[Q] Autoremote tasker, and samsung smart remote

i need a few things to be done but not sure if possible.
Ok i have tasker and autovoice and an app called samsung smart remote. What im looking to do is use autovoice to toggle my lights at home (wemo switches) i can do it from my phone but watch would be way easier. Im also looking for tasker to work with each other. Like if i want it to change channels with the smart remote app from my watch. (im aware the gear 2 can do this but i dont have the money to spend on another gear watch) Is any of this possible at all? Thanks so much in advance for the help.

You can get an ir plugin for tasker
Use AutoVoice to send command to phone via Autoremote. Then Autoremote to trigger tasker profile/task/etc
EDIT: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2438052
I think you'd have to use push button type code in app or find intents if they exists if not using ir

Hope we get Watch Styler app

Love changing watch faces on my Gear one and will like this watch styler app on our Gear Live watches. Go to gearfaces.com to check out some of the incredible themes.

From what I understand the roms are being built by google and not samsung. So I am almost certain there will be a ton of watch faces and styler apps that will be created for all android wear devices. As much as I like my Samsung gear watch there are very limited faces and the styler app for it drains the battery super fast. I hope this wont be the case for android wear.

watchface API is now rolled out iirc, there's even a couple watchface apps in the market (or so it claims, haven't tested it out). Just found this one too: BCD Clock for Android Wear. I would suggest this google+ group for details, is where I found the above app.

To my knowledge there isn't a public watchface API out yet. You can create really basic watchfaces, however unless you use a system certificate or the keystore used to sign the launcher you are unable to access the clockwork service. In turn this means you can't change the top card peak, or the status bar gravity. I played around with this quite a bit today extracting and decompiling the Samsung watch faces and ended up at the same place as Marcus Stahre with my watchface constantly force closing. (https://github.com/togi/android-wear-watchface)

I plan to make it
For now, I have this app (released today) with 20 faces. You control it from your phone.
But soon, I will make something that allows you to choose step by steps the backgroud, font,...

[Q] App to launch app on phone / google voice

So the s-voice has proven fairly limited to Google Now. I've managed to get Google now (on my phone) to intercept and listen to command from my Galaxy Gear 1 stock (setting in Google Now to listen from Bluetooth). However, what would complete the equation is if I can launch Google Now from the GG. Is there an app that can do this? Preferably hook into the Power button on GG, but would I would settle for a simple widget on screen.
I've also tried the Null 23 ROM, but what I've noticed is the Google Now Bluetooth listening functionality no longer worked after that (nor did the camera app that came with NULL rom!). Since the listening part doesn't work, the only option left was to make the GG handle Google Now directly on the gear, which is not optimal (shifting more processing to watch = more processing/battery drain/slower/more mod/tethering to deal with etc)
I'm using Tmobile Note 4. I would prefer not to have to root if possible. Any help/ideas greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

I'm running null 23 with my note 3 and the listening function on Google now works. You have to enable it in settings. Combine this with tasker and tasgear, and you'll get exactly what you're seeking. Search in this forum.

I'm on the Tmobile Note 4. To get Google Now (in the phone) recognition via Bluetooth, did you have to do any special config after you installed the null 23?
Also, is there any easy way to work on Tasker on the gear? After playing with custom ROMs and configuring on the gear, it doesn't seem that fun typing with fat fingers :X
Also, are you tethering with PDAnet or standard Bluetooth tether? The PDANet route with xpose framework still feels unstable (Voice on the Gear as standalone would not recognize my commands).

Same thing. Tasgear and tasker on Nul Rom,
Gear shortcut to launch tasker task to use taskger start tasker task on phone.
Tasker on phone turns on screen and launches google now
Google now on phone uses BT to listen to the gear
Tethering isn't required for this function.
When I do tether, I use Bluetooth Auto Connect on Gear which has tasker plugin

