SuuntoPlus sports app suggestions

[TonyG]

@DMytro Yeah, Concept have a SDK available which probably has its own API imbedded.

I think the community could if there is a desire with the right folks; lots of examples of community minded developers; just look at what @Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos has created for the community with his fantastic software - the ability / capability is I believe definitely out there just takes the right person who’s invested enough to do it.

@TonyG I heard that it does support BLE, but have no time to investigate this further at the moment, nor I do have a Concept2 to test if it works. But people at Suunto may.

[TonyG]

@isazi thank you for looking
it def supports BLE HR Monitors but beyond that I am not sure, they do supply some good documentation if anyone from Suunto do fancy having a go at making a connection, I am sure its doable, as I mentioned earlier Coros watches connect and it works great,
may be a good selling point for Suunto.
Thank you for having a look at it, much appreciated

A question for cyclists and ultra runners - adding an eating (energy) alert every 45 and 30 minutes

[Brad_Olwin]

@Danny-poleg you could use the drink alert for this.

@Danny-poleg

I am trying to create a Suunto Plus that has a real time summary of food and drink consumption. Then a simple alarm or vibration to warn to drink and eat when you spend a recommended percentage or something similar.

[Danny poleg]

@Brad_Olwin Drink alert is 10, 15, 20 minutes when we only need nutrition alert every 45 minutes or 30 minutes

[Brad_Olwin]

@Danny-poleg personally I can’t use a timer for eating when running ultras. I stock up at aid and take enough to sustain me until the next aid. Works well. A timer would drive me nuts.

My suggestion or improvement:

Indoor rowing -> add SuuntoPlus app that supports concept2 rowing machine, to get real data from row erg-> power/stroke rate/hr/distance/speed
(hr because you can pair your hr strap directly to c2 rowerg, so you can get that data then after row erg is paired to your watch via bluetooth)

The gym app counts sets and rest time but non of these info is found I the Suunto app?. Is it possible to ad? It would also be nice if you could somewhere ad what kind of sets you trained and set the weight. So that you can track progress over time.

Yes, we all need thisor to create custom sports app or just as I asked, put this parameters in knots to list at custom sports mode, so we can use it as we like in our sports mode, so far we only have nautical speed and nautical distance, no nautical max, 2sec max, 10sec, 100m, 500m, 185m, alpha jibe and avg5/10

[Warrior]

This parameters in knots on the list in custom sports mode under speed or better create nautical speed group there
Also include AVG5/10 (average of 5 best 10sec runs)
