For bike lights the Edge is the slave, and the light is the master.

The bike lights profile uses the ANT+ key like other ANT+ profiles.

Your message looks correctly formatted. Have you checked the responses for the prior messages? The issue may be with the other commands proximity to the reset command. From the ANT Message Protocol and Usage document: "After a Reset System command has been issued, the application should wait 500ms to ensure that ANT is in the proper, “after-reset” state before any further commands are issued from the host. For AT3 and newer modules, the RTS line can be monitored instead: only send commands after an RTS toggle has been observed. Please see the Interfacing with ANT General Purpose Chipsets and Modules Document for more information."

HI
you means
Edge Stop Watch Control Ant Bike Light on/off
Edge Stop Watch =>Slave
Ant Bike Light =>Master

Your light needs to correctly respond to pages 32, 33, and 34. See profile document sections 5.2 and 5.4 as well as 7.16, 7.17, and 7.18 in particular.

You may wish to experiment with SimulANT+ controlling your prototype as this will allow you to test without automatic behaviors the Edge has which may cause confusion in logs.

HOW TO GET SimulANT+ FOR BikeLight Profile?
     

HI
EDGE130 Bike watch
My company product BIKE LIGHT

I GET SimulANT+ Member Early Release
HOW Set Bike Light Can Test it?

ref Ant Msg(0)
i can know My company product need TRANSMIT TO EDGE130


     

Thank you for your reply, our company is developing car lights with "Host MCU" + "nRF24AP2".
And we first use "Simulate ANT+" "USB ANT Dongle" for simulating our product.
The simulation can be connected to Garmin car meter smoothly.

However, when the Garmin watch adds new lights to the list, there will be crash logs in "Simulate ANT+", and then the connection will be lost.
After that, We could not perform any actions on the Garmin watch.
Please refer to Figure A below.


Is there any suggestion you could be provided for us?
Thanks in advance.

Do you mean bike lights with Edge bike computer?

Please refer to Figure 1 below

However, when the Garmin watch adds new lights to the list, there will be crash logs in "Simulate ANT+", and then the connection will be lost.

Which watch and software version?
You have only a single controller (the Garmin watch) interacting with the lights? ie no SimulANT+ controller, Garmin Edge, second watch, etc
Are all of the lights created with SimulANT+, or do you also have real lights in the network?

Please refer to Figure 2 below

Please refer to Figure A below.

Can you translate the text to English please.
