Hi Jani and team,
I would like to request a new Action type: Sync files with My RealDash.
Use case: I run RealDash on a tablet in the car with a Megasquirt MS2 connection, and I do several short datalog sessions per track/tuning day. After each session I want the log to be uploaded to MRD automatically, so I can open it on the PC right away without touching the tablet or waiting for the app’s own sync cycle.
The trigger side is already fully possible today. I can use the calculated input “Datalogging active” with the “value changed to” operator:
- Datalogging active changed to 1 → log started
- Datalogging active changed to 0 → log stopped
What is missing is the action. There is no way to ask the app to perform an MRD sync from a trigger (or from a button). So the trigger fires and I can show an alert or play a sound, but I cannot push the file.
Two possible implementations, either would solve it:
- A new Action: “Sync with My RealDash” (ideally with an option for full sync vs. datalogs only).
- A setting under Settings → Datalogging: “Upload datalog to My RealDash when logging stops”.
Option 2 is probably simpler and covers the most common case, but option 1 is more flexible since it would let us sync on other conditions as well (ignition off, engine stopped, connection lost, etc.).
Right now the only workaround I found on Android is a third party file watcher on Documents/RealDash to handle the upload outside the app, which is not ideal.
Thanks for the great app.
