VRM app for Google OS (Wear OS) watches

Beta testing
1

We are preparing to release VRM app for watches that are running Wear OS. (Watches list here, not sure if it’s updated - List of Wear OS devices - Wikipedia)
To install it, first it’s recommended to remove the VRM app from your phone. Then click on one of the links below. It should install the VRM beta on your phone, that includes the watch app as a companion app.
The links to join the open testing group are:
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=nl.victronenergy
Web: https://play.google.com/apps/testing/nl.victronenergy

We have a similar project for Apple watches here - VRM app for Apple Watches

Please share some feedback!
Thanks!

Thank you for the Wear OS app!

My feedback: I am not sure what the dots mean, there is one on the right and one in the bottom. They are not reacting for click or swipe.
Also this one is very subjective, but some colours would look nice, as it is in the android widget.
And how about to have a tile? (Those widget-like things that I can have on my watch swiping around, without starting any apps on the watch.)
One value as complication could be also nice, eg: I could see the solar production always on the main screen of the watch.

The dots show that there are more pages up/down or/and left, right. That’s the standard representation for all the apps for wearable. Just swipe any of the directions and you will see the result.
You can see it even in watch menus

Got it, I have only one dot either on the bottom or the right side, so that’s why I couldn’t swipe anywhere I guess.

Yes, if you have only one Victron installation, and on that one no EVCS and no temperature sensors, then yes :slight_smile:

Thanks for your work, Victron team

can you record a video showing wearOS version and the vrm app version on your phone?

It works perfect on Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 Classic.
A tile would indeed be a very welcome addition.

Mine seems to be showing an 11w DC load as an AC load on my Samsung Galaxy Watch Classic. Do I need to configure something?

There is no separate DC load displayed, it is just load. We have to design it for a small screen, we can’t put in there all the possible system types.

Got it installed on my Pixel Watch 3. Only issue I see is that all other apps allow me to swipe to the right to close. Swiping right does nothing on this app, have to press the crown to clear the screen and I’m not sure if the app is still running in the background.

Ah, That explains it – Thanks for responding!

It’s a useful app to have, so great that you have produced it.

Dear all,

We have just released the watch app for VRM in the public VRM app, so you can switch back to the non-BETA version of the app if you want to.

Thank you for your feedback while the watch app was in BETA!

but I cannot move off this screen

WearOS4.0 on Watch5Pro

19

do you have the vrm app opened on your phone?

20

Yes I do… Logged in and out and watch is connected as well using the home assistant template so I know it’s communicating.

21

can you close the app on the watch or maybe restart it? Just as a test. Thanks !
