I'm surprised that there is hardly any talk about smartwatches on the forum and I wonder whether this is because the Smartwatch hype is only just starting or because anyone who has a smartwatch knows that you can easily control your squeezebox devices via the media control that, I think, all smartwatches include.
Now, let me mention that I did my research and, yes, 'there is an android app that works an android wear devices' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?103030-Android-Wear-support-Is-Squeeze-Control-the-only-app-so-far). And 'there is one for the Sony Smartwatch' (http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98314-Announce-Sony-SmartWatch-app-for-Squeezebox-%28SqueezeWatch%29). So maybe everyone with an Android Wear watch just gets the Squeezecontrol app and everything is fine? But what about the other 4 or 5 Squeezebox apps out there? And what about the Apple Watch? And what about the Samsung Gear S2, which runs on Tizen? (This is where my personal interest lies!). According to 'this video' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WW8hvXjx1xc), it is possible to control Google Play just by using the media controls on the Tizen watch (and I assume that Spotify will work the same way). But that will just make your phone play musik. What we want is not to control the phone as a music player but to control the phone as a remote (Ideally, of course, the watch would connect directly to LMS, but that would obviously require a proper app). Anyone out there who can say what works and what doesn't with Tizen? And to the developers: what are your thoughts on making your apps smatwatch compatible/ creating a native smartwatch app?
