I need a widget to stay active for as long as the user do not close it and running a widget as an app allows this. I know my Fenix 7S Pro has that feature. Is there a list somewhere that states which device has that feature?

They need to remind people to take their dog or kid with them if they REALLY want to keep them safe.
what if the car battery dies? Seems that will kill both the AC and monitor.
And it's not like Telsa has not had problems with their self driving stuff!
If the car battery dies, the Tesla app on your phone will notify you but my app will also let you know after two minutes since the data will get stale.
They do warn not to leave people inside and it's not design so you can be far away from the car with dog inside but for example an unexpected stop at the grocery store while you have the dog with you.
The problem with FSD is people trusting it too much. It's still a Level 2 ADAS and it's the fact that it works so well that people get complacent with it which can bring catastrophic result.
I went for a Ottawa/Toronto round road trip, 450 km each way, using FSD 12.3.6 last May. My only disengagements were when I wanted to quickly pass slower vehicles on regional roads and during downpours on highways because the auto speed was maxed too low. Beside the heavy rain events, I never had such a relaxing long drive. Boring regional roads and highways were, well, boring. Small cities we crossed were handled perfectly.
In Toronto, that Friday night, we went through downtown to go eat and the downtown traffic didn't phase it. The only road I deactivated it was on a road under resurfacing where manhole covers were protruding too much. Cyclists, pedestrians (including beggars between two lanes), cars halfway out of driveways, tramways were handled perfectly. I got honk once though because the car didn't go through on a red. Well, that's Toronto for you lol.
We did many trips in busy downtown Toronto on Saturday. My only interventions were because I wanted to take a different route/lane than the one suggested and also when someone cut me off but that's by habit. I'm sure the car would have reacted to it too.
We also went to Vaughan for dinner and again, no drama. People who were with me were impressed by how it drove, with zero intervention.
We went watching some nice neighborhoods over there and drove in FSD without a destination set. It did some unexpected left and right unprotected turns in the neighborhood as if it knew we were sight visiting lol. We weren't expecting it to do that. Made us laugh.
Sunday, we did the opposite 450 km, 5.5 hours trip and it also was uneventful, even during downpour on regional roads.
Yeah, it requires supervision but that's far less than the micro management that manual driving requires. It made those two long drives so much more relaxing than my previous trips and allowed me to focus on the safety aspect of the driving in downtown Toronto and not the traveling itself, which it handled almost perfectly.
There, you have it. My anecdotal experience with FSD in different traffic scenarios. Yeah, being so good in can lull someone into inattention with possible catastrophic result, but is that the fault of the system or the responsibility of the person behind the wheel?
The safe option IMHO would be not that you get notified 2 minutes after the battery died, but that the car's app will open the door (not unlock, but pop it open) when the battery is below a certain level. Better to find a run-away dog (even if it takes time) than to find a fried dog
The State of Charge (SoC) field turns red at 25% and the watch (as well as the Tesla app) starts to alert at 20%, That two minutes is if no data is received for that period of time. It's very unlikely that a High Voltage battery would 'drop dead' just like that.
