Ok, this seems like a stupid question but I see from the watchmaker description, it has support for Tasker. I have also seen some people taking about using Tasker integration with watchmaker. I am new to watch maker and playing around with some faces I downloaded. Just curious, how do you do this? Do I need to download a plug in? Also, are there any tutorials that have been written either on XDA or elsewhere? I seem to be having a problem finding it while searching.
It's probably staring at me in the face so sorry I advance if it is.
Obviously, need Tasker on your phone and actions set up.
Load WatchMaker on your phone and companion app on watch.
Get a watch face (facerepo is a good place). Download and then import into WatchMaker on your phone using the arrow button on the my faces section.
Scroll down and look for the option to duplicate the watch face. (If you want to save a clean copy of the original.)
Then open the duplicate and scroll down and choose 'customize.' Select an existing object on the watch face, or add one. Then scroll down to the Tap action option, select that, select the Tasker option from the list of options, and that will allow you to choose a tasker action to execute when you tap that object on the face on your phone.
Back up using the back arrow in the upper left corner of the app (save is automatic). Then make sure that the WatchMaker is set as your watch face on the watch. Then use the load option in WatchMaker on your phone to transfer the watchface to the watch.
Tap the object in the watch face and tasker action is executed.
There is no Tasker for the Gear S3.

I know there is no tasker for the S3. The watchmaker app has integration of the tasker app. It supposedly allows you to trigger tasker tasks from the watch face.

It does, as I noted above.
There is also a Tasker app for the S3 called TaskS2, that works very well.
And another option is via the Trigger app.

True, but TaskS2 only lets you run profiles stored on the phone. No control over the watch itself.

Correct. But that is much better than no tasker support at all.

Hello,
I'm searching for an app that could launch another app when you launch an app
I would call that "sync app launch"
Inside this app: you can choose to launch app2 (and app3 if you want) when app1 is launched by user
If app close can be syncing too it would be great
Typical example:
When I launch a GPS app, I would like the radar detector app to be launched at the same time, and closed when I close GPS app
Does someone know something like this?
Thanks!

I agree with tasker. not easy to learn but has endless possibilities some aren't even seen in more intuitive gui based apps. tasker is by far the most useful app out there, you definitely get way more than you originally expect
+1 for tasker
wooo impressive app thanks!

---------------------------------------------
Most of these apps were requested by users. You may ask me for update or fixes. You may request apps for Gear and I will consider them if possible
Thanks
Get well is very handy, I'm bad at remembering meds.
Drink water is a good idea but it needs the option to remove mistapped entries.
I have installed walk up add it seems a great idea but not actually tried it yet.

I am missing 1 very helpful app/function I had on my Pebble over everything else so far, which is a simple way to send text from my phone to the watch. This can be a to do list or a shopping list. Pebble had Evernote integration, but even though I saw it announced for the Gear, there's no such thing yet.
Even syncing w/ Google Keep would be nice or if all else just a simple enter text on phone, send list to watch function.
Bonus if I can get tick boxes to check off list items as I complete/acquire them.
Any chance of getting the voice search part of Google now?

Evernote is coming to Gear. I think developing similar app won't be competitive after the release of Evernote. All users would go to Evernote.

Google Authenticator
Symantec VIP Token
thx
I have released new app: vSilent

New app published, vRecord
Turn your Gear into camera viewfinder and capture photos or record videos from your gear. You can also, record audio files
great apps.. Thank you very much
Few suggestions below:
vAlarm
1. Can you please provide an option to have one time alarm
2. Option to setup weekdays like Sunday - Thurday
3. Facility to setup multiple alarms
4. Ability to close alarm with swipe down motion
vRecord:
1. Increase the image preview speed (maybe by decreasing the preview image size)
2. Facility to change camera pic resolution
3. Flash on/off/auto for camera
4. Option to see audio or video recording in app itself as gallery does not seem to refresh. Or you can put it in corresponding default media folders

Very good points for wvAlarm. I want to release v2 in few weeks. I will do my best
For vRecord, the app doesn't perform automatic media scan as I wrote in the app description. I tried to do it but code didn't work so far. Other points are good and coming soon
Thanks for feedback

The new Gear Watch Designer is great but it seems to be lacking one particularly important indicator.
It would be great to have a condition for watchface design that shows the battery charge level of a connected phone, not just the battery level of the watch itself.
Is there any way in which this could be added using the Gear Watch Designer or some other method?
Thanks
I believe it can only be added by a companion android app. Unless the designer devs come up with a way to generate a generic android app for that or Samsung updates their accessory service to let watch faces access that info, it's not going to happen.
If you know how to code an Android app, it is actually very easy to get that information.

