I am getting pretty frustrated with the unreliability of the companion. It basically is stopping me from developing (and using) clock faces and app.
Please find below my companion code. My app/watch faces simply read the file. Messaging was limited in buffer and same issue with it being unreliable.
I wake the companion every 30 minutes. I also ask to run the geolocation every 30 minutes.
Nothing works. File is only updated if I am connected to the studio and running the app from there. If I don't connect, I won't get updated data. Package.json permissions are in place (Connect to the internet, run in background, use geolocation).
Please advise.
import { outbox } from "file-transfer";
import { encode } from 'cbor';
import { geolocation } from "geolocation";
import { me } from "companion"
function geoLoc(){
geolocation.getCurrentPosition(locationSuccess, locationError);
};
function locationSuccess(position) {
var API_KEY = MY API KEY HERE HIDDEN FOR PRIVACY;
var myLat = position.coords.latitude;
var myLon = position.coords.longitude;
var ENDPOINT = "https://www.worldtides.info/api?datum=LAT&extremes&lat=" + myLat + "&lon=" + myLon +"&key=" + API_KEY;
getTide(ENDPOINT);
}
function locationError(error) {
console.log("Error: " + error.code,
"Message: " + error.message);
}
function getTide(ENDPOINT) {
// console.log(ENDPOINT)
fetch(ENDPOINT)
.then(function (response) {
response.json()
.then(function(data) {
// console.log(JSON.stringify(data));
sendFile(data);
});
})
.catch(function (err) {
console.log("Error fetching tide: " + err);
});
}
function sendFile(data) {
// console.log("Sending file...");
const myFileInfo = encode(data);
outbox.enqueue("tide.txt", myFileInfo)
}
geoLoc();
// Helper
const MILLISECONDS_PER_MINUTE = 1000 * 60
// Wake the Companion after 30 minutes
me.wakeInterval = 30 * MILLISECONDS_PER_MINUTE
if (me.launchReasons.wokenUp) {
// The companion started due to a periodic timer
geoLoc();
console.log("Started due to wake interval!")
} else {
// Close the companion and wait to be awoken
me.yield()
}
//Run geolocation and tide data every 30 minutes
setInterval(geoLoc(), 30 * 1000 * 60);
