The iOS companion app that makes your Pebble smartwatch even smarter!
Smartwatch+ is the perfect companion app for your Pebble smart watch. It enhances the experience with your Pebble smart watch and provides a lot of additional functionality.
Smartwatch+ allows you to display additional information on your watch, such as weather, your iPhone's battery status, current stock and Bitcoin prices, your current GPS location, your latest calendar appointments, as well as reminders. Additionally, you can control certain functions of your phone from the watch, such as taking pictures, controlling the music volume, playing a sound to find your phone, and sending HTTP requests for home automation, etc.. The watchapps that are required to view the information on the Pebble can be installed from within this app.
Smartwatch+ also supports the httpebble protocol, which lets you use all httpebble-enabled watch apps.
Smartwatch+ is available for iOS devices (running iOS 6.0 and newer) through the Apple App Store.
Smartwatch+ uses different screens to display data on the Pebble watch and to interact with an iPhone. The screens can be accessed through a menu on the Pebble watch using a custom watch app. The iPhone app lets you configure the number and order of screens to adjust it to your individual needs. All screens that display data are automatically updated at user-defined intervals.
SmartStatus is technically a screen as well, but it acts a little bit different in the sense that it's not part of the regular menu. Instead it is its own watch app and provides the iPhone's battery status, as well as the current weather, your next calendar appointment and the currently playing music info together with the time in a glance-able watch face.
Currently, there are 11 screens available in Smartwatch+:
This screen is called SmartStatus and displays current weather conditions, temperature (in °C or °F) and iPhone battery status alongside your next calendar appointment and the currently playing song information.
SmartStatus is special in the sense that it's not part of Smartwatch+' menu structure, but instead runs inside its own watch app. This separation allows for it to be open-sourced and easily replaced by different user-created implementations. Click here for more information about SmartStatus.
