SDK 5.0 how to make a strong vibrate

[Guy_]

Is there any way in SDK 5.0 to make a really strong vibrate?

Vibration seems to work differently to SDK 4.2

The parameters for vibration.start seem to make very little difference. Is there a proper guide?

Unfortunately there's no way to control the vibration strength via API, but users can control the strength via Settings > Vibration & Audio > Vibration > Light/Strong

Is there a documentation for Haptics API for OS 5.0 which may be different to 4.2?

There seems to be parameters that can be specified in VIBRATION.START() that are not clearly defined, official, or are hidden, that may or may not work.

Full clarification would be most appreciated.

A better and more accurate description may help solve vibration issues.

No difference. The only param is the pattern name.

Hi Jon

You posted a very useful best answer here

https://community.fitbit.com/t5/SDK-Development/Haptics-documentation/m-p/2863953

Is this obsolete now?

Can you please shed some light on this, as this may be a way to fix the very weak vibrate on Sense and Versa 3; an exact example of strong would be useful.

I tried

vibration.start("nudge",0,100,7) doesn't seem to do more than vibration.start("nudge")

Would vibration.start("nudge",0,100,7,"yes") be any better?
