    Requirements
    - Android Phone
    - Tasker
    - Zooper Widget
    - Some basic knowlegde about files/tasker/zooper widget is nice to have.

    Installation
    ---General---
    1: Extract all of the files on your phone, somewhere on the SD.
    ---Tasker---
    2: Import the Profile XML into tasker: Go to the main screen, long click on the tab for Profile, and import.
    3: Go to the TASK tab, open the OVMS task and change the first 3 variables to suit your car.
    EnterYourCarIdHere: Car ID used in OVMS
    EnterOVMSServerUserHere: Your OVMS Server Username
    EnterOVMSServerPassHere: Your OVMS Server Password
    Note: the password is not sent to anything else than the OVMS sever, through a HTTPS connection. You can check the tasker task for yourself to be extra sure in case you're paranoid.
    Note2: DO NOT CHANGE ANYTHING ELSE OR IT WILL STOP WORKING.
    4: Optional: test run the profile/task to see if everything was configured right.
    ---Zooper Widget---
    5: Go to the ZW files in your file explorer.
    6: Once you click them, and open with Zooper Widget, a dialog for importing the template will show up. Give it a name.

    7: Hit the desktop, select a 4x2 Zooper widget, and place the new template wherever you like.
    8: Enjoy!

    hi all,

    I got an LG G Watch R yesterday and started playing around... anyone interested in a clockface for Android Wear, featuring some Roadster data?
    Here's a Roadster-dashboard styled clock, including a car-battery indicator. Tasker feeds the watch with information from OVMS.

    And since I like real-life watches, I made a quick and dirty modification to this Panerai watchface, adding a small dial on the right, showing my battery is currently at 50%

    Is there any need/interest for watchfaces like this?

    Yes, there is. You need to enter your OVMS profile name, the one you use to log in to openvehicles.com

    After seeing this, I want to buy a Sony Smartwatch 3. But I have some Q's before running to the store..


    • My phones are, and will be Windows Phone in the future. So the watch can not rely on the OS of my phone. This also means, I have no app available for OVMS, so using TXT for now..
    • Mobile data connection would be via Wi-Fi thetering or Bluetooth. I hope the watch can wake up the internet sharing on the phone.

    So, if someone tells me I can use the widget with this setup, I know what to buy today :)

    The widget will not be functioning on Windows Phone...
    But I can help you with this to be able to get the right data by using the OVMS API calls, which aren't that hard.
