Advanced Settings: Customizing Milo

Available customization

You can customize Milo’s behavior in many ways based on your preferences. For example, you can:

  • Choose a different Milo language 
  • Choose a different Milo name 
  • Record your own name 

Starting with Milo firmware version 8.0.0 and Milo Link app version 1.0.7, we added the following configurability:

  • Out-of-range notifications – Choose your style of range notification messages for when your group goes in and out of range. Descriptive is the current default. You can also choose a more concise style that relies on earcons (sounds), or you can turn off the “out of range” and “returned” notifications completely.
  • Proximity Mute at startup – Choose to power up with Proximity Mute either enabled or turned off.
  • Volume at Startup – Choose “Safe” to always power on Milo at about 50% volume, or “remember last” to power up at a level closer to the last set volume. 
  • Mute indicator – Choose whether or not the LED ring shows when your Milo is muted. Currently, that is an animated white LED indication.
  • Battery alert – Choose if and when a powered up Milo automatically alerts you that your battery is getting low. 

Version 9.0.0 added even more configurability:

  • Custom Milo Name in Milo Link – After you record your name on a Milo you can type in the matching name in Milo Link (up to 8 characters).
  • Voice detection sensitivity – Change based on background noise and your speech loudness.
  • Proximity-aware Duck-My-Neighbor distance – Change the distance of the quiet zone to be smaller or larger depending on what fits your activity best.

How to enable customization

Use Milo Link to customize.

Full Features are in My Milo settings or Advanced Settings, while Preview Features are in Advanced Settings and marked as Preview Features. 

Look for more configurability in future updates. 

If you update to the latest software and don’t see the expected customization options, make sure you have the latest version of the Milo Link app.
