone every minute to see if the last one was a certain number of minutes ago (for batteries sake)I think the best route would be.. When a packet is received, set a wake timer for say... 15 minutes from then (or x minutes, set in settings) and if a packet is received less than x minutes from then, well change that wake timer to instead be x minutes from now.. and so on... so the wake timer will only actually fire if nothing has been received (and thus moved the wake timer) for the full x minutes

do we continue to alarm every x minutes?

Sounds reasonable.

I suspect the continued alerting should be a preference. Chances are you either know it won't work (swimming?) or you don't (something is broken). Continued alerting for the former could be annoying if you don't want it.
