Ability to send custom notifications

[marcozer]

That would be really great ton be able to send custom notifications to the watch, for test purpose but also for productivity as well : for instance, sending a todo list on the watch to get it stored the whole day would be awesome and quite trivial to implement as far as I understand (an automatic notifications in sent to the device on first connections, and there’s no need to use Apple proprietary tools).

This was done with GadgetBridge while linked to an android device :

Thanks in advance

Good idea, and yes that's definitely doable!

I'm assuming you mean a text field that you type into, press a button, and then send the text as an arbitrary notification to the watch?

This is exactly what I mean !

I have also succeeded to send a custom notification from a linux desktop running Amazfish :
dbus-send --session --print-reply --dest=uk.co.piggz.amazfish /application uk.co.piggz.amazfish.sendAlert string:'' string:'FIRST LINE' string:'NOTIFICATION_TEXT' boolean:true

Awesome, that should be no problem! I've already got a function set up for sending notifications for the "iOS Connected!" notification, so I can connect that to a text box pretty easily for sending arbitrary notifications.

I've got a couple other things I'm working on adding right now, but I'll add this to the 0.9.0 milestone and should have it implemented soon.

Thanks again for the suggestion!

This has been implemented in the commit I just pushed! Expect this feature in the 0.9.0 release, coming soon.
