WatchDuino phone companion app

This is a companion app to be used with a WatchDuino 2 smartwatch.

It allows Bluetooth pairing of the phone and the WatchDuino device, so notifications can flow between the two.

At present the companion app includes a background service, and a debugging interface that you can use to trigger and inspect messages between the devices.

The companion app is written on top of the Apache Cordova framework.

This project is currently a work in progress in a very alpha state, so expect drastic changes without warning.
