Interested in an unofficial Apple Watch app?

[ciaranob]

Are you able to log into the My Porsche app with the same credentials?

I can see the updated reheat/condition icon on the watch after update but now when I launch the app from the phone I get this login error (I have not changed anything re my credentials I.e. same opened the app fine before) - if I try again the Porsche server will lock me out - is this an ongoing issue with latest update?

Also preheat not appearing as a complication in the watch app under electricsidecar?

There isn’t a complication for climatization yet, it can only be started from within the app on either the watch or iPhone.

Could someone repost watch app download instructions if generally available. I'd like to try it. Thx.

Awesome app!! Thank you!!! Installation was straightforward (my fears that the instructions were too sparse were unfounded -- I did have to reboot the watch). The Taycan watch app itself is already great. I made it a complication ... looks very good, performance already is fast IMO. Looking forward to how this evolves.

Hopefully Porsche will take notice, as it would be a + for them to offer this functionality. Silicon Valley -- rah, rah, rah!!

Pretty readable watch face variation - although not mad about this watch face .... however getting very used to glancing at the E_Sidecar info and will miss this if it goes away !!

Need to post on Github link as requested but noticed that the car icon when in bottom right positioning of the range/battery on the Chronograph face seemed to have 'dimmed out' - will recheck and confirm.

Dimmed-out?
I have it on bottom-right position and it’s fine.

Note that if you had a complication installed from an older release, you will have to edit your watch face, remove the complication, and add it back again. Otherwise you will be using a “zombie” complication that will no longer update. You have to do this for each watch face you have.

It’s dimmed-out only on iphone, when you configure complications, while it’s ok on watch.

Is there any WatchOS version requirement? I’m running 8.7.1 on a Watch 3 and the app does not show up on the watch. The app works fine on my phone.

watchOS 9.1

Oddly enough it looks fine today - might have been in transition to the latest updates etc. - not sure -but def recall at one pt it being nearly unrecognizable whilst the 'scale' bar was fully visible. Irrelevant now

No, realize this - I was referring to the watch itself - but already addressed above.

Loving the app

Realize I need to add this in the proper place (GitHub etc) but occurs to me that a nice customization might be if you allowed the end user to specify the ranges for the color that indicates charging state/mileage i.e. the green-yellow-red color circle 'meter'.

Personally I'd prefer green to be say > 65% and red to be <25% - I suspect others would have their separate preferences too. Could be a simple input table where you just enter the above 2 values and yellow would be values in between.

I suggest this too as at my current age (and I'm not alone here ), my eyes are beginning to require reading glasses in low light or to read general (book-watch-computer) text and whilst I can still just make out the numeric values in each watch complication (SoC and remaining range) I can most easily instantly see the associated color and provides an at a glance assessment as of course its intended to do - but current Yellow definition too broad for me to be that useful.

Cheers, C.
