Android Wear support
Would be super-cool to be able to toggle http post requests from an android wear watch. Especially for IOT applications. What do you think? Please add it :D, since you app works good.
I agree that this would be an awesome addition, and you are not the first person to bring this suggestion to me. I will see how much effort it would be to add wearable support, though with my current time-management I can make no promises.
In my spare time I've been doing something similar to http-shortcuts, then I saw this project sharing my smae thoughts. :) Anyway +1 for the wear support.
@marksev1 You mean the one running on the smartwatch? Not yet. Pretty busy in this period :/ but we should consider a branch of this project, for the android watch. I'd buy a watch just for this :)
I don't have a watch myself and also don't have access to one anywhere, so this one is quite difficult to do for me. Thus, unfortunately, I currently cannot work on this. Should I get my hands on one, however, plus a bit of spare time, I will look into it. As always, no promises.
Is emulator not sufficient? Than later beta-testers with watches could try out..
That is true, for most of the development the emulator would suffice. But I like to try out my work myself ;).
Unfortunately, I don't really have an update here. I have looked into this at some point and come to the conclusion that it would be significantly more work to develop, QA and publish such a feature than I am willing or able to put into this at the current time. On top of that, I still don't have a smartwatch myself so I would be limited in testing this and in evaluating whether it provides the value and quality that I would like. I completely agree that it would be a great addition to the app and would have a lot of good uses, but it won't happen in the near future unless I receive help from someone on this topic.
Although most people would prefer a standalone app, I think a simpler solution would be to create a companion app that uses MessageClient API to communicate with the phone via Bluetooth.
That way you could develop a simple WearOS app to request the list of shortcuts from the phone app and list them on the watch app. Pressing an item would then send a message to the phone to trigger and execute the shortcut and return the resulting payload back to the watch for display.
See From Wrist to Hand: Develop a Companion App for Your Wearable Application for details. I think both apps need to have the same package name to communicate with each other, see WearableListenerService onMessageReceived is not called on device.
I also found another app that does something similar (triggering actions from watch) called WakeOnLan.
