Does anyone know if the new #Pebble smartwatch is supported by #GadgetBridge? I'd really like to get back into sleep tracking.
I just don't want to hand my data over to anyone.
Thomas@rl_dane Pretty sure it is, but you lose out on features. Micro Pebble is a really good OSS alternative.
I helped test both the Time 2 and the Duo and was not impressed with the Time 2 at all. Colours are dull. But now they've enabled the speaker and touch screen it could be better, I just cba with it. The company is a mess and gave back nothing to rebble.
Do you have any hardware recommendations? All I really care about is good sleep tracking.
@rl_dane I'd also love something that just does sleep tracking, I've heard the sonar based devices aren't great. I'm sure sleep for android listed some kind of band that does tracking. I don't have the app installed right now.
Sleep as android by itself with your phone placed on the matterace is really good, it's what helped me realise I had sleep apnea. Just have to get used to the weird UI.
This one?

Does it work without networking?
@rl_dane Yep. It's awesome, been using it on and off for ~20 years now. All offline, it can do various backups, has a ron of plugins, connects to almost anything. Does sleep tracking, sound tracking, light tracking. Can even work as an alarm with various features, like math to make sure you're awake or nfc tags to scan. Can help with lucid dreaming. It's insane.
Thanks, trying it out!!
Skölpadawan@rl_dane I don't know the answer to your question (yet), but I'm listening in. I'm expecting my new Pebble soon :)
From elsewhere on the thread, it seems MicroPebble is a good FOSS client.

Gadgetbridge has some pairing trouble with the new Pebbles, but there's an open PR to resolve that. Otherwise they are fully supported, especially if you install the optional Internethelper for Gadgetbridge app, which enables the appstore and internet-related functions on the watch. The only thing I see in the micropebble feature list that we don't have yet is voice recognition. But then we have other features that micropebble doesn't have 🤷♂️

Nice! Who and what does the internet helper send info to, is it known? Is that part FOSS as well?
@rl_dane
The internet helper is a small app that provides low-level networking capabilities to Gadgetbridge so that Gadgetbridge itself doesn't need to request the INTERNET permission. The app itself doesn't do anything, it just allows Gadgetbridge to access the appstore and forward internet requests from watch apps. More info here: https://gadgetbridge.org/basics/topics/internet/
And of course it's open source: https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Internethelper
