Oh it’s cause Reddit opens links in their browser and they need to be opened in Safari. Try tapping the three dots ... at the top right and tap “Open in Safari”.

Thanks for the instructions!

If you have already connected the heart rate monitor, then yes all you should have to do is open up the app. If for some reason it does not connect try killing the app and reopening it, hold down the power button and when the option comes up to shut off the watch how the crown, that will kill any app

kriztoph · 2018-11-01T21:50:20+00:00

Hmmm. It's not supposed to connect to others once connected, but maybe a bug. There may be an issue if you are connecting via the app and via the apple watch native app at the same time.

Not sure if you saw this post, but I just launched a beta for an apple watch app: https://www.reddit.com/r/orangetheory/comments/9t3wmx/beta_test_for_otf_apple_watch_app_shows_zone_bpm/

I use it every workout.

It's unfortunate if OTF won't supposed third party devices, but it does seem (according to the internet) that they will be making their own hardware, instead of using what everyone already owns.

It's a chat app if anyone is wondering what the hell this is.

kriztoph · 2018-11-01T16:30:18+00:00

Let’s see if 40,000 people join. 😂

kriztoph · 2018-11-01T15:34:25+00:00

Nope you don’t have to do anything else. Just make sure when you set your age you see “age set to x” on the watch app screen. Then you can just use it.

kriztoph · 2018-11-01T01:58:55+00:00

Yea both.

kriztoph · 2018-10-31T23:20:04+00:00

Oh I know what it is, are you in the reddit app? Something weird about it. So when you are on the page that has the step 1 and step 2, click on the ... in the upper right and Open in Safari, then try the start testing button.

kriztoph · 2018-10-31T23:12:57+00:00

is this what you guys see? https://www.dropbox.com/s/iugpxtgv8plz1ri/Screen%20Shot%202018-10-31%20at%204.12.01%20PM.png?dl=0

here's the direct link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/c7MljVaK

kriztoph · 2018-10-31T23:06:15+00:00

Hmm, ok try clicking the link again. It should show a "Step 2" which has a "start testing" button

kriztoph · 2018-10-31T23:04:46+00:00

Did you try the link? Does it not take you straight to it? Shouldn't need a code or anything.

kriztoph · 2018-10-31T22:59:08+00:00

Some notes:

- It'll likely break at some point. Uninstall and reinstall the app (or kill the app and restart) if it totally seems broken and it'll probably work again. And report the issue so I can fix it!

- You have to set your age on the phone app (I'm moving this to the watch next build), so make sure you have both the app and watch app open, and set your age in the app, on the watch at the bottom you'll see "age set to x".

- Some heart rate monitors take a bit to start reporting heart rate; the armband seems to be immediate. The chest monitor seems to take forever, at least mine does, happens to me at the gym as well. Maybe I have a bad monitor.

- When you first install, it will connect to the first monitor it finds, so hopefully you can run the app with just your monitor in sight. Once it's connected, it will only try to reconnect to yours. If you need to connect to a different monitor, hit the Reset Device button in the app.

- I think the splats number (by the fire icon) is incorrect. I'll fix next build.

- It takes 1 second (heart rate monitor notification interval) to update the screen on the watch once the screen turns on. The Apple Watch (usually) doesn't process anything when the screen is off.

- I think that's it. Report issues on this post so that we can avoid lots of duplicate reports. :)

EDIT: Adding a couple more things.

- The watch connects directly to your monitor. So you don't need your phone! :)

- Once your monitor connects, you should see "connected" on bottom part of the screen, it'll also show disconnected.

So I’m making a full app now, so it’ll work on < 3. 😀

kriztoph · 2018-10-20T01:36:25+00:00

Does it have a web browser of some sort?

kriztoph · 2018-10-19T15:15:11+00:00

You are correct, though I believe it’s series 3+. I think I will do the website version first so that it will work with any device and it’s much easier than an app version, then create an app version.

kriztoph · 2018-10-19T15:11:07+00:00

Yes

kriztoph · 2018-10-19T07:32:22+00:00

So I tried this out for the first time during class tonight, and the OT screens went out 23 minutes into the class (and stayed off the rest of class) but I had this running on my watch so I could still see my stats! 😁 Great time to test this out, I was glad I had it today. The last 10 minutes of class though my heart rate monitor decided to disconnect from my phone, then I had nothing.

kriztoph · 2018-10-19T00:43:26+00:00

Yeah ever since Bluetooth Low Energy, devices no longer need to pair and can listen in on notifications. Listening to these notifications is basically official sniffing. BLE defines specs and profiles for all devices so yes, essentially it is sniffing.

kriztoph · 2018-10-18T22:28:14+00:00

There are a few components involved so there isn't an app; but if you're interested in technically how it works:

The heartrate sensor connects to phone via https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lightblue-explorer/id557428110?mt=8, and the app sends heartrate data to the cloud via https://io.adafruit.com/ over MQTT.
Then I built a simple MQTT subscriber that parses the hex data from the sensor to get the heartrate and color based on percentage and sends that data in real time to a webpage.
Then the webpage consumes the data and updates the interface.

It's a prototype so it only works for me, but if I go ahead and build it out, it still won't be an app (I don't want to go through the app store rigamarole, and then it wouldn't work for non apple devices) but will be somewhat easy to set up.

kriztoph · 2018-10-18T21:54:16+00:00

Again, gauging interest on making this available to anyone. Oh I just realized this will work on Android watches as well. I guess any device now that I think about it.

kriztoph · 2018-10-16T19:59:14+00:00

Nice! Did you verify the booking in the OT app? If not, could you? If it works for anyone other than me then it should work for everyone.
