Moved to standalone Wear app model
Changed Voice Activity to recognize voice without the need for manually accepting the voice command

Made commands that start with http:// or https:// call the URLs directly from the watch, allowing you to call simple HTTP APIs (like Join) directly from the watch
Added persistent AutoWear notification on the watch so that the service doesn’t get killed all the time

added device selector in the main app: for people who were having connection issues, please try manually selecting your device there
tried to fix connectivity issues. Connections and disconnections from the watch will now be received with a 5 second delay to avoid quick connections and disconnections
fixed other connection related issues

made option to buy app available while you’re in trial mode
bug fixes

AutoWear is nearing its final release. If you can find any outstanding bugs please report them to me so I can take a look and hopefully fix them. Thanks 🙂
This release behaves like the final one license wise, so you’ll need to purchase it or use the trial to use it. Please let me know if there are any issues with the licensing.
made reacting to quick events much much faster. Before if you sent 2 commands, the AutoWear event would trigger with like 1 second difference, now it’s practically instant.
Added achievements
Added options to enable and disable AutoWear elements. Disabled elements will not react to commands
Added <brightnessmode> and <keepscreenon> AutoWear variables
bugfixes

Added Battery low state to “AutoWear State” Tasker condition
option for swipe left to delete screen disabled by default
Support AutoWear variables in notification text
Send local only command &CONNECTED& so stuff can react to it on watch
Voice screen sends local command so you can react to it on watch
added animation option to screens, so you can decide how they slide in (left, right, top or bottom)

Tried to make the shaking trigger less accidentally. Let me know how it works now. You may have to set your shake value a bit lower now.
AutoWear now returns errors in the %errmsg variable, when an action ends in error.
fixed states not behaving consistently
hide all now doesn’t delete screens
Revamped messaging protocol to make it more stable

notifications can now be managed from the main phone app and shown/hidden/deleted with watch commands. In the video I’m creating it with a swipe up of the icon and hiding it with a swipe down.
fix variable replacement on custom notification screen
Color picker lets you choose transparency level
Floating icon from wizard can now be managed
html can now detect <br/>
