Automation and Tasker support

Ultimate Watch has support for 2-way automation using Tasker and other automation apps  such as Locale, AutomateIt etc:

• Automate different tasks in Ultimate Watch
• 3 text variables that can be set using e.g. Tasker and displayed on the the watch face 
• Use tap shortcuts on the watch to initiate Tasker actions

By using the open API that Ultimate Watch provides you can with a few easy steps open up an endless amount of possibilites. Only your imagination sets the limit.

Examples of things you can do:

• Change colors of watch face every x hours
• Display SMS automatically in the Notes dial when an SMS arrives.
• Show stock information or latest football results automaticlly in the Notes dial
• Make a remote control with Tasker for your TV/Blueray/Stereo and  control it from the watch
• When arriving to office you can automatically enable current meeting information, appointment summary, time zone, appointment rings on the watch face.  
• Create presets with different configuration settings  and store them as shortcuts on the desktop.
• Set a dimmer color after sunset to make the watch face less bright. Good for those watches that don't have  an ambient light sensor 
• Enable higher heart rate measurement frequency and step counter and distance walked dials automatically when going for a power walk.

API description

INTENTS

You use Android Intents to control Ultimate Watch. Many automation apps such as Tasker, Local and AutomateIt have support for sending Intents.

This is how you set up an   Android Intent action using Tasker to change the 3 dials on the watch face to Weather, Appointments and Current Events:

• Create a new action and name it so you know what it does
• Press the + button to create a new action category
• Choose System and then Send Intent
• Enter net.stefano.stefanoface.SETTINGS as action name
• Enter dials:5,2,4 in the Extra field
• Save and your done

You can now send the intent directly from Tasker by pressing the right triangle button. Even better you can create a profile that automatically sends the Intent when certain conditons are fulfilled. You can also store the action as a shortcut on the phone desktop.
