Help with Start Workout Shortcut

[ParagJain]

Hi - trying to build a simple shortcut to start the workout activity; I am getting an error "Remote User Isn't Registered".
Using PB5 on Iphone and Apple Watch is Series 1 model, on watchOS 6.2.8

any pointers for me to resolve this ? thx.

Have never seen anything like this. Going to assume that it may be beta related.

May be difference between old watch OS and newer IOS Beta ? Series 1 will not receive the newer watchOS version, so not sure if this will ever work or not.

What is the purpose for this shortcut? Starting workouts is so easy I think you're trying to add unnecessary complication.

Intent is to create a new time-based automation

everyday at 7:30 Am, prompt me for workout, turn-on the music and then start the first workout that I do - walking outside.
that was the intent; Probably an overkill i suppose.

Not really. I was just curious. You could set a reminder instead. Then start the workout when you actually begin.

Not overkill at all. Great idea.

You may be right about the type mismatch between the iOS beta and the watch version. However, I don't think that's intended, so the first thing I would do is report it as an iOS 14 bug in Feedback.

Have reported this ..

Surely looks like a bug now; I created a simple automation to start apple radio as soon as I start Workout, it worked just fine. Then, this one looks more to be a bug and not really an iOS and watchOS Version Mismatch.

Same issue. Did you find a solution?

Nope but, I got used to living with manually starting the workout and it starts my radio channel;
Very convenient as when I switch my workouts, it changes my channels as well -

Personally, I am thinking it may require a faster watch/WatchOS 7 for these to work better. My watch is too old, there will be limited things I can do with it.

I had the same error. I deleted the shortcuts app on my phone and re installed and it’s working fine now
