Garmin smart watch sync wit Ubuntu Touch
-
Hey,
I am thinking of flashing my FP2 with Ubuntu Touch, but I have Garmin smart watch and would need it to sync (sport activities, notifications, etc.) two of them. I checked the Garmin connect webapp, but I guess that one is just for checking what you have done and not for syncing. Does anyone use Garmin (or other) smart watch and can sync with Ubuntu Touch?
Thanks

There a companion app for Asteroid smartwatches.
Regarding Garmin products I don't think it is possible ATM.Using a closed source app to connect to a proprietary hardware is usually hard to port to UT.
In this case it will involve some people motivated enough to reverse engineer the communication protocol between a phone and the watch probably using a bluetooth sniffer...
Not something easy to do and something easily broke up by a software update on Garmin's parts... -
Have you tried gols on desktop ? Garmin on linux sucks...

It can upload activities and daily monitor, no download.Possibles issues:
You have to mount your watch on the phone (I don't know how to)/send fit files over bluetooth (I'm stil trying to pair the phone with my car )...
I'm pretty sure ubports can run python scripts ( as gols is)...
Once you solve the issues you are done qith tracking info.
But, I don't know nothing about notifications.Salut!
