Pebble MMOL settings issues

[sulkaharo]

http://www.nightscout.info/wiki/welcome/website-features says DISPLAY_UNITS = mmol doesn't apply to the Pebble and that seems to be the case.

The Pebble watchface has a units setting, but it doesn't actually change the units that are displayed, only the units used to configure the warnings. How the units are actually configured is not documented.

The undocumented way to get the data in mmols is by appending ?units=mmol to the end of the data source URL.

Things to do (?):

• Have DISPLAY_UNITS actually affect Pebble
• Have the API send over the units used for the data
• Have the setting in the watch face config actually change the units shown if changed to be different from the default

[ELUTE]

Appending ?units=mmol is documented. Both in the pebble config itself and nightscout.info site.

I guess there's multiple pebble pages for the watchface in that case? The page linked to from the docs, which I used as reference, doesn't mention this.

We should fix the pebble to use the DISPLAY_UNITS setting, the units parameter could be an override

[YYGIRL]

It would break backwards compatibility. Many people still use versions that
don't have a config file. Plus we don't have room in the message going down
to the watch.

Think a typo in my comment confused things, the pebble endpoint should use the DISPLAY_UNITS setting, for backwards compatibility we can still support the units parameter.

Got it, thanks.

Think this is done, but we should verify

[jasoncalabrese]

I verified that this is done, the DISPLAY_UNITS env is used in /pebble now so your don't need to use ?units=mmol anymore. If it's set it will work as an override.

@ELUTE, @jimsiff, can we update the docs to remove ?units=mmol and have users set DISPLAY_UNITS.
