This application calculates the positions of the planets and celestial bodies including the sun and moon. It provides right ascension and declianation values as well as distance, azimuth, altitude and the rise and set time of the body. The calculations are thanks to the work of Paul Schlyter and his pages on calculating planetary positions.
There are two types of pages that can be found on the app. The first is a menu listing of all the celestial body, and the second is the data from the celestial body. This first example is the menu.
And the second is an example of the data from a celestial body. The sun in this case.
The package node is required to build the application.
The following version is the one I used to build the app. The instructions on how to set it up is avialable at the fitbit developer website.
$ node --version
v14.21.3
To install node 14 follow the instructions from the developer website, in short run.
nvm install 14
nvm alias default 14
Install node by running the above commands, then clone the fitbit-planets repository. Change directory to the fitbit-planets directory and use to install the node_modules needed and to build the app. Run the following two commands.
cd fitbit-planets
cd app && yarn install && yarn build
You should get output something like this.
yarn install v1.22.19

Setup the developer bridge in the fitbit app on your phone. Select Fitbit App, Account, device (In my case Sense 2), Developer Menu and toggle the switch Developer Bridge. On your watch, select Settings, Developer Bridge and Turn on USB debugging. This will require a reboot of the watch. Then execute the the next three commands from a bash shell.
export FITBIT_QA_COMMANDS=1
export FITBIT_DEVBRIDGE_DUMP=1
yarn debug
You should get output similar to the following section.
yarn run v1.22.19
$ fitbit

Now connect your phone and device. Then run build-and-install to sideload the app to your watch.
fitbit$ connect phone
Auto-connecting only known phone: Samsung SM-A520W
fitbit$ connect device
Auto-connecting only known device: Sense 2
fitbit$ build-and-install
You should get output similar to the following.
