WearOS app for Lucid Motors' vehicles

I use a Garmin too, so let me know if you do!

In case you missed, I made something!

I've got a suuuper alpha level version of the app for Garmin up if anyone is crazy enough to try it. It works on my Venu3 and Pixel 10 Pro. The watch part compiles for the Venu1X and Fenix7 but I haven't been able to get the simulator working yet (I'll try again later) so I don't even know if it runs in the simulator let alone a real watch.

Obviously this is a "self-build and sideload" kind of deal at the moment, and this initial version:
a) Looks terrible - no real 'icons' just green text
b) Phone App: Can lock, unlock, and turn climate on/off (21C/70F only) and shows the SoC and charge...

Thank you!!! I'll give it a go as soon as I get my car back

I agree it's a great idea, but if there are folks having issues with the key fobs, phone app, and the card, there'll be situations where adding the watch app on top of the 3 still won't eliminate the problem...

The fob and the card work through a different mechanism than the watch app.
If the car and the watch both have internet connectivity, the WearOS app will work.

In the case of my Garmin app, the watch can't make the connection directly, so the watch has to be in range of the phone (or A phone that it's paired to), and the phone has to have Internet connectivity, and the car has to have Internet connectivity. And Lucid's API service has to be up and working.

Not the ideal but it seems to work so far and it's there as a last ditch option if locked the phone/fob in the car and don't have the key card.

It just dawned on me that these watch apps will be a super handy option for the folks who keep complaining that the car locks with the key/phone left in the car.

As long as your phone is still on and has cell service, problem solved.

Bluetooth is all that should be needed?
Watch Bluetooth to phone
Phone Bluetooth to car?
