Pebble-tool and the new Core Devices app

Watchapp Development

I’m using my fork GitHub - clach04/pebble-tool: The pebble tool that goes with libpebble2 which works for me under Windows with Python 3. I’m sure there are others out there, but I know this works, hence using it.

I had trouble connecting to the Core Devices app, even with LAN developer toggled on (under Settings), until I signed into GitHub and enabled the “Dev Connection” on the device page.

Once that was done, screenshots (etc.) worked fine without getting:

[WinError 10061] No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

I’m guessing this is expected?

Yeah, the UI for this is confusing. You need to both enable “dev connection” on the device page and enable the LAN mode in settings. I also burned about an hour digging through source after turning on LAN mode in settings but not the per-device enable, wondering why I couldn’t connect…

That makes me feel better, that we saw the same oddity (misery loves company :winking_face_with_tongue:). Thanks for confirming!
