Foxtel IQ remote for apple watch

HI folks, I Recently purchased a apple watch and am wondering is there any apps you can download to use your watch as a Foxtel IQ HD remote?Would be nice not having to fumble for the remote anymore every time the phone rings, also the ir blaster seems to be on its way out I need to be really close to the box for it to work. Play buttons shot too so it would really come in handy using my watch instead. I noticed something called peel Pronto which apparently can do this but I don't think it's in Australia yet. The apps on the U.S. App Store but not on the au one. Not to mention good old Google keeps giving me irrelevant crap when I try search for it. Thanks!

iPhone 4, iOS 5.1.1

Thanks for the response. I see there's a roomie app which runs on the watch but it requires WIFI. If I had my iPhone on my AirPort Extreme network via wifi and my foxtell on the network via Ethernet i should be able to use the roomie app to control foxtell shouldn't I? Might be able to do it that way instead of waiting for a ir hardware and app.
