First month of the new year 2021 has delivered tons of new devices. We are happy to see new people stepping up and providing the initial support for these watches:
- Wasp-os - Daniel Thompson
- Amazfit Neo - xaos
- Amazfit GTS 2 Mini - Andreas Shimokawa
- Huami Zepp E - Andrew Watkins
- Amazfit GTR 2e - Jochen S
- Amazfit GTS 2e - Andreas Shimokawa
- Amazfit X - Stefan Bora
Many thanks to all contributors!
While new devices' support is flowing in, this doesn't mean that all features and functions of these newly added devices are working, but the initial support typically already provides many important aspects required for day to day usage. It also offers a very convenient way to look at these devices in more detail and help to improve their support further. These Gadgetbridge releases (0.53.0, 0.54.0 and 0.54.1) also contain many small and big fixes and improvements all over the place :).
We are super happy to see a wasp-os in the list of supported devices, added by Daniel Thompson himself. Wasp-os (Watch Application System in Python) is an open-source firmware for smart watches that are based on the nRF52 family of micro controllers. Currently this includes the hacker friendly PineTime from Pine64, the Senbono K9 as well as the Colmi P8, which is a popular device with watch modders.
There have been many improvements done to the Fossil HR thanks to ongoing work by Daniel Dakhno. It is an interesting piece of hardware and software, which to some extend provides similar feature set known from the Pebble. Ongoing development has been focusing on support in Gadgetbridge but also on the recently introduced app ecosystem of this watch, which is now in early stage provided by the Fossil HR SDK.
For those tracking their sports results in Gadgetbridge, imperial units settings is now honored in the Widget, Activity list and Sports Workouts. We have also added a small improvement when exporting a GPX track recording, allowing OpenTracks to not duplicate these exports.
