Basically, Fitbit are shutting down the Pebble servers today. Peoples watches will continue to work but they wont be able to control apps using voice anymore and they wont be able to install new apps.
They've been working with Rebble.io to hand over services. They're not ready yet, but you may want to sign up to rebble.io before pebble goes away today in order to transfer your data across.
I knew nothing about this deadline until this morning when I got an app update for the Pebble app on my phone and I read the listed changes.
- mike-cardwell 8y agoFYI, the timing in this comment is out. I actually submitted this post and made this comment yesterday, about 24 hours before it is suggesting. Apparently the post was put in the "second-chance pool" by HN and resubmitted. So, the deadline has passed now. That said, it's still worth knowing about Rebble. Once their services go live, you will apparently just be able to click a link on your phone, and the Pebble app will be re-configured to talk to the Rebble servers.
- SyneRyder 8y agoHas the deadline actually passed? Looks like the Pebble servers are still live as I type this (Snowy still works for me) - so if you have a Pebble, do it now! A Rebble account is free, but dictation & weather services will be $3/month or $33/year.
- pedalpete 8y agoKinda surprised Rebble.io doesn't explain this on their website. I had no idea what it was looking at the top of the page.
