ABL-100: set_time failed on GShockAPI.read_write_world_cities

[vikoadi]

So I'm trying the GShockTimeServer with my ABL-100, it fails to set the time with the following logs

2025-08-06 22:59:59,792 gshock_api.logger INFO: ('Waiting for Connection...',)

only after I commented out the line it can successfully set the time

gshock_api/src/gshock_api/gshock_api.py

Line 145 in b0778a7

await self.read_write_world_cities()

do you need the btsnoop_hci of the original Casio application? I'll fetch it later

[izivkov]

Thanks for reporting. So I am not familiar with this watch, but it looks like it does not support multiple time zones, correct? In addition to the line you mentioned, if you comment out line 144, does it still work? I will update the api's after I understand better. I'm also curious, do you run the server on a Pi or a regular Linux machine? Regards, Ivo

Hi

The watch does only have one Dual Time function
After I comment out both 144 and 145, it doesn't throw the '"ErrorIO onReceived: bytearray(b'\xff\x81\x1f')",)' error, but the time in watch doesn't get set either.
I do use a regular fedora on PC with a bluetooth 4.0 usb dongle, if that making any difference

Thanks

[vikoadi]

here's the btsnoop_hcl when querying and setting world time function

btsnoop_hci set worldtime.log

my guess is that ABL-100 would send an FF811F ErrorCode when it received 1F0{} WorldCitiesIO code

[izivkov]

Thank you. I think I understand what needs to be done. I'll update the API and the server in a day or so. Regards

I have updated the API and also the repository https://github.com/izivkov/GShockTimeServer. Please do: "git pull" to get the latest code. After that, update your project: "pip install -r requirements.txt", which will get the latest API, and restart the server. Let me know if it works with your ABL-100WE watch. Regards Ivo

Hi,
so ive tested the latest code and ive found it all works correctly now. the home time and dualtime all got set correctly, thanks

in the terminal I still found an exception, but I can't pinpoint which part is throwing it up

2025-08-08 09:22:33,871 gshock_api.logger INFO: ('Waiting for Connection...',)

2025-08-08 09:22:43,447 gshock_api.logger INFO: ('Waiting for Connection...',)

Thanks for fixing it up

[vikoadi]

I just read the watch_info.py
is hasAutoLight a feature that the backlight will automatically flash when the watch detect a hand gesture?
is hasReminder a different feature to the hourly chime/signal?
cause ABL-100 doesn't have any of those and should be set to false
thanks

[izivkov]

OK, great. I think the error comes from the watch disconnecting after a short time, if you are using the lower-right button. The app just gets an exception, but this is normar. I will eventually update the GShockSmartSync Android app as well to add support for this watch. Regards

[vikoadi]

alright
just to clear up my previous post
the watch does have hourly chime/signal feature, but it doesn't have reminder function that I'm aware of
thanks

[izivkov]

Oh, ok. I was reading the specs, and it said it had a calendar, I misunderstood it to mean reminders. I'll remove the reminders from the Android app for this watch. I assume the settings and actions work ok. Ivo

Just one more clarification: Yes auto light will turn the light on if you tilt your wrist. Does this watch has this?

[vikoadi]

I assume the settings and actions work ok.

with the fdroid G-Schock Smart Sync apk release, the Home Time tile still show up as empty, I don't know how it supposed to set the Dual Time function from the Smart Sync app.
all alarm and settings function work except for the Time Adjustment toggle. I think it's similar to
izivkov/CasioGShockSmartSync#114

Just one more clarification: Yes auto light will turn the light on if you

No, it doesn't have the function

[izivkov]

Ok, the app does not really support the dual time function. It just uses your current location to set the time, but you cannot switch with another time from the app. The UI is too complicated and many people get confused, so did not implement it. Temperature and battery work?

Temperature and battery work?

show up as N/A in the Smart Sync
it doesn't have that either in the orignal app

[izivkov]

Ok, great, thanks for your help. I was planning to release a new version of the Android app in the next little while with some minor bug fixes. Ivo
