Description

**Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.**

Getting up to find the remote or shouting to Google Hubs is annoying when it can be done quickly from the watch on your wrist.

**Describe the solution you'd like**

I need a quick way of controlling my TV and 7 shortcuts simply isn't enough. Ideally I need aleast on, off, activity 1, activity 2, volume up, volume down, next chan, previous chan, pause/resume, up, down, right, left, select.

The best would be a scalable solution where you'd get a different setup depending on how many shortcuts you choose. But I'd be happy with selecting a 7-shortcut tile or a 15-shortcut tile.

Preferably a nicer way than today to edit which slot gets which shortcut. In this app you can tap icons to reassign them: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freepoc.weartilelauncher

**Describe alternatives you've considered, if any**

Multiple tiles are cumbersome when one could be enough. There used to be an app called Harmony Wear Pro that synced with Harmony Hub. It hasn't been updated for quite some time and has now been removed from Play store. Also, it only controls Harmony stuff. Screenshot below is from that app.

**Additional context**

I think 15 circles would still be big enough for most fingers. Here is a site generating circles within circles: http://hydra.nat.uni-magdeburg.de/packing/cci/cci15.html
