      HOLY πŸ¦† it's working! How did that happen?! Maybe the 'trust' action that I did in the terminal did the job?

        More observations = more data!

        On OTA15, Stable, the Pebble will not stay connected and reconnect as reliably. In fact it's pretty impossible to connect.
        On the Edge release channel, the Pebble works much better but the phone screen stops rotating! 😡 I have since been informed that this can happen sometimes and it's usually cured by a reboot.

        BUT...
        on the Release Candidate channel, the Pebble will auto-reconnect as it should AND screen rotation works! πŸ₯‡

          More Pebble adventures. With the help of @AntiDroid and @Keneda, I created an icon in Launcher Modular that immediately reconnects the Pebble when it's unconnected because it's been too far from the phone, or because it's not detected any movement for half an hour (stand-by mode).
          The icon triggers this command:

          rfkill block bluetooth && rfkill unblock bluetooth
          

          and that results in the Pebble reconnecting instantly.
          Here is the image I'm using for the icon in case anyone wants to use it:

            Moar Pebbles, moar problems!
            My Steel works really well with UT and Rockwork these days. Now a new friend came to my door today: a Pebble Time Steel. I would love to use both Pebbles alternatingly, depending on my plans for the day.
            But Rockwork sees only the Steel, connected or not, and does not offer a way to connect a second Pebble. I can connect the Pebble to the bluetooth of the phone just fine, but I can't use Rockwork to interact with it.

            Ideally I want Rock work to show two Pebbles, and connect to the one that I'm wearing that day. As a workaround, a separate instance of Rockwork with its own settings might also be an option.
            Does anyone have any ideas about whether this is possible, and if so, how?

            Since writing this I have learned that Rockwork does work with more than one Pebble! Just connect the new Pebble to the Bluetooth of the phone, and it will show you the option to manage one Pebble, or the other. 😍

                @moem Thanks for all the information. With your help I was able to pair a Pebble Time with my Pixel 3a (Xenial, as Rockwork is not available on focal yet). I guess the 'trust' option in bluetoothctl did the trick. Are you still using your Pebbles?

                    @moem Great! May I ask which Firmware version you are running on the watch? I am still on 3.6.1 here.

                      @lioh-0 I'm on v4.3 which I got from Rebble.io. As far as I know, you need an Android for that (I keep an old, wifi-only Androidish, just for that). Nowadays, it might be possible to run a Pebble app on Waydroid too. I haven't tried.

                        @moem yes, It's only possible from Android e.g. using Gadgetbridge. A 4.4 FW is also available. Usually download Updates from here: https://github.com/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Pebble-Firmware-updates

                          Ah yes. I've always used old, side-loaded Pebble apps.

                            @moem how exactly have you managed to create the reload icon? Or do you have found another solution for the disconnect issues?

                              I used Launcher Modular, which allows you to make a launcher for a custom command. But I don't actually need or use that anymore. It works well enough without it.

                                Rockwork works amazingly well on Xenial. Hopefully we can have it on Focal in the future. It's a great app. I am ready to help with it when needed.

                                  @malditobastardo It does, and that would be great, and YES please! I will not move to Focal otherwise. Gotta have my Rockwork and my Pebbles!
