Plug Off Airplane vs TpmsMonitor
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
Plug Off Airplane
This is a very simple app that turns off Airplane Mode when the USB cable is plugged in. The idea is to make sure Airplane Mode is turned off at least once a day, in a safe location in terms of metadata: the home. Your telecom already knows your device belongs to its billing address. This makes it easier to use Airplane Mode to disable the cellular radio during the day, when it is not needed.
TpmsMonitor
TpmsMonitor allows to parse, show and store pressure and temperature as received by Bluetooth Low Energy tire pressure monitor sensors (TPMS). These sensors do not allow to establish a connection to other devices, but rather broadcast the readings as they see more fit (usually when a change in pressure or temperature is detected), requiring companion apps to just be listening for incoming messages.
