Hi,

I have question related to input data of S+ app. I have an app idea where the S+ app is the core and handles the logic. However, it would need location points as input and these inputs could be user specific and/or exercise specific. Thus the S+ app would require a way to get that input data somehow such that users could provide it.

I tried to discover whether it would be possible to provide the input data using S+ Guides but I did not find any indications from SuuntoPlus Reference that it would be possible to access the json of S+ Guide. If that would be possible then S+ Guides could be created via Cloud API and would be available for S+ app via Suunto App.

Another option I thought was utilizing routes. However I couldn’t find a reference is it possible to access stored routes in S+ app. I.e. I do not want user to start navigation but just have access to location points of stored route.

TL/DR

Is it possible to access S+ Guide (data) from S+ app?
Is it possible to access stored routes from S+ app (without navigation enabled)?

Hi!

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit
Suunto Race S

I can’t connect the watch to SuuntoPlus Editor (to Deploy to Watch), neither via USB nor via BT (after MobileApp > Forget to unpair the watch).

@chus1962 Is the “Discover” option enabled on your watch under connection settings?

Is there a documentation API ? i’m unable to find how to use current (accurate) HR as input (looked for “in” in manifest.json,couldn’t find…). i wish to try calculate HRV with statistics in real time & eventually use it/publish it.

@surfboomerang Yes, of course. Perhaps the problem is with the USB Bluetooth device (Generic Bluetooth Adapter). But what about using a USB connection?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos The documentation says:

*Current watch firmwares:

Suunto 3, Suunto 5, Suunto 5 Peak, Suunto 9, Suunto 9 Baro and Suunto 9 Peak

Support only one connection at a time.
ATT Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) (i.e the maximum length of an ATT packet) is fixed to 23.
Suunto 9 Peak Pro, Suunto Vertical, Suunto Vertical 2, Suunto Race, Suunto Race S、Suunto Race 2、Suunto Ocean, Suunto Ocean Lite

Support two connections at a time.
ATT Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) (i.e the maximum length of an ATT packet) is fixed to 127.*

This looks like a device-wide limit? Will this be improved? This is a strong limitation.

Imagine a cyclist with: heart rate sensor, speed sensor, crank sensor and power meter.

That is very much impossible then.

I have a questions regarding the canvas element:
can I call a drawing function from main.js

@chus1962 I have had some connecting problems as well. I have Suunto Race and for me this worked:

Forget mobileapp from watch.
Connect watch to laptop with bluetooth.
Sometimes the watch show automatically connected in vscode. If not try with “Enable BLE Debug Logging” from Command Palette.
If still not connecting disconnect from laptop bluetooth and start again from start.

@assaf1007 Documentation can be found at least from vscode Command Palette: control + shift + p (or f1) and SuuntoPlus: Open Documentaton

Input for heartrate would be like

"in": [
  {
    "name": heartrate,
    "source": "/Activity/Move/-1/HeartRate/Current", 
    "type": "subscribe" 
  }
],

@Pottu Thanks! As I suspected, my old USB BT Adapter isn’t able to connect to the Suunto Race S. I was able to connect it from another computer.

However, is the USB option via the charging cable not available? (despite what the SuuntoPlus Editor documentation says)

chus1962

Oh! When you sync the watch again with the Suunto App, the app S+ uploaded with SuuntoPlus Editor is deleted… It’s difficult to develop in these conditions unless you have a dedicated watch just for testing.

Pottu

@chus1962 At least my Suunto Race charger seems to be charge only. Mayby some other model has a different cable that can be used to connect also.

That’s what I noticed in the thread about upcoming custom watch faces. When synced, your custom watch face will get deleted… What?
What’s the point then, if you can’t really use it just for yourself?
