Pebble support

[ThomasEmge]

With the new Pebble devices becoming available soon, are there any thoughts on bringing back that watchface capability?
The new device will have a 30day battery runtime due to the updated Bluetooth chipset. It would be very nice if we can get this back in the xdrip app.

Interesting. Is there a good link to catch up on this.

To get started and a general overview
https://repebble.com/

here is a link to the updated SDK
https://github.com/coredevices/pebble-tool?tab=readme-ov-file

and in this article here is a section called "How to build an app and Watchface in 2025".

Is anything not working?
I don't believe there has been any change to xDrip to remove support for Pebble.

It is not loading data - see picture. In order to get it to work - meaning to get the values back on the watch face - other folks rolled everything back to Rebble.
It would be nice to get it working with the new hardware and the new pebble stack though.

What does that mean exactly? What is Rebble?

[ThomasEmge]

Rebble is a group of people, tools, and services that formed after the official Pebble servers/services were turned off. Eric has posted a blog article that puts this into context.

What might have changed between what is working with Rebble (or the old Pebble mobile application for that matter) and the updated Pebble stack, I don't know. It could be something in the Bluetooth connection but I am just speculating.

I plan to do some work on this in the near future.
