As discussed in this thread: https://synthiam.com/Community/Questions/9107 I have been working on controlling my robots from my new Android Wear watch.
Eventually, I want to make a plugin and an Android Wear app to make this easier, but with the combination of 3 (unfortunately, all paid) android apps, I now have a controller. Note: Unlike the Apple watch app that DJ wrote that uses ARC Mobile, this one requires a PC running ARC and the TCP Client connection activated.
The app has 5 configurable buttons, which I have set up for basic movement panel, but each button actually supports tap, double tap, press and hold, and swipe so I could add 15 additional functions.
It uses the following three apps:
Tasker https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.dinglisch.android.taskerm
Send/Expect https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.asif.plugin.sendexpect
and AutoWear https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joaomgcd.autowear
There are some issues with AutoWear on Android Wear 6.0.1 (the latest version) but none that impact this function, it just took some work to set up because I could not get through the setup wizard, and some of the features (like gesture support) don't work, but the multi-button function I used work fine.
If anyone else has an Android Wear watch and wants me to put together a tutorial, post here and if there is enough interest I'll write up instructions and post my Tasker files.

not at this moment,just bouth two robots.
Alan,
nice work, you really like plug & play, 3 different apps, plus all the glitches ...
soon you will start thinking in a plugin.
sorry my ignorance/laziness, does your watch have speakers & microphone like apple watch ?
It has a microphone, and can connect to Bluetooth headphones or speakers to listen to audio from the phone. It vibrates, but does not have a speaker. It can direct the phone it is paired with to play audio though.

in this topic below are the pics. pics adventure bot
@Pinocchio... Why does Alan want to see your adventure bot? You posting in the wrong thread again?
Hey Alan, this all sounds very interesting...I am not really sure if I would want to buy some Android wear in the near future, I just bought a Fitness Tracker to have another option to interact with my robot. But if I had known all these options, I would have gone for the wear!
Anything that will let us combine services or talk to different devices is well apreciated within the community I would guess...because thats where the fun starts right?
Keep us updated, cool stuff!

alan has same wrong config like me from adventure bot,so i figur it out. we where looking the config from jeremie,i found that and place the link here, cause we where talking about the watsh and i wrote below a PS i found the config from jeremie,that text is gone,i dont see it. so somebody has removed.
Thanks Patrick, I saw your post. (I wouldn't say we have it configured wrong, as we followed the build instructions and/or tutorial, just that there is a different version in several of hte pictures and videos that looks like it solves the low clearance problem we have seen).
RR, it is OK. Patrick and I were discussing Adventurebot build configuration in another thread. If we had private messaging, we wouldn't need to hijack threads to find each other....
