**The intended audience for this application are those comfortable with configuring a Home Assistant** (e.g. editing the YAML configuration files) and debugging why URLs don't work. It does not require programming skills, but the menu is configured via JSON which feels like "coding" (more like "describing"). If you are not comfortable with this relatively low level of configuration, you may like to try other Garmin applications instead.

## Limits of Use

1. An API request issued over Wi-Fi requires the watch to open up an IP connection to your Wi-Fi access point. This means setting up a secure channel with WPA and being allocated an IP address. Establishing the communication channel takes a short while. _You will see that this adds a noticeable delay to useability._

2. **This new function can only be used when the menu is already cached.** _The watch will not perform an HTTPS GET request to retrieve the JSON menu file_. You will not be able to turn on the Wi-Fi/LTE connection option in the application settings if the menu is not cached (or at least set to be cached in due course).

2. **The Wi-Fi/LTE functionality can only be used when the menu is already cached.** _The watch will not perform an HTTPS GET request to retrieve the JSON menu file_. Therefore, to enable the Wifi/LTE functionality in the application settings, you must enable caching first.
|

|

3. The menu item statuses will not be set correctly. Instead you will be warned about the lack of connectivity by a 'toast', i.e. message partially occupying the top of the screen temporarily. Fetching the menu item statuses, including rendered templates, requires its own API call, hence this not performed.

4. Do not forget you need to be within range of your watch's configured Wi-Fi access point to take advantage of this functionality. LTE is obviously longer range.

### Please Note
|

|

We emphasize that the Wi-Fi/LTE functionality should be viewed as a 'last resort' method for executing tasks when your phone is not available. It is not recommended as a continuous mode of operation.
