HttpClient for WearOS is a revolutionary application designed specifically for smartwatches on the Wear OS platform, enabling users to send HTTP GET requests effortlessly. This app not only enhances the functionality of your smartwatch but also opens a pathway to interact with home automation systems, allowing you to manage smart appliances at your convenience.

Key Features:

• Hierarchical Organization of Endpoints: Organize your HTTP requests in a structured manner, providing a seamless browsing experience on your smartwatch. You can create custom names for these requests, making them easily identifiable.

• Extensive Use Cases: While primarily developed for home automation, the app’s flexibility makes it suitable for various other applications. Whether you want to manage lighting, control heating systems, or interact with any service accessible via HTTP requests, HttpClient has you covered.

How It Works

The app requires an Endpoints Definition in a simple textual format, allowing you to define your HTTP requests clearly. Below is a sample structure:

- all,All
-- off,Office
--- shut_opn,Open shutter,/shut/office/open
--- shut_cls,Close shutter,/shut/office/close
-- liv,Living Room
--- l_on,Lights on,https://192.168.8.1/light/liv/on
-- kit,Kitchen

In this format, hierarchy is indicated by dashes, separating unique identifiers, human-friendly names, and the request URLs.

Configuration Simplified

HttpClient fetches the Endpoints Definition using an Endpoints base URL, which you configure in the app's settings. The app automatically appends the necessary path to ensure the requests are directed properly. Notably, the JSON response must be configured to communicate effectively with your smartwatch.

Interaction Made Easy

Once set up, you can navigate through your defined endpoints with ease. The application displays your requests in a user-friendly interface, and with a simple tap, you can execute commands. If a request returns a status of 200 and the appropriate content type, the response is showcased clearly on your watch screen.
