IMPORTANT: this app requires both a Bold Smartlock AND a Bold Connect device to unlock a Bold smartlock via your watch. Your Garmin smartwatch has to be connected to the internet via your phone or wifi. Bluetooth is not supported via this app since this is not a public protocol.

When pressing the Start button on your smartwatch for the first time you'll be asked to login via the Bold authentication portal. Just follow the instructions in the Garmin Connect IQ app on your smartphone (see further in case you don't get a Connect IQ notification on your phone or the procedure fails). More information is availabe on https://sites.google.com/view/wmd-soft-apps/bold-smartlock.
Note: this is not an officially supported Bold app, but Bold has supported in the development of the app (thanks Bert and Ruud!).

The app's configuration can be accessed via the menu (long press the "Menu" button on your device).
Vibration, sound and wifi support depend on your device's capabilities.
Via the app's settings menu in Connect IQ you can define up to 3 favorite devices by entering the device name or id in the favorite field. This way you can activate the device directly from the screen without having to go through a selection list. This only works for touchscreen devices.

Wifi support is experimental. If enabled, you'll be asked to activate wifi (if it sin't active yet) and a synchronization will be started. This actually just executes the device activation. When synchronization is complete, click the back button on your device to return to the app's screen. Device activation should already have been started. You may have issues with device activation via wifi if the tokens have to be refreshed.

If authenticating via Connect IQ fails!
Next to the app's menu, there's an app setting "Bold code" to manually set an access token in case the Bold login is not triggered by Connect IQ. You can get this code via the webapp https://boldkeys-sandbox.mxapps.io, or manually as described in the document on https://e.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZRMnBZS6YvbgzR9Mjdtj37BDAEQ0i6FB5y. Please contact me if you have issues.

Possible issues or errors are displayed on your Garmin device with an icon and/or text. Errors can occur when:
- Your Garmin devices is not connected to your phone or your phone has no internet connection.
- The account used has no remote activation privilege (configurable in the Bold app on your smartphone).
- Access tokens expired: these are refreshed automatically, but after 30 days of not using the app, they will be expired and you'll be asked to log in again in the Bold authentication portal. You can also trigger the login via the app's menu.
- Your Bold device is offline.
- ...

A wide range of devices has been tested using the Garmin emulator. However, if your device is supported by the app but has issues, please contact the developer.

Note for Instinct users: since this is a single color device, you'll need to set the corresponding setting in the app settings to see the countdown progress while the lock is open.
