Karoo OS - Custom Alerts

Introducing Custom Alerts on Karoo. You can now create one-time, repeat, or event-based custom alerts for each profile. Custom alerts can be created and managed by going into profile settings, and then into the notification drawer settings.

Note: This feature is only available on SW version 1.600.2303 or later.

Here are the steps to setup custom Alerts on your Karoo:

• On the Home screen, tap on the "Apps" button.
• Tap on the "Profiles" app.
• Select the profile you want to configure.
• Scroll down and tap on "Notifications".
• Scroll down and tap on "Configure Custom Alerts".
• You can create your custom alert for this profile here.

You can set a one-time alert for Distance, Minutes, or Calories.

You can set a repeated time-based alert for Distance, Minutes, or Calories. 

You can set a event-based alert for your live Power, Heart Rate, or Cadence values.

Note: For event based alerts, we added smoothing to cadence and power. Since these values tend to jump around, this helps avoid constant alerts if your outside your range. Power has a 10 second smoothing applied, and cadence has 5 second smoothing. 

When set up, custom alerts will display in the notification drawer during a ride. 

You can also set a snooze timer for these alerts. The snooze timer allows you to snooze an alert and be re-alerted after the snooze period has passed.
Snooze can also be disabled by selecting "None" here. 

You can trigger snooze by pressing the button on the touchscreen, or by pressing the lower right button when snooze displays.

Your custom alerts will display even if your phone gets disconnected during the ride.
