Timeout for Notifications and Setup Screen

[e2m32]

Hi! Love the app. I am experiencing 2 issues related to what I believe is some kind of timeout. I haven't seen this anywhere and am wondering if this is just related to my device.

I am running the app on an old Galaxy S3, android v4.4 kitkat.

1. When in the settings I could be entering data and the screen will timeout and return back to the main screen for the alarm panel.

2. When receiving a MQTT message from 'home/notification', the message does appear, but it times out so fast that if you blink you will miss it. It times out so fast you can't even see what the message was.

Is this just me?

Looks like you have the screen timeout in the setting screen set really low. This turns on the screen saver which boots you out of the settings screen and clears the dialogs. I will change the behavior in the next release, but for now, change the "Screen timeout after.." time to something higher. The minimum is 15 seconds, so move fast. If not then you have have uninstall and install the application again to reset everything. Originally the timeout on the settings screen was in place so users didn't leave their alarm system in the settings view, which would not activate the alarm. Because you can go to the settings from the alarm view if armed or in away mode.

Sorry, you are not using Android Things, you said you were on a Galaxy device. I guess you are using the Android Things Github to report the issue. This should be in the Android device version instead.

Hi Michael, Sorry, I didn't realize there was another github for the Android device version. I didn't see the screen timeout setting in the Settings. I will look again. I have the Pending time in the app set to default, but the Alarm is set to 2 seconds right now while I am testing/setting everything up. Could this be an issue with them not synced up? Thanks Mister!

It's a screen timeout issue. Check under the screen saver settings for that setting. I think you have it really low. I will change the settings screen to use it's own timeout rather than use the screen saver.
