How can I forward notifications from an unpaired device? - Wear OS Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Android Wear pairs with only 1 device, but I have both an Android Phone and Tablet and would like to get notifications from both. I have my wear device paired with my phone, but there are notifications on my tablet that I would also like to somehow get on the watch. Is there an app that can mirror notifications across devices? I've tried Pushbullet but it only mirrors from device to computer and not from device to device.

I use Pushbullet.

Connect watch to phone and tablet (not simultaneously)?

I'll be buying my first Android Wear watch soon (a Huawei Watch) and I have a question... Is it possible to pair android wear to two device, like a phone and a tablet, and then set one as the preferred device? I know you can't connect to two devices simultaneously, but this is what I would like to do: Pair the watch to my phone and my tablet, and set the phone as the preferred device to connect to. Then, anytime my phone is within Bluetooth range the watch will automatically connect to it, but if I walk away from my phone and I have my tablet with me, the watch will automatically connect to the tablet. But also, since my phone is the preferred device, if I walk back in range of my phone the watch should then automatically switch back to the phone (even if it was still connected to the tablet). The reason I'd like to be able to do this is because I always have one of the devices with me at all times, either the phone or tablet, but I don't always have both with me.

Issue connecting to YoCam device (wifi issue?) with 6P, other android devices connect

So my YoCam camera arrived, and excited to receive my new kickstarter toy, I tried to connect it to my phone following the basic instructions.
Phone sees and connects to the device via wireless, but the app refuses to connect. However using other android phones will allow me to connect to the camera, using exactly the same process., so it does not appear at least at a basic level, an android or an app issue.
Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions, or can suggest some troubleshooting tools so i can get a better view of what is going on.
Thanks
Hi, Not that this helps: I have exactly the same but on a Samsung Note 3 running cyanogenmod 6.0.1. When connecting to my Samsung tab S2 with standard Android no problem.
Are you running a alternative rom on your phone or standard?

Wear 2.0 vs iPhone 7: Location doesn't work in weather apps?

I can't figure out where to begin.
I've got a Fossil Q Founder 2.0 w/Android Wear 2.0.0.152767911, connected to an iPhone 7 running iOS 10.2.1 and Android Wear 2.3.19.
Connectivity has always been flaky. Sometimes I need to force-kill the app on the phone and restart. Sometimes the watch says it's disconnected, but it's still getting message and such. Sometimes the watch doesn't want to connect to the house Wifi.
But now, and I think simultaneous with the upgrade to Wear 2.0, the default Weather app doesn't work.
It says it Could Not Determine Location (and this while it says it IS connected to the phone.)
I installed AccuWeather from the Play Store. Same deal.
Where do I start looking?
Everywhere I've thought to look for "allow app to access location info", it's already been yes.
I have the same problem with the weather location.
I'm on Huawei Watch and iPhone 7 Plus.
I cannot keep my watch connected to my 6s Plus for anything...I've tried numerous resets of the phone and the watch, everything is peachy for like an hour, then it disconnects on the watch and the phone. Reconnecting doesn't seem to help
IPhone 7/Huawei Watch. Android Wear 2.0. Wifi and bluetooth stable. Everything seem ok. Weather is working.
Anyone figure this out yet?

Reboot the watch from my phone?

I've got two smart watches, one is a standard watch. The other is a medical device I wear under a shirt.
Is anyone aware of a way to restart the medical wear device via my phone either with an app, Tasker or any other way?
I'd have to target the right watch, but honestly if it was a general reboot both connected devices. That's not the end of the world.
Thanks in advance, this has had me scratching my head for a while. If it's through a console, how would I get Tasker to open/type/run via a task?

Fossil Gen 5 no internet tethered from Wear OS

My Fossil Gen 5 running Wear OS 2.26 does not get an internet connection tethered from the Wear OS app on the Android phone. It is always connected to the Wear OS app on the phone via Bluetooth, sync always working and all notifications get routed to the watch but all apps on the watch that require an internet connection (Google Play Store, Assistant, Shazam, Alexa.....etc) do not work unless I enable Wifi on the watch to any Wifi access point.
My old Huawei Watch 2 was always internet connected via the Bluetooth connection to the Wear OS app. Can anyone please help with a fix?
