BlueSwitch Android App
9
While many user configurations can be addressed with the DIP Switch
settings previously described, we understand the need for complete
customization and control. BlueSwitch has a companion Android app
on Google Play. This app is only available for Android.
To
use,
download
the
BlueSwitch app to your Android
device. Connect your device via
Bluetooth to the BlueSwitch
hardware following the steps
detailed in “Pairing BlueSwitch
to a Bluetooth Device” section.
Once connected, you can open
the app and change BlueSwitch
settings.
Once you’ve changed settings in the app, you must send your settings
to BlueSwitch for them to take effect. To send your changed settings,
click the “Send Values” button which is found in the top right corner of
the app. Figure 5
highlights this location
with a red circle.
Settings are persistent
and will be saved to
BlueSwitch even after
BlueSwitch has been
powered on and off.

Below is a list of settings which are customizable through the
BlueSwitch Android app:
Enable short and long switch presses for SW1 and SW2.
Set the long switch press duration for SW1 and SW2.
Choose to output switch activations on switch press or switch
release for SW1, SW2, and SW3.
Set an acceptance time before sending out a switch activation
for SW1, SW2, and SW3. If the acceptance time is not met,
nothing is sent. This is helpful for people who tend to
accidentally reactivate their switch when pressing or releasing.
Set the extended long press duration to cycle through
connected Bluetooth devices on SW1.
Set which HID character to send on switch activation for SW1
and SW2. Options include characters A-Z, F1-F12, 0-9, Space,
and Enter.
Enable the feedback beeper which indicates when a long press
duration has been reached.
