### Weather and Calendar
### Weather, Calendar, and Location
By using the `Shortcuts` app on your phone, you can send weather and calendar data to your watch. This works by sending a notification, which is read by the watch through ANCS. The watch then parses the notification for the data.

Note: The shortcuts must keep the names defaulted by the shortcut in order for the watch to detect the weather, calender, or location data. If you rename it from `BangleDump...` to something else, it will no longer get the info, and just display it as a notification on the watch.
These shortcuts can also be automated to run periodically, for example every hour, using the `Automation` tab in the Shortcuts app.

- run the shortcut
- deactivate the focus mode
