I am not really good at coding, but my idea would be to program an S+ for the Woo kite sensor.
Maybe it’s possible to show the jump data right on the watch?
How can do this? -
@Egika I don’t know anything about the Woo kite sensor, but I guess you would want to connect to it using BLE. You would need specification of their BLE data format to write an app for it, at least I couldn’t find any documentation for it.
-
@Raimo-Järvi thank you, Raimo!
I’ll check with them. Let’s see.

Hello all, I’m currently mostly vibe coding an app because my programming skills are too low for what I want. I am type 1 diabetic since recently so been looking for a way to track blood sugar without having to constantly look at my phone. Was finally able to get it somewhat working so that the values are being received correctly, just needs some polishing to make it all look a bit better.
-
@aenzed Sounds interesting! Are you receiving blood glucose values from a sensor, or how does it work?
-
@Raimo-Järvi A rather convoluted setup where glucose sensor values are sent to a open source cloud app (Nightscout) for logging. Data is then retrieved from Nightscout API in a self built BLE bridge app which then sends the data to the watch. Internet access is unfortunately required, but for most things that’s not a problem.
-
@aenzed so your Suunto watch connects back to the phone using this BLE connection method with uuids and byte blob reading?
-
@brechtvb Yep, UUID is set in the BLE bridge app and SuuntoPlus app explicitly
The docs have a very nice walkthrough of BLE device connection, although it still took me awhile to get everything working. -
@aenzed do you mean the suunto manual? It also states max 2 devices, is that 2 devices per custom suunto plus app?
-
@brechtvb Yes, the manual/reference sheet in the VS code simulator. I don’t think I can answer that 100% correctly, but from the reference sheet I would say that it is max 2 devices per watch and not per app as they specifically mention watch firmware.
-
@aenzed okay thank you for your input.
This weekend i’m starting on reading a garmin sensor, should not be too hard.
But this limit of 2 sensors is really wild. If one cycles with:
- speed
- cadance
- power
- heart rate
sensor, we are 2 times in the blue. Suunto should really up this number, with just a note/popup that power consumption will go up because of the number of connected devices. That is totally acceptable.
Suunto users understand as well that GPS can be configured less precise for less power consumption.
