Currently it is not possible to have any form of navigation in wear os. If you have more than 50+ entities that you like to control, shortcut tiles are of no real help since it would require 8+ tiles to get basic control of those entites, and smartwatches often limit the amount of tiles you can add to 10, meaning you have at most 2 tiles remaining. The wearOS app itself also isn’t really helpful. If you have 200+ entities, you can set 50 as your favorites, but scrolling through 50 entities is really slow on the watch.
You should be able to configure some sort of navigation (similar to lovelace) that can be used by wearOS. This configuration should be systemwide, similar to how your lovelace configuration is systemwide. Otherwise you would have to reconfigure everything for everyone who gets a smartwatch in your household and everytime you reset either your phone or your watch. If you have complicated configuration, it shouldn’t be necessary to redo the whole configuration everytime a new smartwatch is registered in your system.
The configuration could be based on some .yaml files, where you configure the contents of a screen simply by configuring the items that should be shown:
wear_tile.tv:
items:
switch.tv-back
switch.tv-up
switch.tv-ok
switch.tv-left
switch.tv-right
switch.tv-settings
switch.tv-down
name: TV
icon: mdi-tv
In that case, it should also be possible to add other wear_tiles to the items of a wear_tile. Then you can simply select a main-tile from where you start the navigation, and can select any entity you like in a few clicks. This would increase usability for wearOS drastically for anyone with a lot of entities that they like to control from their watch.
The configuration could also be similar to lovelace or implemented in any other way that seems reasonable.
