@PaoloBLEvo here are the answers:
MISSION CONTROL: Battery 92%, 655W.
BLEVO: Battery 94%, 596W , so i would say he's reading roughly 10% less in W.

Sorry, but also the percentage is different?
At the same time Mission Control says 92 and BLEvo 94, is it true?

Correct

I just checked my bike Levo 2019 Comp with the 504Wh battery.
MC 65% -> 327Wh
BLEvo 65% -> 292Wh
Within the BLEvo bikemonitor I also noticed a 52% value at the right upper corner next to "pause". I am not sure what that % means. Further I also noticed the a red blinking light next to motor.

I updated my Blevo app this morning and went for a ride, but it still reported the wrong time to Strava.
The time reported was:
8:54 AM on Monday, October 29, 2018
Actual local time was:
14:54
My time zone is Mountain Daylight Time (UTC -6).
I'm attaching the TCX file that was generated.
Please let me know if I can provide any other information that would be helpful.
Thanks!
Alan
Sorry AlanC, I made the change but I forget to test it and to check that the modification didn't work well. Tonight I will test another solution. Thanks and sorry for my fault.
Do you want the procedure to adjust the date?

52% is your phone battery.
And yes I see also red blinking next to motor
I see in blevo battery 98% = 439Wh
Believe blevo working only partial with 19er levo at this time.

Yes with Motor FW 6.0.0 its possible. With Motor FW 6.1.0 is blocked.
Are you sure about it? In my experience is the TCU version that influence.. but I'm not fully sure..

I have FW 6.0.0 and i can change Speed with Blevo .... no Problem.
Here from the MC APP:

I can confirm that it's blocked with the latest firmware (6.1.0 for the motor and I think 19.x for the battery).It's not possible to update just the motor or just the battery with the tool, so I'm not sure where exactly they implemented the blocker...

I need to connect to MC and check, had the bike a month and still not done it.

100% 6.0.0
My friend has a motor 6.1.0 and he can change the wheel size.. so I think is not the motor the blocker but the TCU.
What I understood is:
- TCU with firmware version 1.010 can change the wheel size
- TCU with firmware version 1.011 canNOT change the wheel size
The firmware version of the TCU can be read with LightBlue.. I will add also in BLEvo..
Let me know if someone has different results..

WOW - just returned from my first ride using the BLEvo app! This may be old news to BLEvo vets, but it was an eye opener to this late adopter. I’ve had a 2018 Comp Carbon for 11 months and 2200km, motor 1.3, firmware 5.0.0, battery firmware 2.22.3. I’ve used Mission Control exclusively, typically running Eco/Trail/Turbo at 30/60/100 with Standard Acceleration. I prefer the Acceleration options of battery firmware v.22 (Eco to Race options) compared to v.23 (fixed Eco Accel.), but I wish v.22 had infinite tune to provide power above the set levels when called upon. In addition, motor response with v.22 is somewhat too reactive and does not allow progressive motor power with rider input (it more or less jumps to the set level). This can make it a bit tricky at times to use the higher power when slowly negotiating technical terrain.
Just set up the bike with BLEvo using iOS.
After some short test rides on tarmac I set BLEvo to CM3 with Assist Levels 25/50/75 and Acceleration at Power. Motor power progressed nicely with rider input allowing more control in techy sections than Mission Control. Like Infinite Tune motor power continued above the set levels with more rider effort, so it wasn’t necessary to change assist level if you’re willing to work. In this regard it feels and behaves more like a regular non-assist bike (but easier and faster, of course!). I never really needed Turbo mode even on grades up to 20%, though I did use it for some easy spin climbing and occasionally to blast over a roller or out of a corner. Battery usage was about the same or a few percent less than with Mission Control. Next time out I’m going to increase CM to 4% and reduce Acceleration to Std to see if this gives a bit more control while still remaining responsive enough.
So for those who haven’t tried BLEvo I strongly recommend giving it a shot. It’s the best (yet least expensive) upgrade I’ve made to the bike!.
Grazie Mille, Paolo!!!

I think next step is to try Smart Power.. in my opinion Smart Power changes the assistance level concept.. assistence is provided only if required by your legs and/or you heart..
Let try e let me know.
Enjoy your ride.

So does this mean that the blevo app will work with my bike and can be derestricted?I need to connect to MC and check, had the bike a month and still not done it.
100% 6.0.0
Thanks for the tip, will do. I had not seen the Smart Power Option in the pull-down window choices, but have now found how to access it and an explanation of how it works in the pdf manual in Section 6, p .7-8. I'll give it a try.
Question: Would it be possible to have the Speed and Cadence numbers in the large boxes displayed as large block text? I think simple, stand alone numbers would be much easier and faster to read. The drawings mimicking circular speedometers are cute, but the clutter is distracting and makes the actual values difficult to see (I'm using a small, dedicated iPhone). Maybe this could be made a choice during Display Customization.

Try and let me know...
What is important is the TCU version... please check it with LightBlue App...
Thanks.

I have Levo Comp Carbon (2018) and would like to use BLEvo while riding. I have no interest on increasing the top speed yet, the 20mph limit the bike comes with in the US is fine for now.
I bought the app (for Android) and when connecting to my bike I am asked to confirm my settings. The top speed shows as 25kph (15.5 mph) which is not what my bike can do (checked with a GPS that top speed is 20mph).
I don't want to change any of the speed settings at this time, I am worried that if I go past this screen my top speed settings will be altered. Is there a way to proceed without changing my existing top speed, or do I need to change the speed to 32.2 kph (20 mph) and then save those as my default settings. Will this change anything on my bike?
As you can tell I am worried about warranty issues so I want to make sure I can use BLEvo without affecting the speed limiter.

Light blue app? Obviously I'm interested in the app, but don't want to buy it if it doesn't work.

Can someone clarify if the Levo 2019 model can now be derestricted?
Don't worry about the speed limit in BLEvo because it is used only if the legal limit is 25kph. Please don't change it, otherwise the wheel size will be changed. I'm investigating how to detect when the legal speed limit is high (in some part of the world.)

It sounds like if motor is 6.1.0 and TCU version is 1.011 (confirmed with ligtblue) then it cannot be changed yet.
This is what my 2019 Levo unfortunately is. Hopefully they’ll be a fix soon....
