Implementing Continuous Background Heart-Rate Upload from Bip 6 to a Local Server

[brenopenalmeida]

I’m developing an application for the Bip 6, but I’m having trouble figuring out how to send heart-rate data to a local server via a URL so that the data is sent periodically and continuously in the background. Could someone please help me?

Maybe this will help you

Thank you for the tip, but it didn’t work. I’ll create another discussion thread with my script and show it to you. It’s showing the option to allow background execution; in the Bip 6 settings it shows that the app has permission, but in the battery settings it indicates that no apps are running in the background.

Yeah, I saw that discussion thread. But the thing is that in the battery settings it always says that there are no background processes, even if they work fine. Of course it is possible that Bip 6 has its own peculiarities in running background apps, but I doubt it. You can check this on already ready and tested apps. I have an application ‘Weather service’ which receives data from the Internet in the background and an application ‘Battery graph’ which writes statistics to a file in the background.

Thank you for the tip! Indeed, the Bip 6 doesn’t show that it’s running—I tested with the example sent by silver-zepp and my application worked perfectly. Thanks again for the suggestion!

By the way, the applications I have listed do not run constantly in the background. They are run in the background at the required interval using “@zos/alarm” and do not require permission to run in the background.

I also have a ‘Bluetooth Alert’ app that runs in the background all the time and requires permission to do so, but it still doesn't show up in the battery settings.

I was able to send the data perfectly through the UI, and when I used the alarm to launch the UI and then send the data while the UI was open, I ran into problems. But using the alarm is a good strategy indeed—I ended up prioritizing continuous background operation! Your app is very interesting! Thanks for the tip!
