Pixel Watch 2 - Privacy Preserving Setup
I've been trying everything i could think of to make the watch work under GrapheneOS - Here is what i learned:
This is obviously unacceptable. So i did a bit of research and found a way that will not only be way more practical, it will also be private.
First i created a second user on my Phone, installed Google Play Services and the pixel watch app on it, logged in with a newly created google account and completed the setup.
I know some people use a chinese version of the WearOS app to bypass the google login. Since i don't want a chinese app to configure my watch, i didn't even try that.
After the watch was set up, i continued and:
The watch is now in a state where i can use it daily.
But i also want to make use of all those fancy quality-of-life features, like heartrate monitoring, sleep tracking and so on.
Now comes the fun part.
I've created a basic Kotlin project with both a mobile and WearOS app.
I will implement features like:
The goal is to keep the watch offline, let the phone do the heavy lifting and communicate with a selfhosted database. I may even add a frontend and an API so people can integrate it for their needs.
Sounds good but why don't you just buy an #opensource #smartwatch like the #pinetime - You may ask.
Because as much as i hate to admit it, i love the design, the look and feel of the pixel watch. And i'm sure that i'm not the only one.
I also bought this one cheap for around 120โฌ #refurbished. So the value i can get out of it seems pretty good to me.
So much for today. I haven't even started tackling the Bluetooth connection yet ๐ . Let's see how that turns out
I have added a poll to this post to see how many people would be interested in a setup like this. Please let me know if you have any suggestions, ideas or expertise in that regard.
Cheers.
