Firmware version 0.9.10, T-Deck Plus:

  • "Auto Advert Direct" maximum interval ist 72h, while
  • "Auto Advert Flood" maximum interval is only 24h.

It is known that flood packets tend to be problematic in larger networks and flood adverts tend to be recommended to be sent only very seldom, if at all.

So I hereby feature wish that the "Auto Advert Flood" setting accepts also much longer intervals -- maybe up to two weeks, or just make it possible to manually enter a value.

Whereas the "Auto Advert Local" minumum time of 4h ("Flood" has 1h) should be reduced, so that 1h as minimum interval for local adverts can be set (useful if you travel), or make this setting freely choosable by entering a number.

Regards!

Improved in v0.9.14

Auto Advert Flood now goes up to 72 h, 1 week and 255 h (about 10.6 days — the most the setting can store). Auto Advert 0-Hop can now be set to 1 h.
