Read the <a href=\"https:\/\/willow.systems\/integrate-pebble-with-ifttt-once-again\/\">inital release article<\/a> for more information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>What&#8217;s new?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The V2 release introduces a handful of new features:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>The ability to create a timeline pin 3 hours in the future (helpful for those not subscribed to rebble web services)<\/li><li>The option to create a timeline pin at the next occurrence a set time<\/li><li>Previews for the timeline icons<\/li><li>The option to display a notification (with vibration) on your watch when the pin is received<\/li><li>The option to display a reminder (with vibration) on the watch when the pin becomes active<\/li><li>A debugging tool which shows you the requests and responses PinProxy has received for your timeline token<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2>Moar detail!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Okay okay, in more detail:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>New time choices<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>You can now opt to create a pin 3 hours after PinProxy receives the request from IFTTT, useful for ensuring it appears in your timeline future if you are not a rebble subscriber (and therefore have a 3 hour sync period).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You can also elect to have the pin created at the next occurrence of a particular time. Maybe you want a weather report with a notification just before you leave for work, or the headline news when you get home. To configure this, select &#8216;at a specific time&#8217; as the creation time option:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"289\" height=\"195\" src=\"https:\/\/willow.systems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/specific-time-1.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-433\"\/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>then enter the hour and minute in the new inputs that will appear:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"312\" height=\"112\" src=\"https:\/\/willow.systems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/specific-time-2.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-434\" srcset=\"https:\/\/willow.systems\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/specific-time-2.png 312w, https:\/\/willow.systems\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/specific-time-2-300x108.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 312px) 100vw, 312px\" \/><figcaption>This pin would be created at 9am<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p> It&#8217;s important to note that the timezone of your browser will be accounted for, so make sure this matches your phone (it probably does).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Now when IFTTT triggers, the timeline pin will be created at the next occurrence of that time. Bear in mind that may be the next day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Icon Previews!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Now you can see what the timeline icon looks like from the configuration tool:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"271\" height=\"104\" src=\"https:\/\/willow.systems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/specific-time-3.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-437\"\/><figcaption>I see this one a lot in the UK&#8230;<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>Notifications!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>This was requested feature, and with good reason! For pebble devices without timeline peek, it was easy to miss the pins. Now you can choose to receive a notification at the point where your pebble receives the pin, when the pin becomes &#8216;active&#8217;, or both! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"374\" height=\"77\" src=\"https:\/\/willow.systems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/specific-time-4.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-438\" srcset=\"https:\/\/willow.systems\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/specific-time-4.png 374w, https:\/\/willow.systems\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/specific-time-4-300x62.png 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 374px) 100vw, 374px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Currently the notification icon, title, and body will match that of the pin itself, though this may change in a future update.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3> Debugging!<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The two issues that appear the most in the logs are a user mis-copying the JSON into IFTTT, and users getting their timeline token wrong. Whilst ensuring users don&#8217;t make mistakes is hard (read: impossible), you can assist them. There&#8217;s now a debug tool available, where you can pop your timeline token in, and see a history of requests from PinProxy to Rebble Web Services. This can help diagnose issues. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"251\" src=\"https:\/\/willow.systems\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/debug-1024x251.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-448\" srcset=\"https:\/\/willow.systems\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/debug-1024x251.png 1024w, https:\/\/willow.systems\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/debug-300x74.png 300w, https:\/\/willow.systems\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/debug-768x188.png 768w, https:\/\/willow.systems\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/debug-1070x262.png 1070w, https:\/\/willow.systems\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/10\/debug.png 1367w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption>Timeline token in, request history out!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2>V3<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Version 3 will come next (duh), probably in a couple of months after some other projects are released (mostly pebble stuff).
