Andrej2 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 I have 7 favorite activities, which work fine on iPhone and C4 remote. All of them but one also appear on Apple Watch. Why does one not appear on Apple Watch? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 mstafford388 Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 What version C4 are you on? I don't even think apple watch is supported at all anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 Andrej2 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 Well, my Composer HE is indeed 3.3.0 as you say, but the director version reported in the iPhone app, which I installed today, is 3.2.1.593279, as stated above (please see the two snapshots). I cannot get a more recent Composer HE nor iPhone app (and thus presumably Apple Watch app). Now I am thinking that the iPhone app is reporting the version installed on my EA-3 controller, so I should probably check and upgrade that. But I don't know how to do that. Any suggestions? Or something else? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 msgreenf Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 A dealer must upgrade you. Happy to help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Andrej2 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 thanks - that's what i guessed, based on various pages on the C4 user home page. so i already asked my dealer to help. i can't resist whining a little: i really don't like it that C4 does not let me upgrade my own system, regardless of the risks associated with an inexperienced user messing with the system (they already allow some of that anyway). it seems inappropriate not to let customers fiddle with their stuff if they really want to do it.

0 RAV Posted September 24, 2022 Share Posted September 24, 2022 Which one does not appear? They need to be a do it item: light, on/off experience toggle button, music preset, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Andrej2 Posted September 24, 2022 Author Share Posted September 24, 2022 first, my dealer did update the OS on the EA-3 to the latest director version now, 3.3.0. but the missing favorite activity is still missing on the Apple Watch. the activity takes me to a listening menu that controls an audio DAC; it was favorited from the Listening menu. this favorite activity works fine on the iPhone. as a counterexample, a similar activity from the Watching menu takes me to an Apple TV control and works just fine on both the iPhone and Apple Watch.

0 bnorman Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 @Andrej2 The only favorites that will appear on the Apple Watch are ones that have a simple action (toggle, start audio/video). If the favorite on the phone only further navigates into a sub-menu, it won't appear on the watch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Andrej2 Posted September 26, 2022 Author Share Posted September 26, 2022 yes, this explains it! maybe i will find a workaround, perhaps requiring one more click to get to do what i need to do on the watch thank you for clarifying! that said, perhaps all favorites should appear on the watch in the future?

0 bnorman Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 The current implementation of the watch app was intended to be for quick actions (as most people don't spend much time in a watch app). A possible workaround, depending on what you are trying to accomplish, would be to create a UI button or custom button, then add programming behind the button.

0 RAV Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 If you want a list of actionable items on the watch, you can make an old school corner 'custom button' list. In OS3 that will show as a round button on the user interface, which you then favorite, and when selected in the Watch app, it will open and allow you to select from the 6 items.
