Yes, I'll go ahead and try to type instructions on how I did it and post it. II'll try to get it done later today.
Here is my tutorial for finding phone with Fitbit Ionic & Versa. Since you have to use two buttons I will have tutorials for each. Not sure if images will show up here but I think instructions are clear and easy to follow.
"Unsilencing phone with Fitbit ionic& Versa"
1. Install (Switchr) into watch through
Fitbit apps inn your phone.
2. Install (IFTTT) on your phone from
your phone's app store and create an
account.
3. On you phone, go into (IFTTT) and click
on the (+) on the top right to create your
applet.
4. Now you will see "if +this then that".
click on the +this.
5. On the next screen click in the search
services and type in (Webhooks)
6. Type in (Webhooks). Webhooks will
appear with triangular logo and you
click into it.
7. The next screen will show
(Receive a web request). Click it.
8. On the next screen it will ask you for an
(Event Name). Here you want to input
something like "lostphone, findphone,
callphone, etc...) Anything like these
will work. Make sure there are no
spaces or use (_) to separate words.
Make sure you remember the event
name you entered and exactly how
how you entered it. After you enter
the name, click on (create trigger).
9. After clicking (create trigger),
It will take you to a screen
"If this then +that" click on
(+that)
10. Here it will ask you to (search
services). You can search by
entering (Android device) or just scroll
down and you should see it.
11. Once you find the (Android device)
box, click it.
12. In this screen you will scroll down a
little and look for
(set ringtone volume) and click it.
13. This screen will show the volume
that you want your phone to be
turned on too if your phone is on
silent or vibrate. You can adjust
it or just leave it. You will then click
on (Create action).
14. After clicking (Create action)
It will work on creating it and
you will then get a blue screen
with your applet preview. Click
(Finish) at the bottom.
15. After you click (Finish) another
screen comes up letting you know
that your applet has been turned on.
From here, just click the back arrow
button.
16. When you click the back arrow
It will show you your completed
applet and that it's on. On the top
right is a gear icon. If you click on
It, it will show you your settings for
the applet you just created. Click
the back arrow here as well.
17. After clicking the back arrow it takes
you to (My Applets) screen. In here
do a search again for (Webhooks).
18. Click Webhooks icon
19. When you get to this screen, click
on the gear icon that's on the top
right.20. It opens up a webpage to your
Webhooks settings. The important
thing to look at here is the URL:
which is in blue. You need to click
on it.
Do Not click on (Edit connection) you
only click on that if your having
connection issues and it will give you
a new key.
21. Once you click on the URL from
the previous page, you will get this
screen. The top shows you're key
but what you really need to look at
is underneath where it says
(To trigger an Event)
(Make a Post or Get web request to)
Where it shows {event}, you will click
inside and enter the event name you
originally created. In my example
through this tutorial was (findphone).
22. After you enter the event name,
scroll down and copy the entre
https: which will include your
event name and key.
23. Once you have copied the entire
https:, go to your Fitbit app on your
phone and look for your (Switchr)
app that you had previously installed.
Click the gear icon on the right to
enter settings.24. In settings you have four buttons that
You can use in your Ionic or Versa
watch. Pick whichever you want
and click on it. This will open up
Some settings and options.25. Under URL, past the URL that you had
copied earlier from Webhooks.
Under button name you can enter
whatever you'd like so you know
what that button is for. It will appear
on your watch in Switchr. As for the
button color, that's up to you as well.
Give it a few moments and check
your watch. The button you just
created should appear. With your
phone on vibrate or silent give the
button on your watch a try. Give it
a few seconds to activate and you
should hear a beep sound which
means your phones volume has been
turned on.
This tutorial was to get your Fitbit watch and Switchr app to unsilence your phone. You will follow the same steps to get your watch to call your phone after the ringer has been turned on.
