Pebble Watch app

yes same pw to the particle cloud

Do you know how to use Cloudpebble?

I might need to get you to capture some log files for me.

no never heard of it

OK, never mind.

Is your door working with the iOS or Android phone app?

Is it just the one door?

yes it is working on my android app and just one door

I’m not sure what to suggest here other than to get you to use Cloudpebble to acquire a log file for me and post the results. If you’re happy to do this, grab the source code from http://web.aanet.com.au/~summersfamily/garadget_controller_(0.7).zip.

Go to http://cloudpebble.net, set up your Pebble account to use it and import the zip file as a project. You’ll need to turn Developer Mode on on your phone, then in Cloudpebble, click Compile and View App Logs, then you can run the watch app and see all the debugging messages. If you copy these, change the URL’s (because they’ll have a security token in them) and send the log back to me, it may shed some light on what’s happening.

Sorry, I know that’s a lot of hassle, but the only other option is setting a temporary password on your garage and letting me play with your door.

Hi Peter,

I have a Pebble Time Round connected to my iPhone 6S.

I downloaded your beta app tonight as I received and installed my Garadget yesterday.

Installed the app, entered my username and password and bang, found my door, works a treat. Thanks a lot its great to be able to use my watch to open and close.

Just one little, little thing I noticed.

When i open the door,and it has finished opening, the screen still says “closed” until I press the “?” button and then changes to “open”.

When I close the door, and it finishes closing, the screen changes to “closed” without having to push “?” button.

I like the way it works when closing and thought that it may have a small bug that stops it behaving like that when opening.

its only a small thing, love the app and would be happy to pay for the final version.

thanks again

P.S. is there meant to be any colour on the screen? mine is all black.

HI, Monty

I’ve seen mine do this as well, but only occasionally and not enough to be able to reproduce the problem, work out what’s going on and fix it.

Does yours do this consistently?

If you have the Garadget phone app, does it work properly?

Mine does it every time when opening but never when closing.

iOS phone app is working fine.

Hope this helps

I presume it goes from “Closed” to “Opening” to “Closed” again, is this correct? Or does it never say “Opening”?

Yes, the screen is intended to be black and white. I’m trying to support the widest range of watch hardware possible, and also to get the best screen contrast. I may add color later, but I’m more interested in getting it working properly.

Too bad Pebble is gone, it’s part of Fitbit now.

They bought the software and presumably want to do something with it, but it remains to be seen what. They didn’t buy the company.

I’ve released a quick update to fix a problem that’s emerged recently, though there’ll need to be another update to fix it better. I was planning to revisit it over the holidays anyway.

I’ve not done much with most of my apps since I added support for the Time 2 :frowning: and I could do with a new project.

Now I’ve fixed it properly so that it will work if the interface is enhanced.

Holding down the select button now reinitializes the app, which saves exiting and restarting.

Just wanted to point out that this was a terrific surprise for when I got the Garadget. I had no idea that there was a Pebble app, but it is now one of my Quick Launch apps on my Pebble Time Steels.

If I could make two minor suggestions… I would rename the app to just be Garadget as opposed to Garadget Control as the latter gets cut off when viewing the name of the app on the watch. It would look cleaner as just Garadget. Also, it might be cleaner if the status states started with a capital letter instead of being all lower case.

And while color would be nice, I understand the idea of KISS.

Thanks again for making a great little app to go along with a great little device.

It keeps it simple, and it gives the best possible contrast on the display.

The source is available if you’re feeling creative. :slight_smile:

LOL! I definitely understand the idea of keeping in B&W. That was more of a super-wish…

As for the other minor thoughts, I’d be happy to give that try.

Hello,

I’m venturing a guess that recent events as discussed at 401 in REST API Even With New Account impacted this app, as it’s no longer allowing me to login to my account in the settings screen for the app on my phone.

I absolutely loved being able to control my Garadget with my Pebble time, I was curious if anyone could do something to fix the app/change the authentication steps… I’d even be happy to toss a donation to whomever’s way.

Pebble is still very alive and well thanks to Rebble, so the updated app could either be shared here and installed manually or could even be re-uploaded to the Pebble/Rebble store if @petersumm is still around.

That would be great; I’m still proudly rocking mine:

Yes! I just saw this past week that the app won’t let me sign in anymore. I am very disappointed that I cannot use by Pebble watches to control Garadget.

:frowning:
