I had no luck finding a way in Connect IQ to access accelerometer data? This would e.g. enable custom sleep tracking and soft wake alarm (i.e. that makes the alarm go off when you are detected to be in light sleep).
There is currently no access to the accelerometer data from ConnectIQ. This has been requested in the past, and they know people want it, but it doesn't appear to be at the top of their list (yet).
It's been abandoned for now. It's a highly requested item, but often times the requests are followed by "and can I get 2000 samples/sec so I can <insert use case here>?" and I have to go into a long rambling answer about how my bytecode interpreter won't be able to keep up with the data on the wearable. I'm hoping future versions of CIQ will have improved performance (*cough* native methods *cough*) so we can give full accelerometer access, but I don't want to provide an API that will only be a disappointment.
With access to low sample rate accel data, it would be possible to add the wrist-flick backlight feature to watch faces.
actually, there was an idea sometime back in the F3 thread I was involved in. The idea is to use the entering/exiting of the low/high power state to turn on the backlight.
I think that's a good idea but can only be implemented in the custom watchfaces.
It's an idea I've toyed with but never executed cos I too hung up on a current project which is getting my Ladies underwear in a bunch. Lol..

This is not possible. The Toybox.Attention module (which is the only access to controlling the backlight), is only available to watch-app and widget app types (not watch faces).
