Title: control media center from pebble watch (proof of concept)
Post by: mhwlng on December 28, 2013, 09:47:05 am

See picture (pebble watch next to media center remote control web application running on android nexus 7 ) ..

This is just a proof of concept to control media center from a pebble watch (right now, with very limited functionality).

I used an existing VLC remote control watch application from https://github.com/Neal/pebble-vlc-remote  (pebble with SDK2 firmware)

I made a simple proxy server to convert from VLC web service format (JSON) to MCWS web service format (XML)
so that I didn't have to modify the watch application.

I'm still experimenting to see if this is actually useful and if it's feasible to add more functionality and perhaps connect to MCWS directly from the watch (actually from javascript running on the phone)
