This companion app is used to configure and view parameters of the wireless input / output transceiver of NIST Control Systems (Pty) Ltd called the IO Transceiver.

The IO Transceiver has 2 Relay Outputs, 2 Galvanically isolated 5V tied inputs (use dry-contacts to control these inputs), 2 Galvanically isolated 4 to 20mA Analogue Outputs, 2 Analogue inputs (0 to 5 VDC OR 0 to 20mA). It also makes use of a LoRA radio to create a local area network (thus NOT LoRA WAN connected, thus no monthly fees) via a proprietary TDMA mesh protocol.

PHYSICAL PRESENCE VERIFICATION REQUIRED (via press of a button on the IO Transceiver device) TO ENABLE PARAMETER EDITING.

Use this app to:
- Commission nodes into a new network (2 to 15 nodes per network)
- Replace dead nodes (thus allowing the network to recover full functionality after a node was damaged beyond repair)
- Configure Relay Output logic (based on the status of ONE or MANY inputs in the network via up to 8 standard logic operands: NOT, AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR and XNOR)
- Configure Analogue Outputs (link with single Analogue Input in the network with optional signal inversion)
- Capture the GPS coordinates of each node for viewing on an in-app map.
- Uncommission a node from the network (for relocation purposes).

By being connected via Bluetooth to ANY node in the network:
- All input and output states of the entire network can be viewed.
- The RSSI of the entire network can be viewed
Fixed:
- Bluetooth connectivity issues on some devices running Android 8 to 12.
- Bug making decommissioned nodes not connectable.
Allows applications to open network sockets.
Allows applications to access information about networks.
Allows an app to access approximate location.
Allows an app to access precise location.
Allows using PowerManager WakeLocks to keep processor from sleeping or screen from dimming.
