Sending writes stopped working

I was using this to program my blinds after I connected Somfy Sonesse to Zigbee for my Home Assistant. Now when I try to write, the app just crashes.

Haven’t deleted it yet so..

Does what it’s advertised to do… I’d like to see some more powerful apps from you please!

Helpful, but could use work.

I am trying to find a lost AirTag that i lost two years ago. Apples find my app won’t cut it so I spent 4 dollars for the pro version of this. Just saying it isn’t worth it, but it could be if you add these things: a bar that fills up from left to right to show signal strength, this way you could check how close you are and it’s easy to understand. Also add a distance meter, and also on map, allow you to click the dots to see what device it is. Also an option to Pin devices would be nice. This would help tremendously in my search for a long lost AirTag, and it could definitely help in so many other ways. I just hope this gets added because I just paid $4 for a map that barely even works.

Good Scanner - Needs Edit/Naming

I’ve got a couple Bluetooth scanner apps and so far I find that it has the best feature set and frankly a very nice look (nerdy apps don’t have to be ugly…)

But, it is missing an editing feature - being able to name devices so I’m not guessing what is what on future scans would really be super helpful. Especially when a get more than a dozen “Unknown” devices and once I figure out what they are I can’t tell the app so it shows me
It’s “xyz sensor” going forward
