Hi Wole, agree regarding the price but would like to say they are small and very light. Waterproofness us important to me, we've already had over 2300mm of rain here  so far this year 

Hi Wole. I asked for an alternative sensor a while back Tempodisc they have an sdk available on their site. I have 3 of their sensors, one temperature only and fully waterproof, the other temp and humidity which is not waterproof. High quality product available directly from supplier based in UK and USA or via amazon. Locus connects to the sensor but can't read any data sadly. My request didn't gain traction so I moved on to the garmin ecosystem for recording all my activity data, using the tempe for temperature, so instead of using locus daily, I now use it only occasionally. The sensor blue option is not waterproof and therefore not really rugged enough for general outdoor use. The inkbird looks good, if not quite large, and the price is affordable. Maybe its an option too?

Just to mention that i had the audio coach set to announce the temperature plus other metrics every 1000m. Depending on the activity, that's every 5 to 10 minutes. I assume that locus pings the sensor for temperature at that point. This is not enough to keep the sensor communication "awake". As a work around I wouldn't mind the audio coach bringing the phone screen on if that's all it takes. Currently I've given up on this in LM4, and record all my activity metrics in a different app now.

Would be quite useful to be able to switch the bearing direction (back bearing).

Where can I edit the bearing line colour and text size?

Thanks for quick response. Seems to work just fine, I can work with that.

I have figured how to plot a bearing line from my current position using the "guide to" function. I'm just wondering if this type of function is available from a poi rather than current location?

That's a useful bit if info. TBH I've just about given up on it and I'm going down the garmin tempe route. The sensor blue device isn't even water resistant.

I'm interested to know if any updates have been made to improve connection stability too. I've given up on this function at the moment

So I've looked at some of my tracks in the planner which shows what and when were being recorded by my MI Band 6 and ThermoBeacon. Interesting to see some gaps in the HR monitoring but clearly big gaps in the temperature and I think that after the drop-out after the first few hundred meters, any other temperatures recorded are in periods after I've woken the phone up. Hope it gives some insight.

Track recording is fine, and I'm not running Locus as a service. I have turned the battery optimisation off for Locus when I installed it. I've searched through all the settings to find something which might affect the Bluetooth but can't see anything appropriate. As I say when both the Mi band 6 and thermometer are setup in audio coach, only the Mi band is consistent & reliable.

I've picked up a "Thermometer WS07" from Amazon for about £11. Connects easily in locus and can be announced by the audio coach. If the screen has been off for a while the audio coach stops announcing temperature. The phone is P20 Pro on EMUI 12, my Mi band 6 works perfectly with the audio coach so I don't know what the issue is. It would be nice to see the max and minimum values for the Thermometer WS07 in the track stats too.
