Apple watch complication

Mobile Apps Home Assistant Companion for Apple
1

Hi,
I try to configure a Apple watch complication to see a sensor value in the “Infographic Modular” watch face.
I have configured the Home Assistant IOS App, in the Apple watch section, in this mode:

and, as you can see from the image, the test returns the correct sensor value.
Now, I expect that the complication of apple watch displays the sensor value, but only the Home Assistant icon will appear…

Can anyone help me understand where I’m wrong?
Thank you.

Same here, if you ask me the complications are broken.

I found an app called Complicated today. You can use WebHooks to send data from HA to your watch. Allowed ~ 15 updates per hour, free unless you want to use a gauge.
Super easy to set up, though the data sent does need to URL encoded.

Example for the corner one

configuration:
 complication_security: 'curl https://customcomplication.mikelyons.org/complicated/set/MYKEY/graphicCorner?value={{states.sensor.complication_security.state}}'

sensor:
  - platform: template
    sensors:
      complication_security:
        entity_id: 
          - alarm_control_panel.security
        value_template: >
          {% set sec = states('alarm_control_panel.security') %}
          {% if sec == 'triggered' %}
           HA%0AAlarm%21%21%21%21
          {% elif sec == 'armed_away' %}
           HA%0AArmed%20Away
          {% elif sec == 'armed_night' %}
           HA%0AArmed%20Night
          {% elif sec == 'armed_home' %}
           HA%0AArmed%20Home
          {% else %}
           HA%0ADisarmed
          {% endif %}

automation:
- alias: Update Complication Security
  initial_state: 'on'
  trigger:
    - platform: state
      entity_id: sensor.complication_security
  action:
    - service: shell_command.complication_security

Hello.

I created two sensor to the middle of the modular watch. If I save it and wait a few seconds it shows the state of my sensors but after 1 second it changes to the command: {{ (states… ) }}. What should I do?

I’m having the problem as the initiator of this thread. Only Home Assistant icon showing in my watch face.

What am I doing wrong?

You are using wrong WatchFace, or your Series of Watch does not work with that, I had same thing and tried another type and working well.

I got it working.
Problem was that the gauge value was not between 0 and 1.

Hi there,
I’m having trouble adding a complication to my Apple Watch 6.
I get the correct Preview Output, but when I try to sync across on to my Apple Watch App, the Complication does not appear. It says Home Assistant ‘Placeholder’.
The complication was a Circular Small to display my pool temperature.
Any ideas ?

@Alx1772 did you manage to get it working? I suffer the same as you

10

Something new here? I have the same issue :confused:

11

I’m having the same issue, only the HA logo appears on the watch face.
I followed this: https://github.com/visualapproach/WiFi-remote-for-Bestway-Lay-Z-SPA/discussions/52#discussioncomment-324906

Things I have tried:
Different types of watch face, infograph modular, infograph, chronograph.
Different locations of the complication, all corners, in the middle, etc
WatchOS 7.6.2
Circular small, ring text template.

Can anyone assist or offer anything else I can try?

Hello

Same problem for me.

Can you help us ?

thanks

If the only available complication on your watch face is the ‘Placeholder’ one, it’s a good sign that you’re creating a complication for a different watch face than the one you’re looking at. Pay close attention to the text near the complication you’re configuring/viewing for which faces it’ll be presented on.

If this doesn’t help, please list:

  1. The type of complication you are editing
  2. The watch face you’re configuring it on
  3. A screenshot of the configuration options in the complication you are editing

For example, “Circular small” above is for the Color watchface. It will not work in Infograph as those require items in the “Graphic” section.
