best way to track custom input data?

pmars 11 months ago

I have written a simple Migraine tracker. Currently one inputs data such as strength and medication on the watch and it starts an activity, stores the data in the session and saves it to a fit file. This seems very convoluted to keep track of just two Integers, but at least it lets me access the fit files from the device.

Is there an alternative or even better way to accomplish this and to ideally also get a graph out of this in the connect app?

Thanks for the input

Maybe send it to an api? Then you could either request the data back from the api and display it on the watch or even view it on the web.

That would be beautiful, but the last time I tried to do something with WebRequests I failed mostly because the only server I have is behind dyndns and let's encrypt, and garmin won't allow traffic to it.

then you can run a webserver on your phone. Or maybe not even needed to have a webserver but a companion app, and the CIQ app can send the data to it.
