Document best way to use xDrip+ with Tizen

[jamorham]

I don't know anything about this. What is the best way to get xDrip+ data displayed on Tizen watches?

Feel free to add to this issue with any documentation and I will incorporate it to the WatchGuide.md file.

[ralf-ms]

There is one solution for tizen watches, which lets you mirror any application widget on your phone to your watch as again a widget or as a watchface.
For this you have to install the app “Wearable Widgets” on your phone (google play store) and on your watch (samsung gear app store).
There are 2 versions for the watch: wearable widgets as widgets and wearable widgets as wachtfaces.
When you start wearable widgets on your phone you can select the widget you want to mirror to your watch. Choose the xdrip widget.
On your watch you will find wearable widgets (widget version) under “additional widgets”, select this and you will get the xdrip widget on your tizen watch.
If you’ve installed the wearable widget watchface you will find this under the watchfaces menu on you watch.
There are some hiccups with both version though.
It may happen, that after a lost bluetooth connection the widget or watchface will never get updated again (which is not obvious and sometimes hard to notice) until you delete the widget and set it up again. For the watchface you have first to choose another watchface and then switch back again. In most cases you will have no problems, but it can occur, so keep that in mind.
It is therefore advisable to add the time to your widget (you do this in xdrip) to see if the bgl displayed on your watch is the actual level and not a value from hours ago (the time of the widget gets updated by the phones widget together with the bgl). If you want to use the watchface mind that the time of the widget may lag behind the actual time a few minutes.

Great watch app when xdrip works. Someone's gotta work out the new bugs on xdrip

[Houbanny]

Hello I loved my gear S3, but because Samsung no longer supports updates for Wearable Widgets app. I use it no longer. I switched to Android Wear. Too many lost connection problems.... Can somebody with a bit of Tizen programming skills make a good app with connection to the Xdrip+ app on the phone?
I know for sure many gear owners are waiting for that!!!!

[arty-name]

Here is my current solution to get at least the current glucose level and the trend to my Samsung Gear Sport.

1. I have installed WatchMaker to be able to put stuff on the watch face.
2. xDrip shows the persistent notification with the current glucose level and the trend.
3. I have installed the AutoNotification to get this value from the xDrip notification.
4. I have installed Tasker and configured it to respond to the event from AutoNotification by a) copying the notification title from the %antitle variable to the %GLUCOSE variable; and b) sending the latter to the WatchMaker
5. In the WatchMaker I have added an expression {tglucose} to my watch face.

So when xDrip updates the glucose info in the notification, AutoNotification catches that, grabs the text and gives it to Tasker, who sends it to WatchMaker, who renders it on my watch.

I don’t like this solution and this should be simpler but I worked with what I have. At least the AutoNotification should not be needed and the xDrip should provide this data in the event to the Tasker. This is already suggested in #122 but the issue seems to be abandoned.

[arty-name]

I’ve figured out that actually the AutoNotification is not needed in the setup because Tasker can extract the title of the xDrip notification by itself. It puts it into the %NTITLE variable.

[Ecco5]

Can you please give us a step by step procedure how to setup everything. I installed all the apps, but don't know how to proceed. Thanks in advance.

[arty-name]

Here you go: xDrip+ values on Tizen

[Ecco5]

That's awesome, I'm speechless. Thanks so much.
Although I have a problem. The variable %NTITLE displays as 'AppPermissionMonitor:APMapplist' in Watchmaker while %TIME displays ok.

[Ecco5]

I saw that my NFC was switched off. I restarted smartphone and smartwatch and for the moment Gear S3 and Samsung S8+ are displaying the values as should. I will report if problems occur again.

[dave1812]

You don't even need an app to view Xdrip on a Tizen watch IF you use no newer version of xDrip than the 7/15/18 version. My wife and I both have Gear 2 watches and they work fine if we use the 7/15 version. Newer versions won't work and the developers haven't seen fit to fix the problem which I've complained about repeatedly, to no avail. Very frustrating!!

[Ecco5]

Dave1812, can you point out how you managed to get Xdrip version 7/15 on the Tizen watches. The method of arty-name anyhow is superb.

[dave1812]

No app needed. A uses the Android notifications to present the data on the screen every 5 minutes.

