Suggestion - Adding Widgets

Product Discussion BLUETTI APP
1

Hi There,

Have you considered making use of the iphones widgets feature for your app? this would allow us to see how much charge and other info without actually requiring us to go into the app quick and easily. Much like one of your main competitors…

Ive attached a screenshot (of your competitor) to help explain.

Cheers
Jono

Pretty cool idea, but since it always need to sync the data, this could be pretty heavy on battery

@Jono I have submitted the request to develop widgets to them, but the team is currently focusing on improving and optimizing the functions and layout (content) within the app, so it is unlikely that they will develop widgets in the short term.

Thanks Admin, a follow on from this is with the new IOS26 that’s coming out, Apple has now added widgets to the CarPlay screen.

Effectively, if you’re using DC to charge, you could make the widget to show how much power is going in or how long to charge etc.

See that “Chrome Dino” there, you could use that spot to see how much charge you have as you’re driving!

Would just be a cool feature in my opinion.

@BLUETTI Hello! Half a year has passed, and the app interface has already been updated. Could you please raise this question again?

I need widget for Android, not iOS.

  • What It should display, in order of importance:
  1. Current SOC
  2. What is ON (AC/DC)
  3. Whether Grid is available
  4. Small icon showng charging/discharging
    Current discharge in W doesn’t make sense, because it has to be updated in runtime, which is a negative both for the station and the Phone.
    Current charge from grid might be useful, as it is usually consistent during long time intervals.
  • Clicking on widget should lead to station screen in the app.
    Widget also should have 2 small buttons (usually, at right corners of the widget):
  1. Widget settings
  2. Force update
  • Settings should include:
  1. Device selection (if user has several linked in app)
  2. Data update time delay (at least the following intervals in minutes: 1/5/15/30/60)
  • Widget size that includes all this still can be 1x1, but good idea is to make 2 sizes: 1x1 (probably, with less info) and 4x1, that can also include AC/DC switch buttons.

Thank you.
