iOS 26.5 - now supports custom notifications for third party smart watches (EU only for now). Will Casio update their watches to use this feature?

In the EU, iOS 26.5 (just released) finally supports custom notification settings for third party devices, like non-Apple smart watches.

Devices will often require an update to take advantage of this. This would be amazing for is Gshock H5600 series, if Casio decides to implement it, and will resolve one of my biggest complaints about my watch.

Does anyone know if Casio plan to update their watches for this?

Small battery powered eink display to show temperature from a sensor - any recommendations?

Looking for a small (grey scale is fine) eink display to show the temp from a sensor I have on a water tank in my attic. Needs to be battery powered and update maybe 1-2 minutes (unless there is no significant change to the temp). Any recommendations for something like this?

I’m using the Switchbot Bluetooth integration with my 3 blind tilts, roller blind and 4 bot. I have tried a couple of USB dongles that work, but sometimes by devices can take upwards of a minute to respond. Usually it’s when try and use more than one at once.

Would replacing with, or adding, ESP32’s are BT proxies help?
