Need two things more for my watch face. TZ & WX

Greeting all!

I am developing a WF for myself. It’s complete EXCEPT for 2 things I’d like to add.

It’s analog WF. But I do have a digital one (SMALL), it’s set for UTC. I’d like to be able to change the time zone on the fly if needed.

Before creating my own, I used Pro Analog. Under the battery status is … WEATHER. Like the rest of the world, I would LOVE to have it available too. Anyone know what Pro Analog is written with? I’d switch.

Assistance in making time zone a user setting?
Assistance in adding weather?

Thank you all!

Todd

You to use World Clock complication for that I believe it is Large Box complication Slot

Pro Analog is written in a layer lower than WFS and has access to Samsung Weather app. For Weather in WFS the only option is by using a complication Again I think Large Box has several options for complications you might find one that is right for you.

For weather you could use Developer tools and license a Weather API hopefully you can select the Weather Complication that you shows what you want.

For timezone clock

I followed suggestion given by @Peter

You could try a crude workaround, make 12 images of the extra hour hand each turned to respective angle and add them as styles so you can pick the one with desired difference

(But difference is offset from your local time)

Thank you both for the replies.

I added a world clock. It will work.

Weather… Added a large complication and modified it from the watch selecting weather.

Well… updated watch software.

Host of new problems.

  1. CANNOT connect to the watch any more.
  2. Step count no longer displayed.
  3. Weather (lg) box complication needs font tweaks.

All from sw update on watch.

Hi,

  • CANNOT connect to the watch any more.
    Yea that is complicated now really complicated
    do the run on device as before add the IP address and a box comes up that needs data filled in
    Developer Options same tap on software version to enable
    ADB Debugging
    Wireless Debugging
    once it connects takes a few seconds
    click on the connection and write down the IP address and Port
    Now Click on Pair new device just a bit below this
    write down the Pairing Number
    and the port below the paring number it is different

Put that information into the dialog box
Now a tricky part WFS may still say no device found
DO NOT START A NEW SEARCH
give it a while you may have to ok it on your watch but I don’t think I did
after a while it connects and you can run on device.

  • Step count no longer displayed.

What version of WFS are you using? if it is 1.3.13 you need to update to 1.5.7 or at least 1.4.20

  • Weather (lg) box complication needs font tweaks.
    This is a know issue a lot of the complications seem to mix Title and Text up but Weather has other issues.

Latest just off beta.

I was just running on Device. Not interested in selling it

My step count works fine. I am using 1.5.7 … running on wear os 4 gw 5 now.

Step Tag and Step Complication work great for me.

If this is a complication go to Samsung Health scroll to the end to settings scroll then again almost to the end and allow share with devices and services and add Heath platform.

[SC] is what i am using in a text box

But my next event/calender complication couldnt display at first after update to wear os 4. To fixed it i run on device again. Also hr complication instead of a heart shape displayed the word heatrate. (Re creating the complication and run on device again fixed it)

I dont use [sc]

Just a circle complication, text and title.

Yes, sorry. It is circle complication. Goal is 6k. 2nd circle outside of it for 6001 - 12k. Not in front of computer now

WFS 1.4.20 and 1.5.7 (better option the beta is for the plugin not the Watch Face tool) It uses what the user has set in Samsung or Google Health app. The default for those is 6,000.

Are you using your own progress bar or are you using the Circle slot and selecting Ranged Value type?

The [SC] tag works fine for me and for 3rd party watch faces that I have purchased.

Failed to pair device
Please need data of your device or check your input.

@todd3c Try agian…make sure u on the same wi-fi network
Ensure all number are correct

I also find its unstable but it works

As our gw watch wifi has a time out…once time out u need to redo and try again

Can’t get wifi pairing mode to stay up long enough for it to complete pairing.

@ron your inputs?..i also notices hit and miss with the connection

Try this it might help.

I also am old with poor eyesight and fat fingers so don’t always get it the first time.

Under sounds settings there is one for debugging connected or something like that. I’ve found that works even after WFS says not connected devices it chimes a half minute later and sure enough it pops up. Trying to connect again and again just restarts the process so wait a while.
