About Augmented SmartWatch Notify

Download the newer Trial Pro Version for Sony SW2 & Pebble Smart Watch @ http://bit.ly/11pnamX

Augmented SmartWatch Notify is a LiveWare extension for the Sony SmartWatch. It automatically shows real-time notification details on the watch without requiring any manual intervention.

*** Note this app is for advanced users only as it requires Android Intents to drive it (such as from Tasker/3rd party
apps). *** Do not download if you are not familiar with Tasker or can program a 3rd party app.
You will need Augmented SmartWatch Pro version instead which does not require Tasker

Prerequisites to using:
Sony SmartWatch LiveWare app running on Android
Tasker (or equivalent)
Some patience!

There are two screens for each notification:

The first screen is shown for 3 seconds (with an initial vibration to alert user to "glance" at their watch)
The second screen is also shown for 3 seconds after the first screen
After the second screen is shown then the watch display will be turned off.
Touching the screen within these 6 seconds will disable the automatic display turning of. Swiping up or the normal two finger tap will exit the app.

The duration of each screen and the vibration can be configured via settings.

1st Screen:
Three lines showing the real time notification information and an associated icon

2nd Screen:
Weather - temperature & location
Weather Icon image on top right side based on current conditions
Battery remaining visual icon (top right side)
One Line showing the time of the next upcoming meeting plus the meeting title (or No More Meetings if none scheduled)
Weather - temperature and conditions
Weather Icon image on lower right side based on current conditions

The app can also be used in "widget" mode to see the last notification received via a manual tap.

This app is triggered by Intents:

com.alk.notify.action.add

It requires two parameters:
sender:
subject:

Sender has special reserved parameters which would trigger special images (the default is for email):

flighttrack - (for the android app flighttrack Pro)

googlevoice - for Google Voice Notifications

sms - for incoming text messages (put sms+number) - the "sms" at the start will be stripped out before being displayed

music - to automatically turn on the music player on the watch (useful if you have it integrated with a car-dock to bring up the music player)

weather - to automatically show the weather app (perhaps have this triggered via tasker every hour)

update weather - to be used to get weather information for current location automatically - suggest you use trigger to issue this intent every x hours (or whatever update cycle you need)

Note the battery status on the phone connected to the Sony SmartWatch is also shown with notifications

Augmented SmartWatch Pro is the paid upgrade for this app that offers many additional features and will be updated (including support for MotoACTV/MetaWatch & Pebble). See http://bit.ly/S3JYCx for more.

I got the pro version for metawatch strata, I played around with it and saw that it didn't add anything to the screen. All I want is to have an analog display or change the clock face and I saw no way

Z70%

This app is definitely feature packed. I'd bet everyone would be able to find a few useful things. It's a shame the interface is so confusing and ugly The app supports like every watch out there, and it shows you the menus and options for all of them. The way the options are distributed are so confusing. The UI needs to be re-thought from the ground up. Add more categories and organize things better. It's quite overwhelming. There should be an option to hide all options that are not applicable to my specific device.

Doesnt work

Uninstalling. Thanks.

This could so easily have been a great SmartWatch app for users of Tasker. The use of intents allows instant notifications to be triggered from within Tasker, so there's no need to have another accessibility service running all the time and/or another app always running in the background, eating up your ram and battery (which is the case with all other SmartWatch notification apps on Google Play at the moment). Unfortunately, this is really just a demonstration of instant SmartWatch notifications, and not at all configurable enough to be a usable, practical app. It forces the display of two screens of information, most of which will be missing or invalid for most users that do not have or want certain apps installed. Only 2 lines of text can be set by the user. It seems that this app was probably just an intermediary step during the development of the author's paid app, and it's somewhat frustrating that with just a little work (removing all the extraneous information you are forced to display, the pointless 2nd screen, adding configuration options) this could have been so useful for many SmartWatch owners.
