| Version | Explanation |
|------------------------|-------------|
| Application (original) | For newer devices that allow glance views in their applications, e.g. Venu 2, the GarminHomeAssistant application can be started either from a glance or from the list of applications and activities. Head over to the [GarminHomeAssistant](https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/61c91d28-ec5e-438d-9f83-39e9f45b199d) application page on the [Connect IQ application store](https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/) to download the application. The application can be started two different ways, either from the glance in the carousel, or as an application from the list of applications & activities. With the latter, it is worth marking the application as a favourite.<br/><img src="images/Venu2_app_start.png" width="200" title="Venu 2" style="margin:5px"/><img src="images/Vivoactive3_app_start.jpg" width="200" title="Venu 2" style="margin:5px"/><br/>If you place the application on your list of favourites, and rearrange it to appear near the top, then the item is just one button press away from the watch face. This second picture here shows the application menu on a Vivoactive 3 watch.<br/><img src="images/Venu2_glance_start.png" width="200" title="Venu 2" style="margin:5px"/><br/>On newer watches, you can also start the application from the glance carousel. The glance view here typically displays some trackable status, so ours provides some early indication of availability. Older watches will still allow you to start this application from the list of applications and activities. |
| Widget | For older devices that use widgets, e.g. Venu (1) as opposed to applications with "glances", the GarminHomeAssistant application can instead be started from the widget carousel. This is a separate item in the Connect IQ AppStore and with this installation, the application will no longer appear in the list of applications and activities. Head over to the [GarminHomeAssistant](https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/) widget page on the [Connect IQ application store](https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/) to download the widget.<br/><img src="images/Venu_Widget_sim.png" width="200" title="Venu 2" style="margin:5px"/><br/>Typically the widget view implements something similar to the glance view, e.g. status, and exists in a widget carousel to allow you to select an application to launch.<br>**Please note that memory in widgets is more limited than applications. This means a large menu definition can crash the widget without the code catching the error.** |

As the source code base for both is the same, the version numbers of each will be kept in step. That means that the widget version starts version numbering at 2.0.
