╿AutoWear is a Tasker plugin for Wear OS. You need to have Tasker (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm) installed to use many of its features, so please be aware of that before using it.
You also need an Wear OS device. It won't work on other types of smart watches
╽You can get a free trial of Tasker here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/download.html

AutoWear enables you to automate your Wear OS device in ways you never imagined





☑ Create Screens
Create your own interactive screens. Check the video and screenshots for examples




☑Create Notifications
Show notifications on your wear device whenever you want, with the info you want. Best of all, most screens can be embedded in notifications!




☑Floating Icons
Create icons that stay on top of everything you do so they always stay immediately accessible no matter where you are.



☑Complications
Integrate AutoWear with your watch-face using Wear OS complications, bringing Tasker automation directly to your favorite watch-face!




☑Control your watch
Change settings, launch apps, check your heart-rate and step count, check your watch's battery level... The possibilities are endless!



☑Automate UI Navigation on Your Watch
AutoWear uses your watch's Accessibility Service to allow you to simulate taps and other UI interactions on it from Tasker! Important Note: the AutoWear accessibility service is used JUST for automation purposes and in no way collects or shares your data.




☑Control your phone from your watch
You can react to watch events like plugged in to a power source, or screen on and off or even connected and disconnected from your device to automate your phone in any way you can think of




☑Free Trial
You can try out the full version of AutoWear with the built-in 7 day trial. You need to sign in to Google+ to enter the trial so that it stores your trial date on Google's "Cloud Saves" server. You can just set all sharing settings to private if you're concerned about privacy when signing in :)



Important Note: there is known issue on the Sony Smartwatch 3 Android 5.0 that causes battery drain and makes the shake feature not work. To avoid this, please update your Sony Smartwatch 3 to Android 5.1 and all everything will work the way it should!

Important Note 2: there is known issue that the shake detection doesn't work on the Huawei watch if it's not updated. Please update it to the latest version to make the shake feature work.

The app unlock may not work if you have Lucky Patcher, Freedom, or possibly any other program designed to circumvent licensing protection.

Ratings and reviews

Used up the trial trying to get basic functionalities to work. There is no documentation and the slim amount of online tutorials is either very basic or very specific. Even searching community platforms just brought up more people with the same problems, but no solutions. Might be a powerful app in theory, but with this level of design, documentation and resources, it's more of a time sink than anything else, sadly. Edit after response: Some XML files in a forum aren't a technical documentation

Could use more conditions and triggers for automation. That said it is a one-of-a-kind app and has the potential to save battery. I am using it to turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi if not on my wrist, and back on when on wrist. The only issue I have is the "please wait" dialogue interrupting my usage if it slips a bit or if I am wearing my watch bit loose. Not only that, but sometimes "please wait" gets stuck on the watch screen when the action is triggered; it stays until I press the home button.

Clunky and slow. Very unintuitive app, feels like every feature could have been named in a less confusing way. There's a second of delay between a button press on the watch and a task actually running on the phone (partly because every button waits for a double tap even if there's no command set for it - grave sin of UI design). But it has a lot of customizable features, so that's something.
