This is a feature request rather than an App suggestion.
Would it be possible to add an OS feature to wake up widgets under certain conditions?
e.g. something like:
System.registerWakeUpEvent( method( :onGpsEvent ), System.WU_EVENT_GPS, [ Location, Radius ] );
System.registerWakeUpEvent( method( :onHrEvent ), System.WU_EVENT_HEARTRATE, [ minRate, targetRate, maxRate ] );
System.registerWakeUpEvent( method( :onGoalEvent ), System.WU_EVENT_GOAL_STEPS, null );
...
function onGpsEvent( loc, direction )
{
// do something location related
// direction = true: entering Geofence, false: leaving Geofence
}
...
function onHrEvent( rate )
{
// do something heart rate related
// e.g. send a warning web request to a health monitoring system
}
...
function onGoalEvent( goal )
{
// do something goal
}
The OS would bring the Widget to the foreground and do an attention beep perhaps?
I'm hoping this wouldn't add much to the idle power budget of the watch and open the door to all sorts of possibilities for the IoT world (home automation, healthcare, etc.)
If I could have this by next week and available on the Forerunner 235, I'd be very grateful ;-)
Cheers,
