[Ovmsdev] App for Garmin Watches

Yes. For the moment the user+password is really the only way to access the server. Longer-term we will switch to token.

At first, the certificate was apparently the problem but then you fixed it and I was still receiving error codes. Another advantage is that I will be able to strip the content to optimize loading time on the watch.

Once in the store, user will be able to enter vehicle_id, username and password/token to access own car information. Application uses a proxy on AWS Lambda to access the REST Api.
