Samsung / Google smartwatch app for Lucid Motors' vehicles

thanks for all the work going into this app. Really goes to show how little the barrier to entry is to make projects that can improve your daily workflows. This is the app I wanted, but didn't know I needed.

I use it even more than I expected. It's far more convenient than the phone, and faster now too in the next release.

Same, I used it today for real twice and was shocked at the convenience factor at home where I have mobile key disabled due to the phone being so close to the garage due to proximity of home office. The speed at which the watch app responds and shows status compared to the lucid app makes me wonder what the lucid app is doing differently that it's not seeing the car is ready. They must have conservative ping times, that's all I can think of. Excited to see this get released!

Part of it I suspect is that the Lucid app doesn't let you actually choose or start any actions until the car wakes up and the app sees that it's awake.

While testing my Garmin equivalent of this WearOS app, using the new faster polling endpoint, with the car asleep, I told my watch to unlock the car, and it had woken up the car and the doors unlocked before the watch even got the acknowledgement that the car was awake. It was 8s from the confirmation tap on the watch to the doors on a sleeping car unlocking.

I'n the official app, I'd have been still waiting for the app ti see the car awake before I could even tell the app I wanted to unlock the car!
 
I'll try to get that last (final?) release out early next week. I need to wait for my AI credits to renew so that I'm smart enough again.

I hear you, but It's not that....the mods I wrote for the WatchOS app actually wait until the car shows as awake, too, polling every second, then it unlocks the UI, allowing you to lock/unlock, etc.

It's taking about the sort of time you're talking about from a sleep state (depending on when the car pings the cloud, presumably). I can die of old age waiting for the full app to show the car as awake sometimes, even when I hear the car energize, see the orange light flash, and the locks become active. I then press the door handle, unlock the car, get in....look at the app and it's still Waiting for Car to Wakeup.

Thankfully this is less of an issue out of the house with mobile key enabled (it gets disabled at home all the time because the phone is in such close proximity to the car).
 
This thread makes me so happy, and I own zero wearos / garmin devices.

I've 'released' v0.2.0 of the garmin watch app. Gave the watch app some actual icons and more information. The phone app now grabs the car's status every 5 minutes and pushes the data to the watch. Though to be clear, if the car is asleep, it does NOT wake the car - and whatever information it grabs from Lucid is based on the last time the car uploaded data to lucid.
It also lets you set the climate on/off and choose the target temperature

The main screen also shows the inside/outside temperature reported by the car.

Regular status updates and a temperature line (#7). Still alpha: it works end to end on one setup (a Pixel 10 Pro, a Garmin Venu 3 and one Lucid). What's new Stays current. About every 5 minutes, ...
