Question about google now on wear - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have an android wear watch, huawei watch, is there a way to get commands taken by google now on the watch passed to your phone? On my phone i can use google now voice commands to change the temperature on my nest thermostat, when I try the same command on my watch I just get google search results. I also have multiple tasker tasks set to run from google now commands, through auto voice. is there a way to use those same commands on my watch, have it pass the command to my phone, and have my phone run the task?
Thanks in advance!

How to Refresh Google Now feed using tasker without using touch commands

I have setup a tasker task I can trigger via commandr via the watch to refresh google now's feed (this way I can get bus times in MN via the watch since they don't show up automatically) I have to use touch commands because I don't know how to do it any other way. Is there another way?

can't control nest with Android wear

just got a zenwatch this week and I can't figure how to control my nest with it. I've got the google now integration turned on, and when I tell my phone to "set the temperature to 70 degrees" it changes it, but when I tell my watch it just brings up web results. am I missing something?
nobody has an answer?
could be that the android wear commands aren't being fed to google now on the phone.
if you are on kitkat, try using xposed, google now api and autovoice to send android wear commands to google now on the phone.
latest google now api can be found here:

when setting up my home automation system, i could not get voice commands via android wear to trigger events; commands via the phone worked fine. the above is what worked and is why i'm not upgrading to lollipop just yet (no xposed support for ART).
only option right now that i know of to feed android wear commands to google now on the phone on lollipop is via autowear and autovoice. works, but requires a few extra steps (as oppose to just "ok google, close garage door").
thanks, I've got 5.0.1. it just seems odd that there's no integration

Voice controle, not working together with the phone?

Hi,
I own a LG smart watch and an nexus 5X, but i don't feel like they are working 100% together. For instance, i set the language on my phone to my native language (danish) , yet the watch only takes commands in English. Also, if i talk to the watch, and decide to look on my phone, i see the phone also registered the "ok google" sentence, and is trying to understand me in danish. So what i get whenever i say "ok google" is a watch that listens for commands in English, and a phone that simultaneously wants to take commands in danish.
Is there any way to make them work more together on this?

Voice assistant

Hello.I have p9 lite vns-l31 with lineage os 14.1 installed.My question is : is there anything for android like siri on ios.And i know there are a lot of assistants but i need one which can be activated when the phone is locked by voice,for example when im driving and want to call someone or send a text
Well of course your best bet is the Google Assistant. It is the only one that is truly integrated in the system and the Google apps.
All that you have listed is basically possible with the Google Assistant.
However, your point with the locked device is a question of hardware, not software!
In order to activate the Assistant by saying a hotword while the device is LOCKED requires a phone with a special microphone.
Such device have low consumption microphones.
You could compare it to the Double Tap to Wake function: most device do not support it because they do not have the proper kernel / touchscreen for it.
A device that allows you to activate a voice command while locked always has to listen to its surroundings. While it is possible with modification to enable it on most devices, it will definitely consume a lot of battery on devices that are not built for this function.
Therefore, the Google Assistant is "Google's Siri" and works very well as long as you manually activate your screen first. There are tutorials out there on how to enable "OK, Google" recognition on locked devices but I do not know if they work on Lin OS already.
I hope this answers your question.

The P9s have Emy, their own assistant, that works without touching it even with screen locked. It also has a "where are you" function if you yell for it.

TXZ and Toppal

Can anyone enlighten me on how TXZ and Toppal Service as found on some head units go together and exactly what they do? I know that Toppal is classed as 'Artificial Intelligence' by the sellers, and TXZ is started by Toppal ( Toppal goes under another name from a different seller). I believe TXZ is a text-to-speech app or something like, but 'TTS Tool' doesn't find it, only finds Google text-to-speech. There are very few references to TXZ found by a Google search other than utilities to work with files that have a .txz extension, which is nothing to do with this app.
So I deleted all of those apps but from what I have found the txz app was just to make top appear as an overlay and added the ability to click him to open a quick access voice prompt then the toppal apps just do most the hard work I guess but in reality I just deleted both of them and installed Google assistant has will do all the same stuff and has better voice recognition.

Please. How did you uninstall TXZ? On my headunit it is a system app. My headunit is new. ADB and rooting do not work.
