From what I can see in the ConnectionStatus class, there are only three statuses, CONNECTED, CONNECTING and NOT_CONNECTED. https://stripe.dev/stripe-terminal-android/external/external/com.stripe.stripeterminal.external.models/-connection-status/index.html

#

So there is no STANDBY status I'm afraid.

#

Ah that's what I was afraid of, thanks for checking

#

I was thinking maybe checking for when the reader emits the "NOT_CONNECTED" status would be sufficient but I also read that the reader can also enter standby mode while still connected to your device to conserve power

#

so that wouldnt cover all cases

May I know what problem you want to solve with STANDBY status?

#

Main intention is for monitoring purposes and maybe programmatically move the reader out of this state if necessary

#

The reader goes to standby mode to conserve battery life, and it automatically wakes up when payment is needed. So basically you don't need to manually update its status.

#

Hmm makes sense

#

and, just to recap, for monitoring purposes, for example monitoring "dead time" on a device, there isn't really a way to track when the reader enters and leaves standby mode (when it's still connected to the device)?

#

There is no such method or API to my best knowledge.

Gotcha, thank you for your help, Jack!
