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.
@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.
@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:
Current SOC
What is ON (AC/DC)
Whether Grid is available
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):
Widget settings
Force update
Settings should include:
Device selection (if user has several linked in app)
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.
