How to create a custom JSON config file for Commandline application

[MartinNievas]

Hi. I saw that in #243 the tool for the command line was introduced. But I can't find how to set the option:

-c, --custom-config <json-file> A custom JSON config file to load
                                    configuration for the watch.

In #190 there is an example of the JSON file, but I guess there is a way to generate it. Could someone tell me the steps to create it? or from where can I find the format to create the file?

Thanks for the reminder, this is actually not yet supported in the CLI or GUI, but only available locally for now until I can finish this.

For now you can apply the following patch to write the current settings and apps to JSON files as part of regular syncing in CLI or GUI.

Maybe you can come up with changes which add a GUI-setting/commandline-parameter for this and store the file in the configuration-directory instead of the current directory?

Hi, thanks for the reply. I successfully apply the patch, but I was getting problems connecting, mainly because I don't understand what username and userkey was.

Reading this comment I understood that APPKEY is also device/account specific. All these values can be found in the file %AppData%\Roaming\Suunto\Moveslink2\Settings.xml on windows. After that, I was able to download the json files (apprules and settings) with openambit-cli.

Is there any other way to get those values? (APPKEY, username and userkey)

Writing the json-config to json-files is now available in the UI via #258 and in the command-line application via https://github.com/openambitproject/openambit/commit/6c3c781cfdfdd8587f6ed2876f3db631e67bb132
