This is cool! :nerd_face: I wasn’t aware that Garmin would support BLE broadcast scanning.

In deed it is

Fenix 6 series and Edge 830 has been in the market since last autumn, but they are not in the list yet …

Garmin is very slow in updating their list of compatible devices to Connect IQ Devices

Super! Any plans to show historical RuuviTag data in the widget too, such as 6h, 24h, 7d?

No current plans and no spare time unfortunately!

If you or someone you know is handy with software, please consider contributing to the source code - GitHub - zmullett/connectiq-ruuvitag: A Garmin Connect IQ watch widget that displays RuuviTag sensor data..

A great pity,

But I guess everyone have to accept that.

Merry Christmas and all the best for 2023 .

Best regards

Hello!

Does anyone have experience with this widget regarding Garmin activities?
My main concern is that does temperature/humidity get also saved to Garmin activity and can be analysed in the future or does this widget only display the data in real time?

Hi @qrl. This widget only displays the data in real-time.

FYI I have now authored a Garmin Data Field that displays temperature during your activities and also logs it to the activity for future comparison. Please find it here:

This inspiring use case for this was a user who wanted more accurate and localized temperature data during their hiking/climbing, and observed that while they’re wearing their watch, the watch’s temperature sensor is influenced by their own body temperature.

Hi @Jonttu, @66er, @qrl and anyone else who’s interested: I know it’s been forever and a day since this discussion started, but I am now considering building a paid version of the Garmin RuuviTag widget that supports query of historical measurements (in addition to some other improvements). However, I need to understand more about your use cases first:

  • What value does seeing historical measurements on your Garmin device have, above and beyond using the Ruuvi Station app on your phone?
  • What time period(s) would be useful for this historical data, and why?
  • Does the Data Field product already satisfy your needs (given that it records to your activity log)?
