This is great to see this effort to update this for new weather APIs! I especially like the idea of using the NWS API in US locations.
How exactly are you personally using the remote sync of the battery feature? I think it’s interesting but I’d be curious if you have a use case for why you built it.

Nicely done! Very solid upgrade.

I wanted a way to get the charge state and % into Home Assistant so I could track battery life as well as create automations such as notification for when I need to charge my watch. This was really helpful for my older Pebble Time that only lasted a couple days and now with my new Core 2 Duo I want to see how long it lasts on a single charge.
I currently have it post to Node-RED which then creates the entities in Home Assistant. Here is the flow I use:

It looks like this:
This all started as a GitHub issue on my other Home Assistant WS app: Syncing health/battery data to Home Assistant · Issue #4 · skylord123/pebble-home-assistant-ws · GitHub
Was looking into ways to get health & battery data into HA and figured a watch face was the best approach with the current limitations. Haven’t added health data yet as I am just playing around with battery as a proof-of-concept.

Update alert!
Skylar Sadlier just released version 6.1 of ForeCal Reloaded (Weather Forecast & Calendar)!
Release notes
New watch support
- Pebble Time 2, Pebble 2 Duo and Pebble Round 2 are now supported natively. The watchface draws at each watch’s real resolution, so you no longer need to turn on display upscaling on a Pebble Time 2. Weather icons and the battery and bluetooth indicators were redrawn for the larger screens, and the clock is sized to match. Nothing changes on the existing watches.
Fixes
- Settings could be wiped and reset to defaults if the phone stopped the app partway through saving. Settings are now written with a backup copy, and a damaged config is recovered from that backup instead of starting over.
- Fixed a crash when opening the watchface caused by corrupted saved data.
- Fixed day/night mode getting stuck in the wrong mode after a missed sunrise or sunset.
- Fixed the forecast going stale for hours after quiet time ended.
- Fixed searching for a location by name failing.
