    Hello, what is a garmin button? Kremote (at this moment is only compatible with ANT devices. This ANT devices have to be ANT compliant ie. not propietary).

    Garmin Remote is compatible (I'm using) and the mapping is directly (you can adjust but you don't need to map any command, because I've uploaded a default conf). The problem with other remotes is.. I don't have it and I cannot check it.

    If you've other remote (ANT Compatible) you can try to enroll. You have extensive information about this process in github https://github.com/lockevod/Karoo-KRemote

    But the process is.

    - Install app.

    - Restart karoo ( it's not necesary but sometimes, extension doesn't load fine .. not kremote all extensions)

    - Open kremote. 

    - Scan remote.

    - Enter in remote (you need to push the wheel, near the delete icon)

    - Push Start learning, and start to pushing buttons in your remote. If you have some learned commands before, please push delete learned commands before learning new commands

    - Stop learning and go to Map Commands (first tap). You can map your learned commands with karoo actions.

    If learned commands don't  appear in this screen please write here ;)

    Thanks and enjoy holidays. I use garmin Button via Ant+. It might be an older one. I am wondering if there are newer ones when you say it should work from scratch.

    Hello, no, but I can try it. Problem is I bought three diferent cheap remotes (and I'm not part of Hammerhead, I had to pay them)... and they are normal bluetooth devices. These kind of devices I don't think I can add to karoo (development issues with old stack), but Hammerhead provides support (in extensions) for BLE devices.

    If you can check if towild remote is a BLE devices, I can try to buy one and check it. You can check if you find in apps like BLE Scanner or something like this (and only detect BLE devices).

    If you provide this info, I'll check it.

    Thanks a lot Enderthor for the good job!!

    I have a question: does KRemote drain Karoo's battery? Is my understanding that ANT+ is not a huge battery consumption protocol, but I'd like to confirm this.

    Thanks again, best regards.

    Kremote working in eg ride but not in routes? Ie when following a route? Would also be great to e.g. have a nav home and nav to start option that cancels the route.

    Hi,
    I’ve started using Kremote with Karoo2 and Garmin Remote. Everything’s working great so far.

    I have a question/suggestion:

    Would it be possible to add a feature that lets user assign different button settings to different ride profiles?

    Thanks for creating and developing the app!

    Has anyone managed to get Campagnolo lever buttons working?

    In the MyCampy app you can assign a button to Ant+ control (opposed to gear shifting). I was hoping it would work. When "learning" I have seen MENU_UP a couple of times and once saw MENU_DOWN, but they don't show often. The few times it found those, I mapped them to change pages, but when I exited KRemote they didn't work. I even started a ride to try, but nothing. :(

    Anyone else trying to change Karoo 3 pages with Campy levers? I'm using SR 13s.

    Eventually I gave up. Sometimes works, sometimes doesn't, without a pattern that could suggest a solution, seems to be a random behavior. Exactly the same thing (not getting connected and, when connected, buttons randomly not working)

    Yes, reinstalled, cleared cache, cleared logs, unmapped, cleared maps, auto-pause off, Garmin Remote reset, etc. Loved it when it worked and miss it very much. Road and MTB alike.
