task: repeater preset picker with a Temporary (tempradio) checkbox #662
Description
Child of #647. Depends on #661 for the preset entry itself.
What to build
The repeater settings screen has the same four radio fields and already sends set radio <freq>,<bw>,<sf>,<cr> [verified: repeater_settings_screen.dart:781], but it has no preset picker. Add one, plus a temporary-apply option.
- Preset picker on the repeater settings screen that fills frequency, bandwidth, SF and coding rate from the selected preset, reusing the same
RadioSettings.presetslist the companion screen uses. - Temporary checkbox with an editable duration, default 1440 minutes (owner decision, 2026-09-22):
- Checked ->
tempradio <freq>,<bw>,<sf>,<cr>,<minutes> - Unchecked -> the existing
set radio <freq>,<bw>,<sf>,<cr>
- Checked ->
tempradio is real firmware, verified
[verified: CommonCLI.cpp:712-726]tempradio <freq>,<bw>,<sf>,<cr>,<minutes>; validation is freq 150-2500, bw 7-500, SF 5-12, CR 5-8 (the denominator, so 4/5 is5), minutes > 0. RepliesOK - temp params for N mins.[verified: simple_repeater/MyMesh.cpp:1026-1034]It self-reverts: applies after a 2 s delay so the CLI reply gets out first, then schedules a revert at 2 s + minutes. Nothing persists.- It lives in the shared CLI, so repeaters and room servers have it. Companions do not — no CLI there
[verified: companion_radio/MyMesh.cpp:116-117].
Design decisions already made (owner, 2026-09-22)
- tempradio is a checkbox on apply, not a property of the preset. Presets stay pure parameters.
- Duration default 1440, editable.
- TX power is not part of this.
set radiodoes not carry it; TX power is a separate command on repeaters.
Acceptance
- Selecting a preset on the repeater screen fills the four fields.
- Checked + duration sends a valid
tempradioand the repeater repliesOK - temp params for N mins. - Unchecked sends
set radioas before; existing behavior unchanged. - Coding rate is sent as the denominator (4/5 -> 5), matching the firmware range check.
- Owner validates against a real repeater before push.

Moved under Epic C (#733) as its Temporary-checkbox task (owner-approved structure, 2026-10-01). It now depends on C1 #734 (the remote-node picker) instead of #661: presets come from the catalog (Epic B), not the hardcoded entry. Status: back to Todo.
Two firmware facts the build must honor
[verified: meshcore-firmware simple_repeater/MyMesh.cpp:1026-1034]:tempradioretunes the node 2 s after replying. Send it last in a save, or the commands after it go out on the old frequency.2000 + mins*60*1000inint, which overflows past ~35,791 minutes. Cap the duration below that in the UI.Agent: MagentaHawk (session 5a8922d6)

Starting. Agent: MagentaHawk (session 5a8922d6). tempradio is sent last in the save; duration 1-35791 min (firmware int overflow bound), default 1440.

Landed on feat/733-remote-presets as 5a6306c. Checkbox + editable duration (default 1440, 1-35791); tempradio sent last; unchecked sends set radio as before. Tests pin the command strings (CR as denominator), the duration bounds, and the ordering. The live 'OK - temp params for N mins' reply is checked on a real repeater at D1 (#738).
