#MICROSOFT BAND APP ZIP FILE#
Web Tiles are a zip file with a manifest with image files and JSON inside. There is a new runtime inside the Microsoft Health app for iOS, Windows Phone, and Android to manage Web Tiles and keep them fresh. Be sure to check out the Band team's blog posts and web site! More Technical Stuff If you want to make one, feel free to use my Blood Sugar JSON datasource: and the Web Tile Authoring Tool.

Web Tiles are glanceable tiles that are feed by JSON, XML, or ATOM datasources.

For the rest of us, you can use the online Web Tile Authoring Tool and it will generate the tile and give it to you for download. If you're slightly technical, you can create Web Tiles with just the documentation, Notepad (or the VS Code editor) and a Zip utility. You can put it on your OneDrive or blog, or even just email it to a friend.
#MICROSOFT BAND APP INSTALL#
You can make a custom Web Tile in just minutes for your Microsoft Band and install it now. Today the first preview version of Web Tiles is ready to go. You may have noticed that we gently introduced Web Tiles at the BUILD conference using my sugar data in the demo. Eventually they really started running and Web Tiles was born. Fortunately the Band Team were like-minded and we collaborated. My personal use case was that I wanted a Web Tile to show my blood sugar from Nightscout, an open source app I use to manage my diabetes. I figured we could write new Tiles with web tech.

Since every Band user already has the Microsoft Band (Health) app, why not let the existing app be a bridge and it would own new custom tiles! Web Tiles for glanceable data with a low barrier to entry, and the full Band SDK for rich interactivity. I went to the Band team and started pitching them an idea I called Web Tiles. Lights, my glucose meter, my Nest, and on and on. I wanted a way to easily connect it to anything else I could think of.
#MICROSOFT BAND APP SKIN#
The Microsoft Band has ten sensors: an optical heart rate sensor, 3-axis accelerometer, gyrometer, GPS, light sensor, skin temp sensor, UV sensor, capacitive sensor, a microphone and one for skin response. The Band isn't a watch, and it's not just a pedometer. If I want to make a new simple Tile and share it with my friends I first need to make an app, and to have full coverage, I'll need three versions of the app (iPhone, Windows Phone, Android) as well? Well, while the Band SDK is super powerful, just like the Apple Watch and most wearables, if I wanted to make a Band Tile I needed to make a mobile app first! That was a bummer for me.
#MICROSOFT BAND APP PDF#
When the Microsoft Band (If you get one, print out this Sizing PDF first and measure your wrist) came out I immediately wanted to know what the SDK looked like! How easily could I make a new Tile on my Band? The thing that I wanted in 2004 - and the thing I want today - has always been an easy way to make an application for my wearable device. This was a time before ubiquitous connectivity and it was an amazing device that provided tons of glanceable information.įast-forward to today and I've used a Fitbit, an Apple Watch, a few Pebble Watches, and a Microsoft Band.