On a Gear S3 most notifications are indeed displayed but not all.
Notifications of category 'no category' from Xdrip are only diplayed on the smartphone S8+ but are not forwarded to the Gear S3. The Xdrip glucose results within range get a notification in this category.
Maybe this is different for the Gear S2 or for some nightly build versions of Xdrip.
On the Samsung S8+ in Settings 'Other - No Category' notification settings looks a bit different than all other categories and have less options than the other categories.
You can see all this if you click and hold the notification of xdrip on your phone. Than choose details. There you can inspect and change the settings of all the Xdrip notifications.

[dave1812]

Have you tried using the 7/15 version of xDrip? They broke the functionality shortly afterwards

[Ecco5]

They probably changed the notification category of the measurements within range, but there was no need to.
Of course with the procedure of arty-name you don't need them. Besides the continuous display of values you still get notifications of values that are out of range and that's alright.
I use MiaoMiao instead of Blucon since recently and version 7/15 probably doesn't have Miao.
Here my watchface. The values below are the accu levels of smartwatch en smartphone, on the right side the time the value was sent by Xdrip.

It is ok with Wearable Widgets on Galaxy Watch

[Ecco5]

I tried Wearable Widgets on the Samsung Gear S3 about a year ago.
If the watch looses bluetooth connection for a while, the watch face usually isn't able to regain actual data.
I tested again recently but still the same issue.
I am using the Wearable Widgets app on the Gear S3, but mostly I have to call the app twice after each other before the data is displayed correctly.
The watchface of Watchmaker with the data of Tasker is much more stable.
It usually regains the connection by itself and if not, starting wachmaker is enough to fix everything.

[dave1812]

I tried wearable widgets for my Gear 2 (since xDrip hasn't fixed their issue with broken code that is preventing android notifications to go to the watch, sometime shortly after the 7/15/18 version, which does work fine), but the lack of a clock is unacceptable to my wife and I. I took a look at Wearable widgets clock faces, and there is but one meager digital clock and it's really pathetic, so I uninstalled WW and resumed the use of android notifications to show me glucose values every 5 minutes, by using the 7/15/18 version of xDrip.

[tinybunni]

I've been using the older version so I can keep the static notification on my watch so I can just scroll the side to view my blood sugar. However, I have just upgraded to a g6. Will the 7/15/18 version work with the g6 or am I just going to have to live with no longer having the notification until they fix it (if they do...I keep sending the feedback and it's still broken)

Can you help us?

Thanks!

[ralf-ms]

Hi, I choose the "wearable widgets as widgets" (and not as watchface).
The trend arrows were changed a couple of months ago within the xdrip software.
What you now get, is just a simple white arrow on the widget, as shown below.

[m1st0]

This is an interesting workaround with Tasker based on taking the notification glucose value %NTITLE and then sending it though to a notification path that Tizen watches for as they did for the Withings watch. Different platform, but the idea is simple enough. I haven't yet built the whole workaround through Tasker but it is an alternative if other methods are a loss. https://www.reddit.com/r/withings/comments/5h2ywy/steel_hr_notifications/

[tinybunni]

I'm having trouble getting wearable widgets to function as a widget instead of a watchface. Is there a setting for that somewhere?

[Robkeano]

Been reading your posts with great interest as recently bought a Galaxy Watch and downloaded all apps suggested before my maomiao arrived. I set up Xdrip+ and mirrored to my new watch and did the same for Tomato using Wearable Widgets (not the Watchface one as seams to have gone on Samsung Wear store).

Tomato app on my Samsung S9 phone worked well but didnt seam to be able to connect onto my Watch. So I set up Xdrip+ and followed the instructions on the MiaoMiao website. Then used less common settings within Xdrip+ to be able to you use Galaxy Watch rather than WearOS.

To my surprise and wonder it worked. It does disconnect from time to time, but in Wearable Widgets click three lines in top right and press refresh device, which re-connects the display on Watch straight away. This was using the latest version of Xdrip+ as well Feb 2019.

The only thing I cant seam to add is the time (from suggestions) to know when disconnect happened. If anyone can advise on this?

So, so happy Ive managed to set up. This will be additional ease of life functionality to life changing technology that Libre has already given me, as I play alot of tennis and work in the field on environmental surveys for work. Never mind notifications during the night. Plus Xdrip+ seams to be more accurate than Libre and closer to my Accu-chek Mobile meter and with the forcasting of lows graphically I thought that was amazing.

I did try to follow using Auto Notification and Tasker for linking to Watchmaker. But couldnt seam to repeat the instructions. I couldnt get the Glucose T to appear. I thought would test next as sounded like this option didnt drop connection out as much. See attached photo of Display on my Galaxy Watch. Hope this now works for you. Rob

[Robkeano]

[Robkeano]

Just an update. Ive now added the time to Wearable Widgets by reducing number of data types showing in Xdrip+ and expsnded the crop area of the image in Wearable Widgets so more info can be showed. So now when connection is lost, I know.

