Hi, does anyone know if there is any information about what communication protocol is used between Android wear watches and Android phones? I'm working on developing a wearable device and we already have notifications working with iOS devices via Bluetooth LE by using ANCS. We would like to achieve the same with Android phones and as there are already a number of Android wear watches out there, I presume there is a Bluetooth protocol defined by google that is being used between them that we could implement, rather than having to come up with our own custom protocol?
Hello, any news on this? I would like to fake the Android-wearOS connection once the phone is out of range with another BLE device.

Hi all,
Mabe you know Garmin Fenix outdoor GPS watch. It has Bluetooth 4 LE. In latest firmware 4.40, its posiible to use this watch like smartwatch (notifications etc). The only one problem is that it works only with Iphone. But i realized i can normally with no problems connect from my LG G2 kitkat android.
My question is, does anybody know, if its possible to make app for managing this smartwatch functions with andoid? I would like to code this app, but if here is anybody more experienced than me, please tell me if its possible or it isnt. Or maybe some hints where to start.
My idea is that if i have paired device, i can normally use android bluetooth api.

This is not relevant to Android Wear. Please consider moving the post to the general forums, or forums specific to this watch. I suspect you will have better success there.
I have an embedded system using a Bluegiga Bluetooth chip and a PIC processor. I want to establish a connection directly with a Smart watch so that I can post text messages from my embedded application directly onto the Smart watch screen. In essence, the Smart watch would act as a "console" for the embedded system.
I can't seem to find an appropriate SDK that will allow me to do this (i.e. develop an app on the Smart watch). Bluetooth transmissions are always encased within a message wrapper that must be generated on a paired and supported smartphone. What I want to do is interface directly to the Bluetooth chip on the Smart watch (bypassing the smartphone), and connect/transmit/receive to my embedded system directly via Bluetooth SPP (Serial Port Protocol).
Does anyone know of a Smart watch SDK that would allow me to do this?
I don't care about the brand of Smart watch. Only that it is really exists and can be purchased, and that it has an SDK that supports direct Bluetooth communication.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
I am finding my wear watch to be a great concept but ultimately flawed due to the reliance on the phone.
E.g. is it possible to access the internet/LAN though other bluetooth devices/
Hello Guys
I am working on a small onboardcomputer for my motorcycle. It shall display some information about the engine and motorcycle in general.
First I planned on developping custom hardware with custom written firmware. The hardware base would have been an ATmega32 with a normal BLE SoC (Blue Nano, for whoever it knows)
However, today a friend brought the idea up if I wouldn't want to realize it on top of android wear, as an app for it.
Of course, this would have several advantages:
1) Other android wear apps would be available too, for example routing, or the remote control over music etc.
2) My "Board Computer" would simply be an app, what is easier to maintain than custom built firmware (think about flashing etc).
3) Solid Base
However, I coulnd't find any informations about running android wear on other hardware than you buy it with.
For example I looked if I can find a tutorial about how to run android wear on a Odroid C1 (which can run the normal Android) but coulnd't find any answers.
Why is that?

It doesn't seem like wear is much more efficient than android. Also, as much as you can do without your phone, there is still a need to pair it with your phone....
What kind of bike do you have? Does it have any sort of OBD equivalent?
Hey
Sorry, it took me a long time to reply.
Well, there doesn't seem to be a way to install Android wear on custom hardware anyway, so the plan is dead (I don't want it to be a hack, there should be a official, reliable way to obtain the software).
Yes, the bike has an ODB-like BUS (it isn't "real" ODB, but some sort of it. I can read some parameters out of it, but normal ODB Libraries aren't compatible with it).
So, what I'd like to to with my boardcomputer is the following (less important things in brackets).
The computer should be paired with the phone over bluetooth, so the smartphone can stay in the pocket
Control the music player of the smartphone
Show a map with the actual position
(Show navigation data, so with routing and everything)
The idea to use android wear was because it supports some of this without big hacks.
And I don't want to reinvent the wheel

Why not just use another phone? Maybe even a custom mount for your current phone.
I am pretty sure you can control an android device with another android device. You can defiantly pull internet from one android to another via wifi hotspot. You could have all your music on it as well. You can find a cheap waterproof phone and custom mount it with a little fiberglass. This mount would even be removable. Anyway PM me if you want to talk about this further. I can help find all the apps you need.
Hello,
I want to help a friend with continuous glucose monitoring. His pomp hardware has bluetooth and it is possible to connect it to phone. But only a few phones are compatible - Iphones and a few models of Samsung. When you don't have a compatible phone application displays error.
So, I edited build.prop and application works but I can't find CGM device. I wonder why. What is a difference in bluetooth module in samsung and one plus 5? Or maybe do you know other reason why OP5 can't find this device?
BTW, here is an app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/...l&rdid=com.medtronic.diabetes.guardianconnect
