We're proud to announce that we've officially our Apple Watch App along with its Gesture Recognition features! This article is dedicated to helping you guys get this feature up and running with your helmet and/or Firefly lights.
How to install and activate Apple Watch turn signal gestures?
Simply head on over to the Apple App Store and install the Ride Lumos App. You'll automatically have the LumosWatch App installed on your watch:
NOTE: If this doesn't install automatically, go to Watch > Available Apps > Install.
Then you're all set! Open up the App on your Apple Watch then simply click on Start and you'll be able to start using the gestures.
Here are the demo videos for the gestures:
If you wear the Apple Watch on your left hand
If you wear the Apple Watch on your right hand:
The gesture recognition function is fully compatible with any Apple Watch as long as they're running watchOS version 9 or higher. NOTE: Please be aware that at the moment, this feature is not available on Android Wear devices. The reason for this is that the wide range of variations in Android Wear devices poses a significant challenge. Given our team's current capacity, it's not viable for us to extend the gesture recognition capability to other operating systems.

Hi Kavin
Can you please add the Lumos Firefly to the Beta program to take advantage of Apple Watch turn gestures
Agree!
My Apple Watch tells me there is no app named LumosWatch in the AppStore
Get the beta version above. It works.
I followed the instructions. I signed up as a beta tester. I still can't download LumosWatch from the Watch App Store - I am told there is no such app
If you have not found the Lumos Watch app in the app store, it is because you have not taken part in the beta. To do so, you have to install the Testflight app (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/testflight/id899247664) from the app store with your iPhone connected to the Apple Watch. then with your iPhone enter this link: https://testflight.apple.com/join/czixVNyD
If you have automatic downloads on your Apple Watch Lumos Watch will automatically be installed after you have taken part in the beta and installed the beta version of Ride Lumos (for iPhone).
I can only seem to get the gestures to work in my home. Whenever I’m out on the road it doesn’t work.
Do I need to have the phone app open as well? Only thing I can think of.
