Smartwatch sync app
-
@ohnez I would love to be able to support Amazfit devices! Unfortunately I don't have one so I either need help here or I might get one later.
-
@magnargj Thanks! If you'd like to try it out, the CI in gitlab should work now.
-
@jiho Fantastic! Thanks. I was able to install the click package sucessfully, but the app seems to struggle with pairing with the watch. I suspect something is wrong with the bluetooth functionality of the phone. I'm investigating eagerly...
-
@magnargj Which firmware version is currently installed on your PineTime? I also have troubles connecting to a PineTime with InfiniTime 1.3.0. Neither the system settings nor my app are able to connect.
-
@jiho it's 1.3.0. And I manage to connect to other bluetooth devices such as my wife's headphones... So, I think there might be the firmware... It works with my pinephone and siglo... Curtently waiting for the battery to drain sice I managed to send it into a never ending bootloop yesterday
-
@jiho Have a PineTime on the way now so will give this a try when it arrives.
-
@lakotaubp Did you get any luck?
I have a Pixel 3a Ubuntu Touch and I am very interested in getting a pinetime as a smartwatch when its finished or workable!
-
@bradman1171 Only just dispatched from China.S o still waiting.
-
@lakotaubp Very nice!
Be aware though that UT does not seem to be able to connect, if the firmware version 1.3.0 is installed.Many things are not yet implemented, but I am getting there. OTA support and notifications will probably be the next things I'm going to implement.
-
Hey @jiho ! Which firmware version do you use? I guess 1.2 is second best, when 1.3 doesn't work?
Volla 22, Xiaomi Mi A2, Nexus5 (backup)
-
@jiho Are you willing to take pull requests? I was actually thinking about trying to make my own version of this app but then I found out you're already pretty far in! I have an PineTime and Pixel 3a with UT, and I also have a lot of experience with C++.
-
@heyspencerb Absolutely! I'd love to see contributions!
Though I am not using C++ but rather python -
@magnargj Hey! Yeah I am currently using 1.2
-
@jiho Thanks for the tip. Looking forward to trying it.
-
@jiho thanks
-
@jiho Ah, I see! I'm less familiar but for my job I've had to write a lot of python this month as well so I will take a look! Probably for the best in terms of getting something working as soon as possible.
Have you looked at the InfiniTime source code to try and see what they changed from version 1.2 to 1.3? You said the issue now is Bluetooth won't connect?
-
@heyspencerb I didn't look at the InfiniTime source code yet, so I don't know what exactly they changed. The authentication process is being cancelled during the attempt to connect.
-
@jiho Ok, that sounds like a good spot for me to start. I will see if I can find the part that might have changed in the connection process.
-
@jiho Hey, so as a first step I wanted to re-create the issue you had so I installed infinitime 1.30 and then tried to connect and I had no issues at all. The watch connected first try, the time was set correctly to the phone's time and my heart rate data is syncing perfectly.
Maybe there is an issue with your install of 1.3? If I'm just the only lucky one then let me know and I can look over InfiniTime again but I also compared the releases and there didn't seem to be any updates to the connectivity added, only cosmetic and new features.
Since 1.30 is working for me I think I'll switch gears to notifications instead, let me know if you are having trouble with 1.30 still
-
@heyspencerb hmm, I'm not succeeding with 1.2.0 either. I wonder if it is phone dependent?
