Hi Mark, Thanks for the suggestion. I’m going to give that some thought. It actually sounds like a very workable solution. The Qardio Arm is kind of criving me crazy. I’ve got it working now, but it’s very hard to get it closed properly, and if you don’t, it doesn’t come back on when you open it. Also, I’m still getting the Bluetooth Permission Denied error message, even though I followed Jonathan’s steps and confirmed that access is on in Privacy settings. So, in comparison to all that, your process doesn’t sound that bad. lol Cheers, Donna
