I have the GWA2 and the SmartThings app installed on the watch. Is there a voice command that would allow Bixby to turn on/off a light in SmartThings?
I tried "Turn off nightstand" and got the response to the effect of it could not make that connection. I then tried to run a scene I set up with "Run Nightstand Off". This started activity tracking for running.

Hi,
anyone using tasker to change configuration on the watch and/or on the phone?
Watch and phone are rooted.
My first idea is to automate the display brightness setting by day/time.
Another idea would be, using the custom kernel, to modify the colors to simulate a sundown mode like I use on the phone via cflumen.
With this I think I could dim the watch in the dock too.
And when the watch is on AC (in the dock), the phone should be set to not mute notifications.
If you haven't tried yet, Autowear Tasker plugin is almost what you want... but keep in mind to work through Tasker because you don't have the option to backup Autowear actions running on watch.
I change the brightness of my watch with AutoWear and Tasker. Works perfect.
You need Wear Shell. There are posts there of how to use Tasker Intentsl
http://forum.xda-developers.com/android-wear/development/app-wearshell-t2902242
And a thread on Wear Shell + Tasker recipes.

I use it to make watch bright when I disconnect from home or work wifi, and dim when I connect.

I also have it set to activate theater mode when I start my sleep tracker.

Is there anyway to get the theatre mode double press shortcut back? Having to pulldown and tap a small menu button is really bothering me.
Also tripple press for brightnes boost not working.
A must have on a sunny day.

I really miss the single tap waking the screen and putting it back into ambient mode. It allowed for turning my screen on and off without causing finger prints or possibility of undetected touch due to dry fingers. Palming the screen to turn off/enable ambient mode, used to intermittently result in onscreen actions being pressed like starting my stopwatch, or even worse stopping my stopwatch after I had just started it. I must have used single press of the button 100x per day. Now I have to actually wait for my screen to turn itself off. This alone has to half the battery life on the watch.
Double tap button for cinema mode was also a nice feature but I only do it once per day at night to save power so enabling through the swipe down menu isn't a big deal for me.
Worse is the three tap to turn on max brightness temporary. Today outdoor i Couldn't see my watch screen. Not seeing it also makes it impossible to enter brightness menu to increase brightness. I start to get more and more annoyed by 2.0 ?

I haven't tried it yet, but I saw this app, Wear Button Remapper, recommended on Reddit.
It says it can remap your button long press to any app, or to theater mode if your watch is rooted.
There are a ton of things that are frustrating, but I have figured out a way to cope with most of it.
For Do Not Disturb Sync, there is an app that restores this functionality.

For theater mode, I setup a tasker task using autowear to run an app that allows toggling theater mode.
https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidWear/comments/64qitr/toggle_theater_mode_on_wear_20/
I'm guessing that wear button remapper would allow us to enable theater mode without root using this app.
It's great that devs have developed apps to remap long press. Hopefully it won't be long before they can map double and triple tap to let us use the 1.5 theater and max brightness modes again.

Whoa!! You DO Rule!
This is soooo frickin' awesome, I am just thrilled. I finally got one of the automatons I missed on AW 1.5 with Wear Shell. It took me a couple tries to get the task set. I use Sleep as Android and it supports Tasker but it would not trigger this app adding it to my existing profile, but just setting Toggle Theater Mode to run when Sleep runs did the trick!

Yeah, there does seem to be some sort of glitch with the tasker autowear integration. I'm not sure what it is, but it seems to run the same autowear task even if you reconfigure it in tasker. The fix seems to delete the task and create a new one with a different name.
I use minimal and elegant as my watch face and was able to use the interactive functions to run the tasker task. I now have a button on the watch face that allows quick access to sleep tracking that enables do not disturb and theater mode.
You have to use SleepWear for the app name instead of start sleep tracking which makes it a little more difficult. Any ideas on how to find the app package name on wear?

I just made a second task that triggers on the Sleep app starting, so I have two tasks - one runs on the Sleep Start intent and the other to trigger your app via Auto Wear. It works great. If I do open the Sleep app during the day then I do get theater mode, but I'm fine with that to get the night time auto start. :good:
In an adb shell:
Code:
pm list packages -f
I can even pipe it through grep or more on my linux box which is good.
edit -
Code:
[email protected]:~$ adb shell
sturgeon:/ $ pm list packages -f | grep urbandroid
package:/data/app/com.urbandroid.sleep-2/base.apk=com.urbandroid.sleep
I have my new S9 on T-Mobile, and really like it. However, I keep getting notifications that the "app power monitor" has terminated sleeping processes. This sounds like something that Samsung is doing to "enhance" my Android experience *smile*. I'd really rather just use the native Android OS, rather than some Samsung monitoring facility that's most likely using more battery than it's saving. Is there a way to turn off the "app power monitor"? I looked for an app with that name and didn't find it, so they've probably got an app with a different name doing this.
I've already turned off the annoying notifications using the "Device Maintenance" settings tab -> Battery -> Advanced settings -> Notifications, but I assume that doesn't turn off the functionality. Nice not to have the notifications, but I'd really like to kill the whole thing *smile*.
Does anyone out there know how to turn off the "app power monitor" app/functionality?
Thanks!
Update: I believe that I've answered my own question. Now that I've turned off the notifications from the app power monitor, I believe that has also turned off the app power monitor itself. When I go into "Device Maintenance" -> "Battery", I now see the "App Power Monitor" section has been collapsed to a single setting to "Turn on" the app power monitor. So, oddly enough, turning off the notification for the app power monitor also turns off the functionality. These are usually orthogonal, notification settings and functionality, but in this case not so much.
Next time you get the notification, swipe right on it, tap the gear icon, scroll down and turn off "Apps consuming battery"
Looking for an application for Gear S3 that can put phone and watch on silent/Mute quickly.
Preferably an application that can also be set watch and phone on silent for a period of time and then automatically activate the volume again on both devices.
Not 100 percent sure, but think maybe bixby routines.. but when you use do not disturb, you can choose for how long, and then it enables sound after that time.
Maybe not quickly but automatically, You can do this with the "Do Not Disturb" functionality. You set the time to start & stop & it will mute both your phone & watch.
You can also allow exceptions like an alarm or calls from specific contacts.

Agree, "Do Not Disturb" is what I use for similar actions...
Hello I created a Bixby routine to be launched by pressing the side button on my Samsung S20 (Fine Lock with Routine+ allows this), and it launches great.
But when editing the routine, the "Finished" section is missing so I cant define a timeout and revert the action.
Im using the routine to Enable NFC (to make a physical phone payment in store) so I want it to be disabled after 5 minutes for battery saving and also security.
For some reason I can only invoke the NFC toggle once in the Bixby routine, after that it disappears from the actions list. So I can't add a timer and then disable NFC as it's no longer available.
Can anyone help me workaround this limitation? Is it possible to open a bug/feature request with Good Lock team? Thanks
