Hey everyone, I wanted to share my experience developing a Gear Watch app for SmartThings. It all started when I got my SmartThings starter kit and noticed there was no app for my Gear S2. As a software developer, I thought, why not give it a shot?The journey has been quite an adventure. I started by setting up a web service to handle the communication between the watch and my home devices. The initial setup was smooth, but integrating all the sensors and devices was a challenge. I remember struggling with getting the motion sensor data to trigger the right actions in my home setup.One of the coolest parts has been experimenting with the watch’s built-in sensors. My wife suggested using temperature and heart rate data during workouts to adjust the thermostat, which I’m really excited to implement. It’s amazing how personal data can enhance home automation!Currently, the app controls switches, sensors, and even an Arduino-connected LED. I’ve been logging the date and time when the LED triggers, which has been super helpful for debugging. The next step is to improve the GUI and add mode switching and routines.I’d love to hear from anyone who’s worked on similar projects or has ideas for new features. Let’s make this app even better together!
