Announcing Wear OS App for openHAB - testers needed

Hi again

I have been testing some more now, and I found two slightly confusing behaviours.

Two command buttons using the same item get the same label on the watch

I configured two command buttons with:

  • the same String item as command target
  • separate labels: Lås and Lås upp
  • separate fixed commands: LOCK and UNLOCK
  • no confirmation

The phone tile preview displayed both labels correctly. On the watch, however, both buttons were labelled Lås upp, apparently using the label of the second button. The commands themselves still appeared to be configured correctly.

As a workaround I created two separate String carrier items, one for each button, and made both items trigger the same openHAB rule. After changing the second button to the separate item, the labels became correct.

This makes me suspect that the watch-side representation may be keyed or deduplicated by item name rather than by page/slot position.

Theme selection is separate from the tile configuration

I set the page configuration theme to blue and later BLUE, but both the phone preview and watch remained amber. Selecting Blue explicitly under Watch Settings → Theme and syncing it to the watch worked.

This may be intentional because the theme is global rather than per page, but it is confusing that the page configuration contains a theme value which does not appear to control the actual preview or watch theme. Perhaps the page field should be removed/ignored visibly, or the editor could indicate that the active theme comes from Watch Settings.

Apart from these details, everything seems to work as intented.

Sorry for the late reply, currently very busy at work.

Just saw the update to 1.9.9 and then 1.9. 10.

Debug button seems to work, tried multiple times.

EDIT: Removed bug report for options, seems to be related to z2m, not working in OH as well.

Regarding the compilcation issue mentioned above: When clicking on it the correct value and UOM are displayed. Only in the watch face the complications shows the wrong UOM. maybe helps to find the reason for the difference.

Version v1.9.10 was released.

First of all thx for the feedback! This was a bug, fixed in 1.9.10

This is by design. The theme selection at the tile editor is only a preview. I added a warning toast in the new version.

This is also fixed in the new version but I had to uninstall/reinstall the watch app and change the watch face to another and back to clear the cache…
