Any good app that unlocks phone when smartwatch is connected? - Sony Smartwatch

Hi!
I´m looking for a good (and preferable free) app that keeps the phone unlocked when the SW2 is connected via bluetooth.
Thank´s for any advice!

Try skiplock.. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.benhirashima.skiplock
Not affiliated with this app...I use it with my home WiFi and smartwatch 1... Have to enter pin once... And as long as smartwatch stays connected you don't need to enter pin again

I use tasker, disable screen security when watch is connected

Yeah skiplock works well but unfortunately is a bit expensive. I was debating whether to buy it but I'm hoping for a cheaper or free alternative

Just use tasker, I have had it working for ages

How do you setup tasker for this ?
Because i can't undersant how it works, and I also tried some already made projects to use it, and it won't work :/

Problem with this software or the tasker BTNear function, is the battery consumption it requires to track the device.
Here is an alternative solution i made here that take virtually no battery, and root is not needed.
The trick is that it will not track the device itselft, but the notification Android make when the device is connected/disconnected.

here's a step-by-step mini guide to use tasker and smart connect to enable/disable lockscreen
hope it helps
cheers

Nice idea, however smart connect refuse to add action with low energy Bluetooth devices (Sony smartband for example)
A bit stupid because it is smart connect that notifies me if my smartband is connected or not.

It might could work on ATT note, but NOT this note because unfortunately we don't have NFC.

I know we don't have NFC but what if we use another format of communication system?
S beam uses NFC for initial authentication contact then switches to wifi.
So we just need to switch the initial authentication system. There is another app already that uses ultrasonic waves from phone speakers to authenticate so this is very possible.

try BUMP app
That's weird, we have NFC in the AT&T Galaxy Note i717.
Smart Stay will not work because it does not have the sensors required like the S3 does. Same applies to S Beam, as the International Note does not have NFC.

smartstay needs the frontcamera , and is implemented by at least 3 different people since weeks now. just use the search function. look out for smartstay, iseeyou, holdscreenon all of them can be found here in the forum and on google playstore.
*EDIT*:
just to round up things we now have:

Tasker: How to use it with viper smart start? (NOOB)

Hello all,
so i have no idea how to use tasker. I have a Droid Maxx unrooted and i want to be able to put an icon on my home screen to lock/unlock and start my car. How do i do this with tasker? All i can get it to do so far is open the app.
Thanks for the help,
Eric
I would also love to see a way to automate the auto start.
I would be willing to pay for this or an App-Factory created app that will let me use the new Google Now API and auto-voice with my Moto X to say "OK Google Now, start my car".
I can't figure out how to get tasker to simulate the button press within the app.
If anyone would like to make some money, they can PM me and we can work out the details.
my 2 cents
Why dont you just to the autovoice profile ---Load app, input tab command, wait 2 seconds kill app..
seems to me the way to go

OK I am al so a noob but I guess this video should help just replace Pebble watch with the Viper app and instead of Autovoice create a profile with time and date state https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0NiOoSZz3oA&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Help with new SW2?

Hey, I just got my SW2 after eyeballing it for a while. Well, the problem is, after connecting to my phone, I install apps on my phone using SmartConnect, but they never appear on the watch. Or, they do, but are greyed out. Help?! Please?
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk
You would need this as well. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sonymobile.smartconnect.smartwatch2
But make sure you've paired the watch to the phone also.
So what you need is pairing, smart connect app, smart watch 2 app
Okay, I got it setup. Somehow it stopped installing apps along the way.. But now here's my next problem...
It doesn't sync with my phone? When I go to the slideshow app, it never loads my photos, it just shows loading bars and then closes. Same with the camera. Same with music. All of it just does the bar thing and then shuts..
Sent from my LG-P769 using Tapatalk
It'd be great if someone could help me with this, I seem to have narrowed it down.
It doesn't sync to my device. It will for like, five seconds of being connected, but then it'll stop. Am I doing something wrong?

You probably have bluetooth issues between SW2 and your LG.

I already saw all of those.. I'm going to try and reset the watch, unpair from Bluetooth, delete all pairing apps, reboot phone, then try from scratch..

Automate Tasks

Hey Everybody,
Basically I want my phone to connect to the WiFi when in certain locations (eg. Home, friends house), and disable WiFi when out and about. Same goes for when I'm not at home for mobile data. I want it to enable mobile data when I'm out and disable WiFi when I'm out. I've tried a few apps, like tasker, but it was too advanced for me. Also I've tried condi, but it didn't work too well. Any alternatives you guys have? Thanks in advance. <3

Trigger is a good app. You might have to pay for the full version to get location based stuff though but it was worth it for me. There is also Llama location profiles that I havent used in a long time but it worked good when I had it.
Tasker, Baby! It was too hard in the beginning for me too, but I stuck it out, and now, couldn't live without it.

I can second that it's hard in the beginning but after a while it gets better and there's so much you can do with it!
I think there's an app called better wifi which has options like u want

Tasker Voice Controlled TV Remote

I'm not to familiar with writing tasked commands I know there was a plugin to use tasker to voice control the infrared remote on Samsung phones...anyone able to modify that plugin to work with The G3? It would be awesome to use commandr's tasker integration to be able to control the TV with my gwatch. I've been looking around and can't seem to find one that's already available.

You could reach out to the developer of that app and see if they are going to provide support for the G3. It never hurts to ask.....

Yes I just bought the app it worked awesome on my Samsung phones I would like it for my lg. But I have been doing some reading and it looks as if Sony and LG lock their infrared to the os or device somehow
Head's up, he added support for the G3 to this app! Now how do you use voice control with Tasker?
I have auto voice run a command via the Tasker plug in to turn the TV on and also switch the inputs
