Interesting, would you mind sharing your architectural setup? How does your index communicate to your agent server, what is the main agent framework/engine used? Sounds like a cool concept to speak into your watch/wearable which automatically saves or performs tasks on the fly. What is the general execution time from: Prompt received -> final task executed?

So basically there's a /chat endpoint that goes to the LLM (a Pi agent), which has access to call specific tools (web search, SQL execution, cron) but doesn't have filesystem access, so the only thing it can do is exfiltrate data it can see (pretty big, but you can't really avoid that, and it doesn't have access to anything on the host system). There's a Signal bridge that runs on another container to connect to Sign…

And now it can even make private (and public!) dynamic websites that have access to data from your database, while exposing only the data you want exposed.

I'm really liking it, I created a page to show my favorite restaurants per city, for example:

https://stavrobot.home.stavros.io/pages/restaurants

That's dynamic, loading from the database, and updating live when the assistant creates new entries.

This page was created just by telling the assistant "make me a page to show my favorite restaurants, with their ratings, groupped by city".

I wish someone would take all the Fitness sensors of the Apple Watch, and put it in something with a simple e-ink display like these Pebble devices. I don’t care about apps, I just want a thing that measures my heart rate, notifies me if I get a call or text, has more than a couple days of battery life, and that’s it.

Withings scanwatch 2?

I have an older generation Withings scale that is so bad that I just would never buy another thing from them.

Eats batteries, loses WiFi, changes scale settings on its own every few days… no way I would trust them with a watch if they couldn’t handle a scale.

> Many old Pebble apps/faces use weather APIs that no longer work (Yahoo, OpenWeather). The Pebble mobile app now catches these network requests and returns data from Open-Meteo - keeping old watchfaces working! That's some sweet quality of life fixes!

And we are very determined to keep the Open-Meteo weather API open-access indefinitely and don’t share the same fate as many closed-source APIs like Yahoo or OpenWeatherMap.

I use your service every day. Thank you so much

Fascinating, thanks for responding. If k may ask, what is your monthly (or any other interval) token usage? And are you finding a pi to be a bottleneck in regards of any performance?

My Garmin Instinct 2 does all of the above. I charge it every 2 or 3 weeks. Sounds like that would meet your needs.

I’ve got the solar version. It runs a long time between charges. Maybe I haven’t done enough tracked exercise recently

Any specs about Pebble 2 battery capacity ?

Their site lists a time in days, but not the actual battery specs that I can see. 30 days for the Time 2 will be pretty impressive if they can pull it off, though.

Thank you for checking :) I was unable to find any details about it. 30 days are impressive, so I was curious if there is some special battery in Time 2.

I believe you can see that stuff on the Pebble app but you can't sync with Apple health. See this previous pebble blog post: https://ericmigi.com/blog/apple-restricts-pebble-from-being-...

The Pebble 2 could write data to Apple Health ten years ago. It would be surprising to have that missing now.

Not so surprising. In the interim, Apple watch became a thing, and Apple has since locked down the ability for third-party smart-watches to do things in the iOS ecosystem.

Sorry to see the timing slip once again, now from March to April. I get that hardware manufacturing involves uncertainty and risk, but they've been off launching new products instead of getting these out the door. The delay from December to April is pretty sizable, and it makes me take all of their current estimates with a huge grain of salt. After all, they might decide to launch a necklace between now and then!

I don't know and can't speak for the team, but I suspect the "launching new products" is not a significant factor in the delays. It sounds to me like the delays are as a result of hardware manufacturing things (which maybe could/should have been planned for, but optimistically weren't), and that basically the alternative for the hardware folks would be a series of "sit on your hands for a couple weeks, then respond to the thing that came up" events, with the resulting delay for the PT2 being roughly equivalent whether they spend the intervening time designing new products or just waiting.
