FAQPage Schema
How do I check my Android phone connection status during bridge setup?

Check your Android phone connection status by reading the Hermes-Relay /bridge/status loopback endpoint. It reports connection state, device telemetry, bridge permissions, and safety-rail configurations at a glance for validation during setup.

Why does my Hermes-Relay bridge call fail when I use android_tap?

Bridge calls like android_tap can fail due to connection drops, missing bridge permissions, or restrictive safety-rail settings. Query the relay status endpoint to diagnose the exact failure by inspecting current device telemetry and permission configurations.

What device telemetry can I monitor through a Hermes-Relay health check?

A Hermes-Relay health check monitors read-only device telemetry including battery level, screen state, and the foreground app. It also reports connection status, bridge permissions, and active safety-rail configurations from the paired Android phone.

Do I need a running Hermes-Relay server to check bridge permissions?

Yes, checking bridge permissions requires a running Hermes-Relay server on the loopback endpoint 127.0.0.1:8767 and a connected Android phone with the Hermes venv plugin installed to return the current status.

Can I view safety-rail configurations without modifying the active bridge settings?

Yes, the status check provides read-only visibility into safety-rail configurations. It retrieves and displays the current settings from the loopback endpoint without altering the active bridge permissions or connection state.
