I am just doing some final testing of V2.0 of OpenSeizureDetector, with a view to releasing it at the weekend, which will be exactly a year since I published the original version.
The things that have changed for V2.0 are:
- Manually raise an alarm by pressing and holding the DOWN watch button.
- Mute the alarms (for a selectable period) by pressing and holding the UP watch button.
- Major internal re-write of the android companion app, so it can use different data sources – this means it is ready for when Embrace ship their seizure detector watches – I will be able to make it compatible with the OpenSeizureDetector phone app.
- The Android app acts as both the server (which talks to the watch) and also the client (which talks to the server to give remote alarm annunciation) – no need for a separate client app any more.
- Pretty bar graphs showing how close you are to an alarm state.
- Tidier settings screens.
- Start-up screen to show the system initialising.
- User selectable data transfer period – you can reduce the amount of data sent from the watch to the phone – this is the most disappointing feature because it does not give the saving in battery power that I had hoped for.
