Is it possible to send commands to the pebble to open up a certain pebble app via the smartphone. Such as using tasker to create a task that when a music app is opened a certain pebble app is opened on the watch to control the volume or skip to the next song.

Like he already told you, yes you can, using that app. There are intents you can send to open up and close the watch app, among other things.
Example of Tasker creation that uses that feature:

What are these intents to open or close a watch app? Specifically the Music app? I guess these are part of the SDK, but without having to download it, does anyone have these handy?
Sorry to bump a dead thread, but I'm looking to do the same thing.
Edit: I figured out how to do it! Inside the settings for Music Boss, go to Tasker Integration and make sure that launch watch app intent is selected.
Then in Tasker, make a profile that activated when your music app is open. Go to to tasks, and create a send intent action, then select the action field and paste this into it: ca.rebootsramblings.musicboss.LAUNCH_MB_WATCHAPP
All done! You can also make an exit task by typing CLOSE_MB_WATCHAPP instead.
Edit 2: Oh my, you can even have it change which app your controlling. I now have Music Boss open up on the pebble and switch which app it controls when I open Play Music, Beyondpod, Netflix, or Hulu.

Please help. I need a music app similar / same as Samsung music app in that I can set it to exit / close down in x minutes etc. And also I want to be able to hit exit / end to exit the app. The Apollo app that comes with Sentinal doesn't exactly allow you to do these tasks. I've try winamp, realplayer and various others - none will allow me to do this.
Thanks in advance
If you got tasker.May you can make any music app do that?

Tasker might seem a little tricky actually. My advice is you use Poweramp, It has power-off timer

Thanks guys....I don't know why developers don't include this function. On Samsung stock music player you can set it to turn off / exit in 5, 10,15 minutes etc. and there's an action function button to exit the app....I've tried my music apps and have found none to do this...very annoying.
On my gear I noticed that the quick reply feature for text messages does not work unless you are using the stock app I the note 3. Also the media controller did not work with any app other than the Samson music app. Did I configure something wrong or is that the way it is designed?

can't talk about text replying, but 3rd party music players works for me.
i'm using poweramp and i am able to control music using my gear. it doesn't show albumart though.
just make sure you do not have more than 1 music player installed, as sometimes it goes crazy and it will control music through samsung app...

dont know with the messages, but for the media controller i got a dirty fix that works well in my case.
i only use spotify for music, and a audiobook player app, so i simply froze the stock music app with titanium backup and now it works like a charm for my other apps.
the funny thing was that before i froze it, i could control other audio apps, but i had to first push a button on the media controller, then go to the phone and kill the stock music app, after that it recognized the other audio app..
hope this helps :good:
Has anyone found a better app for remote controlling your music.
the stock one is ok, but it would be nice to see the track listing.
Null
And maybe any good music programs to use with null rom, and non samsung phone?

I personally used M2D's manager app to send tasker intents from my watch to my phone and on the phone I have tasks for each control and use "Media Utilities" in the Play store to actually perform the actions as it has a tasker plugin. I also use it to send the currently playing song to my watch and display it with the Zooper widget. It's tricky and time consuming but there is a tutorial in the M2D thread in these forums.
Hello.
I've been using an app in my androidphone "Metafy" that shows track and artist on my pebble when using spotify. Since the latest update of Spotify this does not work any more. Any one have the same problem?

Found an alternative app for sending Spotify info to the Pebble music controller that seems to work.
(BTW I'm using galaxy s3 and liquid smooth ROM 4.4.2).
why don't you share what you found as an alternative?
Alternative app
I use Media Utilities. It works with Spotify and Podcast (and possibly more).
The disadvantage is, that it needs notification access to read out the current track/podcast. Additionally the user interface is a little odd and buggy.
But it works and nothing bad has happened yet.
...yay, can't post links as a newbie, but I bet you can find it yourself in the Play store ( com.batescorp.notificationmediacontrols.alpha )

Sorry I forgot to put that in there. It was not a good solution anyways it was a strange app that constantly increased the volume.
Tried Media Utilities as posted above and it works!
It does not show Album though.
In the app I added spotify, and then in settings under Application Integration i checked the marker next to Pebble Watch.
Use Music Boss to fix this, and you'll also gain the best watch app for Pebble as a bonus n

Hello all,
I just started motovlogging, which is just riding a motorcycle and doing a vlog, and I was interested in using my Galaxy Gear to start recording my voice from my phone which has a mic connected to it.
I was wondering if there was anyone out there that could make an app to allow me to start an HD audio recording on my phone from the app on the gear. I currently use "Smart Voice Recorder" from the play store and I get good audio quality from it. I would just like to be able to start, stop, and see the current length of my audio recording on my gear. The higher the audio quality the better.
It would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Bump. Thread just got moved.

You could achieve most of what you've asked for pretty easily without a new app being developed. You'd need: easy voice, tasker and tasgear. Easy voice has a tasker plugin to start and stop voice recording. Create start and stop tasks using the plugin on your phone then use tasgear to remotely start the task via the gear.
The best I can think of for seeing the recording time would be to use the stop watch on the gear. If you have tasker on the gear then that could set up the task to also load the stop watch at the same time as the phone is recording audio.
The first option is a lot easier in the setup side than the second as you'd either need to start side loading onto your gear or flashing null Rom
