Hey all, got the new byd app update for my phone today, check the app sub menu and they have added the option for 'smartwatch app' and gives you the option to install the byd app in your smartwatch first, open the app in the watch scan the qr code and allows to add access features etc using the watch nfc, pretty cool and working good. Unfortunately it only allows you to install only for one of the cars at a time and need to redo the process of you want to add the other. Hence for that I kept my smart watch for one car and the nfc key card access for the other BYD and both works very well.

I don't think the smartwatch app is yet available for Garmin watches...

CarlSPC1 2026-02-13 13:04

It says it's supported for Samsung watches

Dark_84 2026-02-13 13:06

Yes I found it! Ty

Where did the you find the app for Samsung watches? I can't seem to find it in any app stores.

Dark_84 2026-02-13 13:19

In playstore search "BYD", you'll see a box with some like "my device", open it, select the watch, then you'll see watch app.

Got it, thanks! Totally missed the 'this device' drop down.

I thought it was a Garmin watch in the photos and was really happy for a moment there

Don't know how to break it to you, but it looks like your car is missing from your driveway! At least the thieves can only go 554km...

I was able to enable it, thanks!! How do you use the smartwatch nfc though? I haven't been able to figure that out. I've only used it before with ny cellphone

HieronymusLudo7 2026-02-13 16:46

Seems like a lot of hassle I don't want to go through, but I appreciate the suggestion!

What features are available on the smartwatch app? Can you turn on seat heating etc?

Where do I find the integration for Homeassistent? I only find BYD HVS/HMS/LVS Battery in HACS

BYD forces me to use Samsung Wallet for the key while everything is on my Google Wallet. To use Samsung Wallet on my watch I'd have to set it to the default, so I just use Google Wallet on my watch. My phone will allow me to use Samsung Wallet for the car key alongside Google for payment cards. You can unlock with the BYD watch app but I don't believe that will have this digital key as that would still be on your Wallet app

Need to add the digital key to your watch. It’s separate to the app.

sween64 2026-02-14 00:19

Status page: state, SOC, and range Page 2: unlock, lock and beep horn Page 3: AC on or off, temp control Page 4: app info That’s for iOS. I assume others or similar. No seat controls.

MasiosareGutierritos 2026-02-14 00:44

Is that in Samsung wallet? I don't see an option to add the byd key

sween64 2026-02-14 01:10

Possibly. I’m using iOS.

Objective_Cat_8373 2026-02-14 05:28

That's great! Thank you

HieronymusLudo7 2026-02-14 09:57

Yes exactly, I'd have to start from scratch... Been looking it up, but for now I think I will pass on doing this.
