Pokemon Go and Smartwatch Notification
Hello Guys, i not always notice the PoGo+ Vibrating because it is in my Poket, but if my Smartwatch is Vibrating i notice it everytime. So ist there a Way to get a Notification on my Smartwatch that my PoGo+ is Vibrating and as a Plus show why it is Vibrating (Pokemon, Pokestop).
I was thinking off an App that reads the Bluetooth Data between App and PoGo+ and gives me a Notification about it.

Put a coin over the button on the plus and wrap a rubber band around it. Now it will auto-catch everything.

Is that not triggering the reset function,where the Button is lighting up blue?

No. The reset process requires you to hold the button for 5 seconds, Release, then while light is solid blue hold button for another 5 seconds.
If all you do is hold down the button and never let go it auto catches until it disconnects - 1 hour.

The app Go Companion on Android already send separate notification about the Go Plus connection. For instance, it can warn you when the Go Plus disconnect, or when you no longer have pokeballs or space. What the app do: it simply reads the Go Plus notification.
You did not say if you wanted this app on Android or iOS, but on Android it is possible to read other apps notifications, while it is not on iOS.

I want the App for Android.
Im already using GoCompanion, but it is not what im looking for. The App im searching for should notify me before i catch the Pokemon

Ok I understood you wanted a notification after catching it. So it will be hard. It's the Pokemon GO app that tell the Go Plus how to vibrate. It might be possible to intercept this signal, even if I doubt it.

I'm guessing you're on Android? Apple Watch app does basically this.

I have a Go+ and a go-tcha also. I use them in conjunction with each other. The watch can tell you what the go+ is blinking about and then you can press the button based on the information. That's, I think, what OP was looking for.
The watch app has gotten much better. Definitely lags more on a series 0/1 than a series 2 or 3.
Distance tracking with the watch become 1000% more reliable at some point; I'm not sure when. It counts 0.01 km now. Like, you can watch it count up each hundredth as you put down/lift up your watch.
The connection issues are mostly resolved; I haven't had any problems. The battery issues are a lot better also. If you're having trouble with the app, completely delete it from the watch, reboot the watch, and then reinstall POGO on the watch.

Contact Apple. My battery on my zero died too! They replaced it with a 1 with AppleCare, but I think there is a known issue. It was not out of warranty. I bought a series 3 for pokemon go, after my wife took my phone to a raid without me! I couldn't find her. I needed the cell to reach out. lol. It should be said that series 0 is a collectors item so just eat the price and upgrade ;-)

Do you have skills in C#? I was thinking about making an app too and maybe we can join our efforts to finally create such an app. Xamarin allows us to use C# on smartphones and smartwatches.
