Overwatch for WearOS

Now that I have the connectivity and dev side completed on wearOS, my next project will be an Overwatch hook app so that I can pull data from the current setup. A few things that will be needed:
  • Create new Overwatch API's to control single item automation.
  • Watch face wearOS watch face controller app
For the sake of consistency, I have decided on using the androidx libraries which I will also use for the piACC smart watch controller. WearDrawers The code side in the example is fairly straight forward to follow and changing the elements is quite simple. Instead of planets as in the example, I will use them for the overwatch controls. I like the way the images are displayed on each drawer entry and have been experimenting with some color images. It also greyscales the image after a few seconds for ambient mode. This will however require that I write some API specific tasks to send data to the watch. Instead of displaying a web page with the data however, I will create API's to send specific data to each function. So for the wemos as an example.. an initial screen that shows all status, then the subsequent screens provide a toggle. I am considering having the screen display an image of the wemo in the location it resides and have been experimenting with some screen shots at this point, which are promising.
