[TestFlight 3.2.4 (206) AppleWatch app does not refresh/update on start

[GeVaSta]

On my AppleWatch Ultra the openHAB IOS app does not refresh the information on the screen when starting the app. Also leaving the app and returning does not help. The only way to get the latest info, is to force stop the app an restart.
When starting the app, the last retrieved information is shown. On the iPhone app after a few seconds the latest/newest information is showed. This is the wanted behaviour.
On the Apple Watch. The old information stays on the screen. Also pulling the screen down, does not refresh the information.

It would be nice when after starting the Apple Watch app, the latest last retrieved information shows immediately and after pulling the latest info from the openHAB server, this information is updated dynamically.
Also a forced refresh on pulling the screen down, would be appreciated.

I can easily check if the information is stale or up-to-date because my first line in the Apple Watch sitemap includes the openHAB server time. When this time is the same as the Apple Watch time, I know the data shown is the latest data.

Some more information.
The Apple Watch follows the latest refresh on the coupled iPhone. When I refresh the iPhone (by showing the app) the Watch also updates.
It looks the Apple Watch is not able to perform an update/refresh but does dynamically follows the update state op the iPhone.

Noticed on my Apple Watch; after several hours of not using the AW, after starting the app, it says ‘sitemap loading…’ and after some seconds I get the latest updated sitemap. Within a few hours you only get the latest version (without ‘Sitemap loading’) of the connected iPhone.

@GeVaSta Can you double check this on your Apple Watch with the latest 3.2.6 (209), which updates fine for me?

I checked it and it looks good. No problems so far.
The behaviour at this moment: when opening the AW app within a short (hours?) time the old info is displayed immediately and after about 2 seconds updated with the latest information.
When updating at a later time (next day?) it starts with a black screen with ‘loading sitemap’ and after some seconds the latest information is displayed.
The exact time (or even an other cause like going out of range of iphone) before the not updated or black screen shows after starting the app, is not yet clear to me. Most preferable to me would be to always start with the latest. Information and then updating as quick as possible.
Also a “pull to refresh” option like in the iPhone app would be nice.

Some additional information about my experiences.
It looks the updates work in the situation where, after the app on the watch is started, the ‘old’ i formation is displayed immediately.
However when the app is started and the display shows ‘loading sitemap’ the app does not show information only after the app on the coupled iPhone is opened. If not, the ‘loading sitemap’ stayes on screen and nothing else happens.
I thought in previous attempts the AW did update even when the loading sitemap was displayed. It could be that when the iPhone app was openend recently, this updates will occur only when the iPhone app is not used for longer time, the update does not happen.
Perhaps I can after some time be more specific.
