As expected, this Motorola device also has a hidden LED, mostly used to indicate dead battery when there is not enough of a charge to turn the screen on.
It's not multicolor, unfortunately. Just white.
After poking around, the correct path to control the LED functions is:
/sys/class/leds/charging/
Typing:
# echo 1 > /sys/class/leds/charging/breath
Causes the LED to pulse.
# echo 0 > /sys/class/leds/charging/breath
Disables the LED.
So we have a straightforward trigger in enabling the LED that is not dependent on the device being plugged in.
Gonna work on tasker scripts to enable the LED toggling for notifications.

Thanks for the insight!
I wasn't even going to check for an LED on this device as many don't have it anymore.

Simple and powerfull apk to TURN ON the screen in AUTO MODE:
Examples:
when you open the cover of your device,it should always TURN ON the screen, right?
when you take it out from your pocket/bag, the same, why do you have to push a button to TURN ON the screen?
simply bypassing your hand above it when the SCREEN is OFF
.... your imagination usage it is the limit(fliping it to turn ON,...)
It is based on PROXIMITY SENSOR mainly, and with an special algorithm to avoid FALSE PROXIMITY SENSOR changes, specially when inside pockets or bags(That is why it has a 1 second delay ;])
But if your device has also a LIGHT SENSOR you can also use it to improve acurracy to almost 99% when your device is inside your pockect or bag, avoiding falses PROXIMITY SENSOR changes an so saving your precious battery!!!
AUTO ON only works when you SCREEN is OFF!!so also save some precious battery!!! and do not intercept with Calls!!!
Due to so many diferents SENSOR TYPES on devices, the SENSOR RESPONSE maybe to slow, so a VIBRATE OPTION is include on the settings and it is very useful to "feel"the first times how your SENSOR works.
As with aZephyr, there is aINFINITE version(This Demo version is limited to 100 uses), so if you like it, and your SENSOR works as expected you can pay me a beer for my job ;]
Happy New Year
Is there a way to disable sleep or standby mode on the sw2? I like how android wear is always on and I want that. I realize battery life will suffer but I just want to look at my watch to see it without having to turn it on.
Thanks

You can... What do you mean?

I would also be interested in this. Standby is too dim for my liking.
SW2 is alway ON with transflective mode (monochome) . Standby only when no movement so never when you wear it.
It have a mode with light ON and display color when press power or tap the case.

Yeah I'd like something similar where the watch was lit all the time without press, but I guess it's not possible.
It is always like picture 2.
It light up like picture 1 when press power or tap the watch. It is not possible to stay in mode light without drain the batterie in a few hours, maybe 8 hours.
But some app/watchface (the old and those for SW1) can stay in mode light.

Beta on the Play Store
What does it do?
It acts as a sleep timer for the Netflix app, putting it to sleep after a set period of time.
How does it work?
It works by initially lowering the volume and brightness of your display, so you don't get awoken by the sudden silence if you're using it at night. It then closes the Netflix app, puts your display to sleep (by changing the display timeout to it's lowest setting), then puts all your settings (volume etc) back to their original values. Job done.
Why does it need permission to modify system settings?
Two reasons:
It needs this permission to be able lower the screens brightness to gently sleep the Netflix app.
To turn your device off afterwards, the technical choices were either a, set the timeout to the lowest level and let the device put itself to sleep, or b, request device admin permissions to allow the app to manually turn off your screen... I don't know about you but I'm not too keen on giving apps admin access to my device
Known issues
There is currently no way to interrupt the app, so if it triggers at the set time, you just have to wait for it to finish - This will be resolved in the next release.
Just found out the app beta didn't actually publish so no one could download it ??
My bad.. It's up now (link in OP) ?

Two questions regarding "turn on screen for notifications" functionality on stock firmware OOS 11.0.8.12.KB05BA
In setting Display - Ambient display there is a 'New notifications' option, this option works only with Horizon Light
Is there a possibility to wake screen for notifications, but without color stripes on the sides?
Using search in settings you can find 'Wake screen for notifications' option.
Even if 'Ambient display' in setting is OFF, 'Wake screen for notifications' option can be turned ON, but screen doesn't wakes for new notifications.
Is it "an old" menu option that developers forgot to delete or am I missing some options to make it work?
My goal is to find a way to turn screen on for new notifications without fancy Horizon Light effects.
I'm using an app called Wake Up Screen and it works perfectly for me.

thank for your suggestion
for now I've decided to stick with aodNotify
it doesn't wake up the screen, but does a much better job (in my case) - emulates LED-light that I was missing so much
at first, while setting up this app, it's on top in statistic draining battery, but the next day it disappears from the list
