Neewer RGB176 about neewerlite HOT 6 CLOSED

A little different but still related to this light:

I am able to see the RGB176 appear in NeewerLite after I first establish connectivity with it using the iOS Neewer app running on my Mac M1 and then close the app. I can then control the light using NeewerLite.

Issue: when I switch the light off using NeewerLite, after a timeout period, the RGB176 disappears from the app. It seems that the light might not be receiving a keep-alive message or similar.

Just tried with version 0.9.
The RGB176 still disappears from NeewerLite some minutes after I switch it off.

I am still wondering if there's a way to have a keepalive work for this.

Is there anything I can do to help with troubleshooting?

Hi @menant
I have a sendKeepAlive function sending a command every 10s. It seems the light still want to turn off the BLE broadcasting.

If you use iOS app connect the light and switch the light off. Do you see the light icon in the app still active!?

I use the iOS app on the same Mac with Apple silicon that runs NeewerLite app.

It seems that the RGB176 "goes to sleep" after 5 minutes, and the on/off switch disappears from the interface (see screenshots). I have to turn the light back on manually, and click the light in the iOs app for it to reconnect.

When the lights are off (within first 5 minutes):
