PlaySoundMobile

Proof of concept for a Find my Phone feature on iOS using a Pebble watch. iOS is notoriously locked down — this explores whether Pebble.playSound() can be leveraged to trigger audible alerts from the watch despite Apple's limitations.

Select a sound type from the menu, and the C side tells PebbleKit JS to call Pebble.playSound() on iOS.

Requires: the companion mobile app running on the paired iPhone — coredevices/mobileapp

Features

• Voice / Alarm / SMS sounds and their loops
• Volume control: max (with exact step calc), down, show current %
• Alarm + Vol Max: raises volume to max, then plays alarm
• Voice+Alarm+Max Lp: raises volume to max, then alternates voice/alarm every 1.5s (select again to stop)

Build

Requires a custom PebbleOS SDK built from PebbleOS:

# Build the SDK (once)
cd ../PebbleOS
pip install -r requirements.txt
./waf configure --board asterix --internal_sdk_build
./waf build
./waf bundle

# Build the app
pebble sdk install --tintin /../PebbleOS
pebble clean && pebble build --sdk tintin

Target: flint only. Uses the local SDK at PebbleOS/build/sdk/flint.
