Interact with Smartwatch

General Discussion

Hi, there is a possibility to use a smarwatch (android,android wear, watchOS, tizen) for interact with Ignition and/or MES?

Thank’s

One way is to develop a web interface using our WebDev Module, and access the project using a web browser on the smart watch. Note that not all smart watches may have a web browser available.

Another way would be to develop a native app for the watch which can send HTTP requests to Ignition, again configuring the backed scripts using the WebDev module.

Hi,

On smartphone its working. Do you know whats missing?

Viktor,

The Apple Watch OS does not implement a Java Runtime, so there is no possible way for you to run an Ignition project on it.
What @adam.morales was referring to was to have either:
1- A web browser request data from Ignition via a REST endpoint (using Ignition’s WEBDEV module)
2- Build a native Apple Watch OS app that would request data from Ignition (again, via Ignition’s WEBDEV module)

Cheers,

Oscar.
