How it works

Since I am not a developper, I decided to use Tasker to automate a big part of what this assistant does. You can see the Tasker profile in the Wear_Assistant.tasker.xml. That's why there a two apps: one is to communicate with the watch, the other is to make all the more "complex" tasks. While that is slightly inconvenient for the end user, it is easier for developpers to implement more features: the "communication" app only contains a few receiving intents and only one sending intent. So it might be easy to download the tasker project and add a new feature without really coding.