Posted on the Samsung Dev Forum. They're adding the functionality soon.
Hey guys, I am a new user of Gear S2 Classic, I would like to know if there is any watch face already that is showing the battery level of the phone that is connected.
Thank you in advance for the info.

All in One! watch face ($1.99 I think) has an option to show phone battery level. You have to have to install a phone app called "Gear Data Provider". It works great with my Galaxy S4.

Hey, thank you for the reply.
Unfortunately, I was not able to find "all in one!" watch face anywhere, also there is no app called " Gear data provider" in the google play store, atleast for my location.
Any advice?

On my Galaxy S4 phone in the USA, I start the Samsung Gear app, then select Samsung Galaxy Apps and Samsung Gear Apps pops up. Then, I touch "Top" which is to the right of Category and Staff Picks. Once there, I touch "Top free" and change it to "Top paid". It's the very first item in the list - All in One! In the "description" area of the watch face details, the dev (Alex Rokhlov) explains how to download Gear Data Provider from Google Play Store. There it's called GDP. Here's a link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=shu.gear.data
Good luck!
I have found a way to get the battery of the connected phone via tasker and the Taskers2 app on the gear s2. Just make a task in tasker that displays the battery level on the notification bar of the phone for three seconds, and then removes it. It will then display your phones battery % on your gear s2. Its not integrated into the watch face, but it works for me.
You will need to have Tasker, Tasks2 on your watch, and the paid companion app TaskS2

I did outher way using tasker... My phone say it out loud the battery and if bellow 29 it says low battery

Now that WatchMaker is compatible with the Gear, you can use that to show Phone Battery Level as well as Watch Battery Level. However, the Step Counter and Weather Information are both not working properly, unless Im missing something in the settings of the app.
Weather works.
Steps.... not really but sometime.

cjkbarnett, I would like to import that task into tasker. I tried using the link provided, but Tasker said it needs to me a prj.xml file. When I added the ".prj", the file showed up in the import field in Tasker, but then error code "no #1$s found" Any suggestions?

Hello All,
I'm considering buying the Gear S2. I love almost everything about it. However, I just got a Wink hub for my home(to turn on lights and fans and such on a schedule/by a trigger/from my smartphone). In the app, there's the option to create a shortcut for an Android Wear device. Does anybody know if there's a way for the Wink hub shortcuts to work with tizen? I know that Pebble has an app to make it work, but I can't find a way into the Gear S2 appstore to look for a similar app on Tizen. Thanks!
TaskS2
Really roundabout way but the watch has tasker integration with the app TaskS2. A quick google search says its possible to control wink via tasker. Other option is use the tasker autoremote plugin to control wink via ifttt. I've got no problems controlling my nest with the tasker app

Looks like that's the best option. Having looked at the way the Wink shortcuts work on Android wear, I feel like the Tasker approach will actually be better than the wink shortcuts themselves... Thanks for the help! Just ordered my Gear S2 with the $100 off deal on Adorama.

I needed to control my Hub as well and found a very simple app called Wearable Widget. Simply download the Play store app for your device and then the companion app from the Samsung store. It allows you to control any widget from your watch including The Wink Hub.

Awesome! I was actually having some reliability issues with Tasker. The task would execute fine when I activated it with my phone, but when I activated it with my watch it'd get stuck halfway through. This app looks great. Thanks for the response!
I have a rooted Pixel and was wondering if there is a mod to turn up the volume on all alerts, ringtones and while watch movies. The alerts are really low and I cant hear them sometimes.
you could try tasker (or any other automation app) to automate the process.
set it so that when you open the app for movies, it will automatically set your alerts to the desired volume
