Hello,
Garmin Edge 830’s user here. My unit is 4 years old, has been quite reliable most of the time (I’ve ridden more than 60 000 km with it, never lost data). Unfortunately, after the last weekend’s ride in the rain its display delaminated, water got in and since then buttons and top part of the touch display do not work, so I am looking for a new head unit. Among others, I am considering the new Elemnt ROAM 3 too.
With Garmin, I’ve been using Bontrager/Trek Ion 200 RT (front light) and Garmin Varia radar (tail light) which are controlled by the Smart Bike Lights IQ Connect application (it allows to turn on/off lights and set different modes for them).
It would be neat if Elemnt ROAM 3 allowed to control my lights in a similar way. I checked the documentation and found that Elemnt ROAM v2 supports Smart light control (Bontrager/Trek and Varia lights particularly):

Unfortunately, I can’t find whether the same is true for ROAM 3 too…so my questions are:
Does Elemnt ROAM 3 offer the Smart light control feature?
Does it support Bontrager/Trek lights?
Thanks.