I'm also running the null Rom on my gear. I use the bluetooth tether option in the gear Bluetooth settings. So far I've tried both using Google now straight from the gear and the Bluetooth headset way. Sometimes the intent triggers without intention on the phone which seems to play havoc with spotify so currently I'm leaning more to the use of Google now via the gear alone. Also I find it easier when i can see the search, especially for note to self actions.
Anyway as the title suggests.... I'm no fan of typing on a tiny keyboard, it's a novelty and could be handy for a short text but I find holding my arm in the right position a pain after a while and it's difficult when you're typing stuff like com.orbonis.gear or whatever. Here are not 1 but 3 ways to make it easier.
1. Bluetooth keyboard. I've been using a Bluetooth keyboard with the gear off my wrist as a tiny monitor. Pros good typing experience and looks cool. Cons it can be fiddly to connect (I have to press var simultaneously on my keyboard and it can take a few go's to work) and it's not very portable.
2. Copy and paste. Although I've not been able to get copy and paste to work natively on my gear it works within tasker itself. You'd only have to type a message and a perform task once and then change the extras (which is easier than typing com.orbonis etc). However I think I've found a workaround. I was running the Swype keyboard (paid apk which I then downloaded via realapkleecher to pc, sideload to gear via adb) you can paste with this keyboard. I've found an app called clipper+ which is a syncing clipboard app. Downloaded straight from the play store tonight and was able to sync to the phone version. So I can now see my phones clipboard on the gear. When I get time I'll put Swype back on the gear and see if this does give a workaround for copy and paste.
3. Export from phone. I've not done this for tasker profiles but for apk files and zooper widgets from the phone via Bluetooth sharing from a file manager on the phone. Should be possible to do something similar for a tasker task. Just write the task on the phone and figure out how to send it lol.

Thanks for the great suggestion. I went with the bluetooth keyboard route for now. The other two routes are also viable, but I'm going to try keep it simple on the watch for now. I ended up tasker to intercept svoice and run task to kill it and invoke google voice on the phone instead.
Thanks again!

Could you share the task descriptions? I'm very interested in how others use tasker with the gear. So far I've been using it for things like making Bluetooth tether a one button start and I've been looking at using apps like zooper to launch tasks. Recently I've also worked out a reasonable way to launch tasks on the watch with a command from the phone. I'll probably using that to add to my geo cache tasks on the phone. So when do something like going shopping the phone well recognise the location and the watch will bring up my shopping list, turn on Bluetooth tether, control motions/screen brightness etc.

You could create a profile on your gear that does the following:
When s voice is launched on the gear, kill it and send an intent to the phone.
On your phone, make sure Bluetooth headset is enabled in the Google search app. Then, create the following profile:
When the intent is received, wake the phone, open Google voice and start a search.

Best App

Hi everyone!
Just got my LG G R the other day, part-ex'd it for my old Gear 2 Neo.
So far the watch is so much better than the Samsung one, it looks better, feels better, performs better and is more customizable.
3 hours after getting my watch I was running LeeDrOID and I'm getting into the whole sideloading apps, what apps have you guys found to be must have's for your watch?
I was looking at the android wear forum that has a list of working apps via sideload but just wanted to know what your favourite sideload/non-sideload apps are for this watch.

These are some must have apps for your smart watch
Interval Timer
Interval Timer will come in handy by allowing you to record your split times, reps, rest periods.
Wear Audio Recorder
you can quickly record the sound around you using this simple app. Using the Google Material design guidelines, the app lets you sync to both Google Drive and Dropbox, and you can even record with the screen display off if you'd prefer people not to know.
Aeris Wear Weather
Aeris is one of the best ones out there at the moment. Get detailed hourly forecasts for your day, check the weather in other locations, and even see a weather map from regional radar.

How do I enable "shuffle" for watch faces.

Topic says it all. Though I can locate "shuffle" in Wearable App on phone, I cannot get it to install on watch. Currently I need to manually change watch face(s). Would prefer automatic, as alluded to in web searches.

Was able to locate "shuffle" and load. Located at end of "manage watch faces".

I like Shuffle as well...

I can't find a shuffle function in the wearable app. The watchface app I use has that functionality built in, but I don't use it because the watchface I made is perfect for me...

The shuffle option is on one of the watch faces in My watchfaces section. You can starting shuffling from there. 2 options to shuffle 1 Selected/All 2 Daily/hourly/weekle

is the shuffle time broken for anyone else?
whether I set it to hourly or daily, it just shuffles randomly whenever it wants to

I have "disabled" it. I found that it randomly used the same watch faces (four) and wouldn't adhere to the "schedule". It had a mind of its own. Also, it kept on adding "apps" to my watch. Just as easy to press and hold center of current watch face, which then takes you to all of the watches on your phone and select the one you want to use.
