Release of V4.2 of OpenSeizureDetector

Version 4.2 of the OpenSeizureDetector Android App is now available on Google Play Store. The main changes introduced in this version are:

  • Introduces support for V2.0 and higher of the Garmin Watch App, which has reduced battery consumption, thanks to the work of Pierre Bonneau.
  • Introduces support for lower cost PineTime and BangleJS watches as an alternative to Garmin.
  • Fixed problem with notifications in Android 13
  • Made the main screen swipeable to display different information, such as watch signal strength and battery history graphs (some of this information is only available for PineTime watches). Thanks to Bram Regtien for his contributions.

Thanks too to all of the users who have been acting as Beta testers for this app over the last few months and reporting the issues they have encountered with it.

I have been testing this version for a few months and last week we switched our ‘production’ installation across to using V4.2.8 of the Android app with a PineTime watch for the data source.

I will do some updates to the main Web site over the next few days to reflect PineTime support I’m addition to Garmin.

If you have any problems, please raise an issue on our bug tracker or email graham@openseizuredetector.org.uk. If you have a major issue and need to downgrade to the earlier version, it can be found on the source code repository.

Thanks!