The frustrating last barrier to a fully functional watch was that it kept disconnecting repeatedly. I realised this was to do with battery saving life level limiting some background functions. So flicked to optimised battery life and hey presto a fully functional updating watch and its not lost connection all day.

So Wearable Widgets still fully works even though not updated.

Im still so impressed with all this new technology and the functionality of Xdrip+ is fantastic the more I get to know how to use it.

Hi!
I have used Mr Enigma's guide and it has worked very well for a long time. However, now I have switched the phone to a Xiaomi mi 10 and not get % DELTA to work but it only prints %ansummarytext on the watch face. Everything else works as it should?

Is there anyone who may have some tips on how I can solve it then the function is very good and my skills at Tasker is not very god.

Greetz

I was trying to get your G-watch running. But it won't connect. I wrote in the release notes of v1.2 that you have added a broadcast listener and I added that to the broadcast Reciever list in xDrip but it won't work.....

Did everything what's needed but nothing happens.
xDrip is always up on the latest version, like everything else.

[trupici]

@wagnefrede the watch is connected :)
The problem is no data is received from xDrip. But your xDrip config looks good.

I just tried it with the xDrip build from yesterdy. It works here.
Please, could you try to restart xDrip app?

@wagnefrede, ich habe genau das gleiche Problem.
Hast du eine Lösung gefunden?

It's wooooorking 😉👍🏻 as Viskose mentioned above we both done a major issue 😂
We used the return button instead of the space button when we add sk.trupici.g_watch to the local broadcast reciever in xDrip.

By the way I recently updated to Android 10 maybe 3 hours ago and everything is working really stable ;)

Thumbs up buddy come on coding 😉👍🏻

Thanks for the info guys. I've spent a lot of time looking for the bug in my code :)

The end of month will bring more :)

I still can't connect my AndroidAPS 2.6.1 to the G-Watchface. Any suggestions where I should look, or is this also on your buglist? Xdrip connection is working great over BT.

[trupici]

@systemcure this feature will be available in AAPS 2.7 or now on daggers development branch. It is mentioned in user guide, main G-Watch mobile screen and also in release notes.
It does not depends on me now, it was just released sooner than AAPS 2.7.

Thx for quick reply. Fantastic Job for Samsung Smartwatches! I was already testing alternatives but now I can skip that and have my Gear S3 show me my current BG data without nasty lagging (I had used my Nightscout Website with Gear Browser before.).

[fivepointfiveish]

Hi @trupici, I have a question about the always on display. The brightness is very low, so much that outside I can't see it if's sunny. I think it wasn't like that before but I couldn't run for some time so I'm not sure. I read it's a Samsung limitation to protect screen and battery, do you know anything about it? Is it possible to make it brighter? Not a big problem, just a pity

[trupici]

@fivepointfiveish I doubt the brightness is not under my control. Especially in AOD mode.
I haven't read anything about this limitation. But, today I had a similar problem - my Galaxy Watch was not readable on the direct sun (not AOD) for a while. But when I moved away from direct sun and back the brightness was ok again. May be it was not related to your problem, but I'll try to focus on it and if I find something I'll let you know...

Hi guys, I think I need your help.
For 3 weeks I am not able to publish new version, Galaxy Store is rejecting watch face with error I cannot test on my HW. I need someone with Active 2 watch. And with some skills how to download logs from device (best with Tizen Studio). May be the issue is already present in 1.2 version.
Active 2 watch is not available on samsung test bench yet and I cannot reproduce it on emulators.
Thanks.

Hello, thanks for your reply. Not yet, I'm still evaluating which smartwatch to buy. I was thinking on TicWatch Pro 2020 or Samsung Active 2, seems like the Samsung is better, but I would like to assure it will work with xDrip+Libre. As far as I could understand, this app will do the trick. If you have other ideas or comments, please let me know, thanks!

strange i had it working on an apple watch with spike set up on iphone 8 and macbook air, but apple stopped it and i had to pay apple £100 a year for a certificate to allow it to work it was beyond me so i got a friend programer to do it,he took over my macbook air remotely and did it and i was able to turn off my iphone 8 ,and got my readings on the apple watch ,the certificate has expired now and don't really feel like giving apple £100 for what, every year plus i hate pestering him to redo it he said it took him some time.
