Smartwatch sync app
-
@jiho Thanks thats great all sorted on the install just the pairing to go. Fingers crossed.
-
@lakotaubp Hey just wanted to say sorry about earlier I totally miss read your question. I thought you were refrencing a phone not a watch
-
@bradman1171 That was @Rebecca58 not me
-
@jiho Detected on both OP5 and Pine but no pair through app or System Settings (which detects but says no signal) will retry tomorrow. Thanks for the help anyway.
-
@jiho Finally got in. Took numerous restarts of app and OP5 and still not sure what did it but on tried to connect just as pine cone nearly finished going green. All working well. Worked out that if PineTime was connected to another device that showed the no signal in UT. PineTime connects to the Allow connection button but will not accept connection. More fun for later. Thanks for your time and effort on this.
-
@lakotaubp I am glad it worked. I noticed getting problems pairing the device after flashing the firmware version 1.3.0
-
@rebecca58 I did add default BLE uuids to the app. If the watch supports them, SOME things should work, IF you are able to pair the watch and the watch supports them.
It all depends on how the manufacturer implemented the functionality and if you are able to pair the watch. The only way to communicate that is currently implemented in the app, is BLE.
However, the chances that it just works... Are not very high....

Hey @jiho app is working well so far on firmware 1.4. Connection is holding steady so far, love your work!
-
Installed the app on my Nexus 5 today, and it works like a charm. Connected through the app at second attempt. So far I have not been able to connect with my Xiaomi Mi A2.
-
The one thing I have noticied is that the initial connection is now quicker and lasts longer on the OP5 with 1.4 Once that connection drops out it will not re-connect. The OP5 says connected for about a second then it drops out. So without investigating further I suspect the PineTime is rejecting the connection, which is a known issue at ther end.
Still no connection on PinePhone but that may be a permission problem with the phone also known about. -
Hello ! I don't know if that's any help but I tried your app on a Garmin smartwatch. It's detected under a different name (which I guess is the BT dongle or sth) but i does connect to some extent: sometimes through the normal connection process, sometimes when the watch isn't in pairing mode (but BT on, of course).
In both cases, the app doesn't seem to access the data - it displays heartrate and steps monitor, but that's it - they're empty. On another hand I don't use smartwatches usually, so maybe these are data that only display after some time on the phone. Anyway that's a great initiative, best luck ! -
@lakotaubp That is good to know! I need to test it on different devices, I haven't been able to connect with 1.3.0 at all.
There seems to be a problem with the PinePhone in general at the moment. -
@emphrath Hi, it is good to hear, that the app is able to connect! Heart rate and steps won't be able to sync, as no UUIDs have been added yet. If you are able to extract the UUIDs we can try adding it as a device.
-
@jiho Connection with 1.3.0 was more hit and miss for me too. 1.4.0 works a lot better but that rejected connection is an issue .
-
@magnargj Today I succeeded connectin with my Xiaomi Mi A2 for the first time. I have no idea what has changed. It was with firmware 1.4. With the pinephone (siglo) I did not succeed today.
-
In InfiniTime 1.7.0 the characteristic to sync the step count was added.
The app is now capable of syncing steps:
- At every sync the app will sync the steps that were added since the last sync
- If the amount of steps is smaller than the currently saved ones, it will sync the total amount of steps, as InfiniTime does not retain the steps after a reboot.
Also the app will now not sync empty values or "0".
You might have to sync twice after updating the app to first update the device revision, as the app will now check if a characteristic works for the installed firmware version.
-
@jiho Sorry not been around much for the last week or so. Do you mean your app will now sync steps or that the last Infinitime version now syncs steps. Also have there been updates to your app, if so do you have the link?
-
@lakotaubp Don't worry, I wasn't around for a long time either.
I mean both. Infinitime now lets you sync the step count and the app will also do it.
Take the latest build from here: https://gitlab.com/jiiho/uwatch/-/jobs/1851724064/artifacts/download?file_type=archive

@jiho Thanks will give it a go.
Edit: All works, I now have steps. Like the app icon too. Great wirk thanks -
@jiho Was just wondering how this was developing and if it was close to being in the OpenStore. Thanks
