Ratings and reviews

Minor annoyances, but overall works well and has low battery drain. Vibration of watch (Venu 2S) during alarm doesn't ever work for me, but fortunately my phone's vibration is loud enough to wake me although less gently. Whenever alarms go off when I wasn't sleep-tracking (my pill reminders etc), it tries to connect to my watch and keeps trying every time I tap the notification to "stop" it, until I've gotten about 5 notifications. Overall way better than using the Connect app though.

This has been working very well for me and is a lot more reliable than the default option as it actually works throughout the night. Sometimes it takes 2 or 3 attempts to connect to my forerunner 935 but looking at the logs it seems to be an issue with the Garmin SDK failing on Bluetooth connect for an unknown reason, not this developer's fault.

Absolutely Fantastic ! I don't know why this isn't the default add-on for Garmin in Sleep as Android because it uses way less battery (~5-10% extra overnight in my tests), reported more data (official add-on did not gather SPO2 data) and does not make my watch unusable overnight by locking the screen. Cherry on the top would be if it could report respiration rate for compatible watches but understand that may not be possible with current APIs. Overall, just brilliant!

What's new

- fix vivosmart 5 pairing issue
- optimize garmin device battery drain (95% per night for spo2 + hr + movement enabled, 97% for hr + movement enabled, 99% for movement only enabled)
