Hi @incebellipipo,

`auto_transmit` is a part of the protocol specification, but isn’t yet available in Ping360 devices. There’s a new firmware that’s been tested somewhat internally, but it’s not yet public, and there isn’t yet a publicly available firmware updater either.

There was supposed to be a message about that not being available yet in the [ping protocol docs](https://docs.bluerobotics.com/ping-protocol/pingmessage-ping360/), but apparently they haven’t rebuilt properly since that change was put in, so it’s not showing yet.
