DJI Watch Remote (Wear OS)

Control your DJI Action camera from your Wear OS watch (tested mainly with Samsung Watch6 Classic + DJI Action 6).

This app is designed for real use on the watch, with a simple connect screen and a large control screen for quick actions.

What This App Can Do

• Find nearby DJI BLE cameras
• Connect to the selected camera
• Show camera status in a readable watch UI
• Start/stop video recording
• Trigger photo capture
• Switch between video and photo modes
• Put camera to sleep
• Show useful live info:
  • recording timer (video mode)
  • photo counter (photo mode)
  • battery %
  • remaining time/photos
  • main capture settings
  • camera temperature state

Current Limitations

• This is an unofficial project (not an official DJI app/SDK product).
• Camera behavior can vary by firmware version.
• BLE reliability depends on environment (distance, interference, watch battery saver, etc.).
• After camera sleep, manual camera start may be required (wake behavior is device/firmware dependent).
• No media browsing/downloading from camera.
• No cloud sync or phone companion workflow.
