Great work!
Here are some some requests for extensions.
would you create some intents to send wear batt level and wear batt temp to tasker, please?
Or, far better would be, if you create a plugin for tasker
configurable unit in batt temp. would like to have it °C

Thanks for the suggestion! I will see what I can do to create a plugin for tasker.
Configuring battery temperature unit is being added in the next beta. I'm trying to get the next beta out by the end of this weekend.

thank you.
but another question: what is the update-interval of the temperature in the widget? I did not see an update there.

I have a job that runs every 15 minuets to check battery status that updates the widgets. Also in the appwidget-provider settings file updatePeriodMillis is set to 300000.

perfect! thank you for this app.
widgets display correctly,
temperature unit to °C work perfect,
warning if batt gets hot
now I only need to transfer the battery data to tasker. Would like to have it at 5min interval while charging.
I realized this by using watchmaker and tasker. But this is not working with watchmaker because it stop all activities during charging.

maybe you have the wrong temperature_widget there.
in the widget I can see the temperature of the phonebatt and not the watchbatt.

Yeah that battery temperature widget is only for the phone battery. I have not yet added a widget for watch battery temperature.

for your info I will show you, what happened today during charging my watch with a cheap 3rd-party charger:
------------------
14.01 31°C
14.11 31°C
14.21 31°C
14.31 32°C
here I start charging
14.40 33.7°C
14.42 35.3°C
14.44 36.9°C
14.46 38.3°C
14.48 39.2°C
14.50 39.5°C
14.52 39.9°C
14.54 40.3°C
14.56 40.6°C
at 14.57 I got a notification:
Watch Battery too hot!
current battery temperature is 41,9°C
then the watch go into flight-mode for cooling.
edited time of notification
---------------------
you see, check the temp in an interval of 15min during charging is far too long.

if you want, I can help you to translate the app into german language. (if you are in a prerelease state)

---

are you familiar with tasker?
I will explain, how I would like to receive the watch-batt-data.
from tasker I send an intent to broadcast_receiver. action:com.h3r3t1c.phonebatteryinfoonwear.reciever.xxx
data:info
your app receive the intent and ask the watch for batt-info.
after your app send an intent to broadcast_receiver.
action:start_task_watch_batt_info
data:{charging state}!?!{percentage}!?!{temperature}!?!{voltage}!?!{health}
in tasker I receive the intent, split the data and start the further process.
will be great, if that would be possible

Also forgot to mention. The new BETA_4 I just uploaded will let you set the update period for your watch so the battery too hot notification can be more accurate.

---

yes, I saw it. it's installed now and work.
thank you.
in the meantime I created a taskertask to read the temperature from your app.
every 2min the task open your app, read the temp, close the app, write a timestamp and the temp in a file. but this I do during charging the watch in the night, because I can't work on my phone if this task is running. (¬‿¬)
