Alj Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 My KS can emit horn sounds but you need to push button in the app and for that you need to have phone in your hand and app open, which is distracting. Did anybody try to somehow wire horn sound via some bluetooth controller. I have bluetooth joystick, it would be nice to just push any button on it through the pocket. Not extremely comfortable but better than looking for a button in the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rywokast Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 havent heard of that.. but the next best thing is having a smart watch with wheellog or euc world and dedicating a button while the app is open on the watch to the horn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But just regular bluetooth button should do the trick. Something like this https://www.amazon.com/Bluetooth-Smartphones-zttopo-Wireless-Compatible/dp/B07MR1PHPZ/ Maybe tasker profile for android? If you could wire tasker to a horn button in the app. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you could wire tasker to a horn button in the app. i meant the physical button on the watch.. a pebble or any other watch should be able to do this.. as for the bt button i really dont think you would be able to do this as it is.. unless euc world were to support this functionality i cant see how you could possibly get this button to do something in a third party non supported app as im pretty sure it just triggers a fake button press (not entirely sure though) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rywokast Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Just now, Alj said: tasker + autoinput should work in theory, if you using Android. Now way in IOS, that's for sure. i use automate which i think is the same thing as tasker and while it can do a ridiculous amount of stuff im not sure if there is anything on it that can say fake a touch on this part of the screen and even so, still not sure how you would sync it up with the bluetooth button itself... its probably possible in some way but seems overly complicated... would probably be easier to make the button trigger a horn sound file, which is exactly what pressing the horn button in the app does that way you dont need to use the app and it would be much less complicated, just connect to the wheels bt and start the tasker process on your phone 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not extremely comfortable but better than looking for a button in the app. Just use Flic 2 button with EUC World The best and most convenient solution, as you can assign up to three custom actions - for example horn, lights on/off or... enforce regulatory compliance... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DjPanJan Posted June 10, 2020 Share Posted June 10, 2020 I know is little off topic i use like horn this sound : http://soundbible.com/2142-FogHorn-Barge.html To trigger i use(ticwatch pro 2018) double "click" my watch and single "click" is same horn (because sometime my watch not good react to double tap) Long press i have AVAS on.

AVAS really is useful in terms of safety, I've lost track of the number of people who have been about to step in front of me but heard me coming and stopped in their tracks... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskanAlain Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 I use EUC World with a Samsung watch. after some tinkering I got the horn loud and clear just by tapping the watch screen. (I think I had to "turn on voice notifications" and something else.) It may work with some gloves but not mine, which I don't wear much anyway since I got Huskies to deal with as well as a phone and earbuds, gloves are too cumbersome. You could use your tongue. so just lick the watch when wanting to honk, there is no simpler way IMO. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toad Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 Dogs. But, it still is a puzzle. Why would dogs object to gloves? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coco66 Posted July 26, 2020 Share Posted July 26, 2020 You mean that @ass is riding his EUC while handling the phone, listening to music, and walking his dogs meanwhile? First of all, that's cheating, since walking the dogs is supposed to be an activity for the owner too... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't worry, the dogs might be on skateboards. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskanAlain Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 To answer some questions. Having to put on gloves while holding leashes, then take them off since I forget to turn on appropriate apps on my phone etc. is a pain. The dogs understand "hike, gee and haw (go, right and left) but not "whoa" so they have to be on a leash all the time. One even ran after a bear and licked it, thankfully the bear didn't attack the dog, probably too busy watching me scream like a pregnant woman. I have been called out for cheating Coco66, yes it is I admit. From now on I will wear gloves since I fell the other day when getting one of the dogs under my wheel . I am still picking gravel out of my palm. Toad, skateboards for dogs, hmmmm, good idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlaskanAlain Posted October 15, 2020 Share Posted October 15, 2020 Nice gloves. Turns out my goatskin military gloves I have been wearing actually work to honk the horn. I don't like thick gloves. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtosis Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 I'm definitely interested in this subject too. What would be ideal would be a tiny device with a physical keypad (just a few keys) that can present as a BT keyboard or something like that to Android. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kurtosis Posted October 20, 2020 Share Posted October 20, 2020 Just discovered that Flic2 was a thing, sorry for the dumb questions folks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlaskanAlain Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 Flic is expensive, the app mentions it but there may be something cheaper that will work too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
