Watch App : HRV

Former Member over 10 years ago

HRV app. Discussion, report bugs, suggested features, etc...

HRV
Get the app.

Graphing.
The design currently only saves to 1 location per day. The timestamp is taken when the test starts, so autostart will take the timestamp at the scheduled time. This means that any saved test will overwrite any previous test of that same day. A day is calculated from the local timezone, so travelling won't disrupt the storage so long as you have updated the timezone before starting the test. The averages are a 30 day mean average.

Description & Explanation
Wouldn't that be nice. Will happen, but might take a while.
This page could be useful.

Notes
- Your device must have firmware that supports Connect IQ Apps.
- You can save the results by creating a log file. To do this you must work out which name has been applied to the HRV app file. The apps are in the /GARMIN/APPS folder. It will be a name something like A6227C9B.PRG. You then create a log file with the same name, e.g /GARMIN/APPS/LOGS/A6227C9B.TXT. Each reading you save will output a result formatted as ISO8601 date & time, hrv, avg pulse, 30 day hrv avg, 30 day pulse avg.

Was yielding results on Vivoactive with version 1.1.1 yet crashing after completion. I am looking forward to seeing it work again. Keep up your good work and spirit, I'm patient enough to bear with you... :)

I'm no pro programmer, so I can accept that my code might not be exactly as it should be, despite working in the simulator. But when I saw the vid from sirolfsirolf, and the fact that the font size was different, that was the final straw. I see it as definitive proof, that even when the code is to standard, the published result will differ. We're flying blind.

Fenix 3, with the latest 3.2 firmware.

I saw the app had an update from a message in the forum so used GC mobile to try to upgrade. Although the app showed the newer version it did not seem to realise it needed to be upgraded. So I connected the watch to the PC and used Express which did say there was an upgrade. The upgrade went through and it said it had done it, so I ejected and removed the watch to find the app was missing. I had to re-install it (which I did via GC mobile since I had disconnected by then). I did not notice that in fact everything IQ had been erased and I had to re-install widgets, apps and watch faces too.

This just happened again with the latest HRV update. Said it was updating HRV app and in fact i lost all my IQ apps, watch faces and widgets. :mad:

(sharkbait, please don't think I'm blaming you though, this is likely to be some odd IQ issue. love your hrv app, just need to make sure I backup the data file before trying an update so I can preserve the history if this happens again)

I dont really know the possibilities of connect iq but what about the possibility of record the measures as an activity since hrv is an app like running?! Then we would possibly have the opportunity to analyze data in connect mobile app?! Can you follow my thoughts?
Thanks a lot for your work!

I follow. I have chosen not to enter into communications with Garmin regarding this matter at the moment, but would be happy to discuss should they choose to contact me.

I am slowly piecing together my own implementation of a similar service. I had to take a few courses to learn some of the skills, and make many choices on what software package to code with, etc.. I was hoping to have something up by now, but that hasn't happened. I do believe it will be live before the end of the month.

P.S. Oh, and BTW. AFAIK there is still no field for HRV in the FIT specification. So I would be having to inject a custom field into the FIT file (which we currently don't have access to in CIQ), which means that most services would not know how to interpret the data even if it was included as an activity. So I could actually write my own FIT output to the log file, which you cut and paste into a file and made a FIT file out of, but other services would only recognize the HR portion. Since you can already take a HR reading without the HRV app, it's pointless.

That seems kind of extreme. Why NOT contact Garmin? The CIQ folks have always seemed responsive to me!

Because I think that it first needs to become included in the FIT specification, and at the moment I am choosing not to be the one pushing for that. If I was to devote time to everything I think should be done, then believe me there are far more important things on my list than support for first world toys.

....I can't remove the Vivoactive device as a download option.......

My bad. Finally remembered that the place to remove the Vivo support was in my manifest file.

Hmm... Another developer that is thinking of removing support for VA users.
