Expected behavior

No confusing, misleading, or unexpected logs, messages, menu options, or behavior

The following is a list of issues that could be observed by a G6 Firefly user.

• 1- Temperature is not shown on the system status page. G6 Temperature back #1722
• 2- Add Calibration is not an option. There is only an initial calibration option. "Add Calibration" menu for a Firefly G6 instead of "Initial Calibration" #1727
• 3- The following message is observed after a calibration. Got invalid impossible slope calibration!
• 4- Multiple instances of the following log are observed after a calibration. Received backfill packet out of sequence
• 5- Pop-up option to hard reset transmitter even though a Firefly cannot be reset
• 6- Failure to start sensor
• 7- The following message after calibrating using the treatment menu. Cannot send calibration older than 1 hour.

Summary

None of these issues is critical.
They can all be circumvented, or safely ignored. However, for an inexperienced user, these can be very confusing or time consuming.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Use a Firefly G6, meaning a G6 transmitter with a firmware starting with 2.18 or 2.27.

There are open or closed issues related to some of these:

#1239
#1415
#1310

Plan

I would like to address all of these. However, it may take time. We have to ensure nothing is affected negatively before any fix is accepted.
