Bug? with watch notifications

both1871

I've been experiencing a weird issue, which I'm not sure how to troubleshoot. I have a Pixel 8 running the most recent version of Graphene (not sure how to check, but I have auto-update turned on). I also use a Withings watch, specifically a Steel HR. I have the watch set up to receive notifications from some apps, like messages, Signal, and phone. During the day, this works great.

At night, I use the Graphene Bedtime Mode which turns on and off automatically. I have the mode configured to allow interruptions from my starred contacts. I do not have the "allow repeat callers" checked.

I regularly get a call at 5 am from a contact that is not starred. When this call comes in, my phone itself does not vibrate but the Withings watch does. I can't figure out if this is Graphene letting a notification through when it should not, or the watch grabbing something it shouldn't. Ideas?

Hello! Thats annoying, sorry.

It appears this has been a desired feature for 7 years. The most recent complaint is 3 years ago.

I couldn't find anything in their tutorials concerning this. Double check for a scheduled DND function or snoozing notifications in the withings app or on the watch.

Maybe you can use an app like tasker or automation to turn off bluetooth at night which might lose sleep data if it doesnt save it for the next connection.

I suspect the watch monitors your notifications even if they are suppressed and it has no idea that your phone is in DND mode.

I've heard of an app called gadget bridge for watches, maybe this'll contain the solution? (If you try it, you can disable your current watch app(s) to avoid conflicts and simply enable them again to easily go back to your original set up)

If all else fails, I'd contact withings support and weigh your options, maybe another watch if possible.
Keep in mind some watches will have deeper integration with the OS for DND/sleep and some watches might not be very compatible with GOS.

I've never used a watch so I don't have further anecdotal advice.

Johnnyloans I've had the watch for maybe five years, across several phones (all Android, but this is my first time running Graphene). It never buzzed during my phone's do not disturb with calls (or texts, or anything) with previous phones. It doesn't buzz from text messages during DND on Graphene, just this one singular phone call that I get regularly.

Unfortunately the world of smart gadgets and IoT is brutal with device support and required cloud functionality disappearing abruptly among other amateur short comings as you've already experienced.
