How to connect your Pokit device to your Android smartwatch

  1. Open the Pokit App on your phone and connect your Pokit device
  2. Enter Multimeter mode and leave your phone switched on
  3. Open the Pokit Wear OS App on your Android smartwatch

Here are some further points about how the Pokit Wear OS App works:

  • Your Pokit device does NOT connect directly to your Android smartwatch.
  • You will need to keep the Pokit App open on your phone.
  • The Pokit App on your phone transfers the Multimeter view from your phone to your Android smartwatch.
  • Currently, the Pokit Wear OS App only displays Multimeter mode. It does not display Oscilloscope and Logger modes.
  • To change the Multimeter measurement Mode, you must make the change on your phone, which will change the measurement Mode on your smartwatch.

In-app warnings

  • The Wear OS app will display ‘Device disconnected’ if you are measuring in Multimeter mode and your Pokit device is disconnected for whatever reason. Usually this will be if the Pokit device’s battery is low or if your phone is out of range.
  • The Wear OS app will display ‘App disconnected’ if your Android smartwatch cannot connect to your phone (e.g. Pokit app is closed or minimised, phone is turned off, Bluetooth is turned off).
  • Reminder that only Multimeter mode is displayable on the Wear OS app currently.
  • If any screen other than Multimeter mode is open on the Pokit mobile app (e.g. Devices, Oscilloscope, Logger), the Wear OS app will not display any values.

    Hi David Gerritsen,

    I can see that the Samsung SM-R800 runs on Tizen OS, not Wear OS. Currently, the Android Pokit smartwatch app is compatible with Wear OS. We are looking to develop the smartwatch app on more OSs in the new year.

    Hi DIEGO FERNANDEZ NIETO, the Pokit smartwatch app is only compatible with Apple Watch and Android smartwatches that use WearOS.
