With timer active prey.service should run once every hour, meaning checking your device on https://panel.preyproject.com/devices should never show Offline for >1 hour, right? In my case only running prey.service manually will update the info on url though, suggesting the timer doesn't actually call prey.service, or have I understood it all wrong?

However, this may be missed, for example, the device goes to sleep. It will then call again on the next hour, depending if the device is not sleeping/have Internet access etc.
Calling the prey.service (or even the prey.sh script) manually, yes, that will trigger a login, notifying prey servers that the device has activated and responding to the device with actions to take.
So, the prey.timer calls prey.service, just as you could do manually.

I hope to further expand this to include the option to enable lock code remotely - perhaps Jolla will incorporate this better eventually

Enabling a timer is not enough. I changed the code, so that after a timer is enabled, he is also started. Otherwise, the timer would work only after a reboot.
So
enables the timer, but he is executed after a reboot.
enables the timer instantly.
So
systemctl enable prey.timer
systemctl start prey.timer

I didnt start the timer, since the config file was needing update with the owners API key, before this would work anyways.

nieldk: would it be possible to compile all the prey stuff against openssl-1.0.1f-1.2.1 as installed in 1.0.4.20 by default?

Yes, no problem.
What needs to be recompiled actually only is perl modules
IO::Socket::SSL and Net::SSLeay
And those you can easy do by using cpan
cpan install IO::Socket::SSL
cpan install Net::SSLeay
allthough, you will need to install development tools to do that.
But, I will compile all during the next days.

Here goes, the final update of the UI:
v0.1-4
- Registration output in real time (and possible registration abort)
- Timer state updated and always displayed on main page
- Various fixes (Python mostly) and graphical nick nacks
https://openrepos.net/content/solbrit/preyui
"Final" is ofcourse an optimistic expectation that'll keep me going until the first critical bug is reported
