There is both! But the app obviously has a few advantages in our setup:

- it gives much more detailed and fine-grained informations

- it allows user (optionally) to register for automated safety alerts

- but more importantly, it allows users to override themselves the communication protocol of the battery, to adapt it to any bike

For now we've hardcoded Bosch, Bafang, Brose and a few others (more coming), and we plan to open-source the communication protocol soon so that anyone can upload their own WASM code on the battery to talk to any controller!
