`itd` is a daemon that uses my infinitime [library](https://go.arsenm.dev/infinitime) to interact with the [PineTime](https://www.pine64.org/pinetime/) running [InfiniTime](https://infinitime.io).
It will return a JSON response. A response can have 3 fields: `error`, `msg`, and `value`. Error is a boolean that signals whether an error was returned. If error is true, the msg field will contain the error. Value can contain any data and depends on what the request was.
The various request types and their data requirements can be seen in `internal/types`. I can make separate docs for it if I get enough requests.
Since the PineTime does not have enough space to store all unicode glyphs, it only stores the ASCII space and Cyrillic. Therefore, this daemon can transliterate unsupported characters into supported ones. Since some languages have different transliterations, the transliterators to be used must be specified in the config. Here are the available transliterators:
Place the desired map names in an array as `notifs.translit.use`. They will be evaluated in order. You can also put custom transliterations in `notifs.translit.custom`. These take priority over any other maps. The `notifs.translit` config section should look like this:
This daemon comes with a binary called `itctl` which uses the socket to control the daemon from the command line. As such, it can be scripted using bash.
This is the `itctl` usage screen:
```
Control the itd daemon for InfiniTime smartwatches
Usage:
itctl [command]
Available Commands:
completion generate the autocompletion script for the specified shell
firmware Manage InfiniTime firmware
get Get information from InfiniTime
help Help about any command
notify Send notification to InfiniTime
set Set information on InfiniTime
Flags:
-h, --help help for itctl
Use "itctl [command] --help" for more information about a command.
To install, install the go compiler and make. Usually, go is provided by a package either named `go` or `golang`, and make is usually provided by `make`. The go compiler must be version 1.16 or newer for the `io/fs` module.
To cross compile, simply set the go environment variables. For example, for PinePhone, use:
```shell
make GOOS=linux GOARCH=arm64
```
This will compile `itd` and `itctl` for Linux aarch64 which is what runs on the PinePhone. This daemon only runs on Linux due to the library's dependencies (`dbus`, `bluez`, and `playerctl` specifically).
