So, I am looking into alternatives for the MR3040 right now and found that any with OpenWrt will work (unless I'm wrong??), but while I am searching for that, I have a question:
What happens when I let my screen time out? As in, if I set up for an interval timer, can I close the screen and it continue. Also, how long is the reconnection when turning the screen back on?
I ask because I intend to use this set up more for self photography and just need to make sure I am in the right place and how I want it then set the phone aside and take some shots. I don't want to drain my phone by leaving the screen on constantly. If it reconnects within a few seconds, I have no issues since I'm not wasting anyone's time but my own, but if it's a long process or takes a hot minute, I might have to reconsider.
