According to my wifi monitor Automateit has been transferring 400Mb in the background. WTH?

Also 1500+ requests to send information has been captured.

Seriously, WTH!
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
That does sound strange and there is no reason for the app to do that. Can you say if that's foreground or background requests?

The main thing that may cause network traffic is the Rules Market but to get to 400M you need to have an insane amount of time browsing through the app...
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
You may be required to update your BusyBox and SU binaries.

Since Lollipop there have been a few changes that require an updated SU binaries to properly work and that is required for the GPS action.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Can you say (or attach a screenshot) of the actions you run with the rule?

Is there any chance that you use the "Set Brightness Action"?
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Since the "AND" trigger is contained in an "OR" trigger, it is displayed as OU; but when you look at the content of that line you see the description of the "AND" trigger.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
After further investigation on the issue, seems like some LG devices cannot support that function (the setting described in the FAQ page does not exist on LG devices). The FAQ has been updated accordingly.
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
Yes, I set it to automatic.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
And if you remove that action, does it still keep launching?
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
Bingo :good: No more rolling line ! And application now triggers only one :)
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Great. And thanks for the quick response.

We'll look into it and see how this can be fixed.

[Android Apps and Games] ebsbow:
Downloaded according the Wifi monitor(Fairly alarmed by the amount)

Foreground: 397MB ..?

Background: 40MB

Firewall intercepted 1500+ requests which are made by the Automateit app and

is, by fare, the highest count of requests by any app I encountered. Even google apps

don't make that many.

I'm not using or browsing the Rules Market and have an simple setup on the device.

Minor tasks. And this app shouldn't make any internet connection without user controle if

you ask me.

Obviously I'm using a firewall.

Been waiting for this for a long time and since there hasn't been any talk of it... A GSM/WCDMA/LTE switch(action) would be great, for example; when my phone connects to home WiFi, mobile data turns off. It would be nice if we could also switch to GSM only, for example. And when you went outside it would turn mobile data back on and switched to WCDMA only, GSM preferred, LTE or just any of the available options.

Any thoughts on this and is this even doable?
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
This feature has been requested by many users but seems like there is no way to do that. This is not supported by Android.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
You can use the AutomateIt Camera Plugin
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
A fix for that has been implemented and already included in the current Beta version so it will be included in the next official update.

I would like to purchase this app but am concerned that it can't do what I need.

I set up my Galaxy S6 edge to automatically set itself to DND mode at 11 every night and off DND at 8 the following morning. This basically shuts off notifications but still allows phone calls to come through which is what I want. However sometimes I stay up later or go to bed earlier. The ideal scenario is to go to DND when I place it on my charger when I go to bed since I always charge it overnight. So Automateit seemed like the ideal solution.

The rule I'd like to set up is that if I connect to the charger and the time is between 10PM and 8AM then set notifications volume to 0. However, it doesn't seem to be able to check a time range. Is this possible?

As far as I can tell a time trigger can only be set at a specific, fixed time which defeats the whole purpose of this rule. I need this flexibility since I don't want DND if I'm still awake.
[Android Apps and Games] klingklang76:
You can set a rule to be always active or to be activated / inactivated by a trigger. In your case, you would set up a rule to change your volumes whenever you connect the charger, and configure it to be activated at 10pm and inactivated at 8am. So between 8am and 10pm connecting the charger would have no effect on your notification sounds :)

Ps: of course you also have to set up a similar rule to set your sound profile back to normal when, for example, you disconnect the charger within a certain time range

recently updated my rom and automateit can no longer enable mobile data - it can disable it fine.

Rom: MIUI v6 (5.5.22), android 4.4.2 (updated from MIUI v5 android 4.4.4)

Busybox 1.23.2

Automateit has root via SuperSU.

Any ideas?

########## EDIT #########

so tried with fresh ROM install to see if any other apps were conflicting/preventing. same problem; tried MacroDroid and that fails to toggle mobile data also.

[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
That's one way to look at it :)

You could also say (and I'm not taking sides here...) that they don't want applications to enable it without user explicit action...

Hi Muzikant, as a big fan I just want to say it would be great to see more from your twitter account than official releases. Any ideas going in your head, progress reports, update teasers, those sorts of things I enjoy reading very much :)
[Android Apps and Games] hakatu:
@Muzikant I've bought pro version recently and now I'm trying to figure how to use several location triggers at once to handle WiFi.

Currently I have 3 locations and I'm moving between them. There is a WiFi network in each of them. I've set up 3 pair of scripts (entering/leaving) and they kinda works, but exiting/leaving scripts triggers all the time and disconnects my from other networks. For eg.:

I'm leaving location A. After some time, when I'm on the way, AutomateIt disables WiFi. I'm arriving at location B, some time passes and AutomateIt detects this location and enables WiFi. Everything would be ok, but then leaving trigger for location A fires and disables my WiFi.

Any advice, how to solve this?
[Android Apps and Games] Dunc001:
I am trying to set a 'Face Down, screen off' rule on my HD2 and am not having any luck. Firstly I wanted to make a composite trigger (Accelerometer Face Down, Proximity Sensor Near) but it won't allow me to have two sensor triggers in a composite? And secondly with using only the Accelerometer trigger set to 0.5 sec and a delayed trigger of 3 sec I can turn my phone over and I see the toast popup saying 'Face Down Screen Off...' but then the screen doesn't switch off. Is there a known issue with the enable screen lock on the HD2?

Also, I tried to get the auto speakerphone on/off rules to work using the triggers and actions listed on your website and again they didn't seem to work - speaker never activated?
[Android Apps and Games] Arielo1:
dont get me wrong here i LOVE this app and i do no compare it to tasker it is much MUCH more user friendly

but

it eats so much more ram compared to other automation apps anyway to fix this ?

and this app is a true WINNER !

Multiple SMTP settings!

Is it possible to switch automatically from smtp-settings for different e-mailaccounts when changing from Wifi<->3G<->Wifi ?

i.e.

When connected to Wifi use smtp settings : smtp.server1.com

When connected to 3G use smtp settings : smtp.server2.com

And that for more than 1 e-mailaccount.

Thanks for the info!
[Android Apps and Games] turbo-omena:
You could try making a composite AND trigger that contains a face down trigger and a composite OR trigger that only has a proximity sensor near trigger. Muzikant gave me this hint when I was struggling to get another composite trigger to work.

I'm also having this kind of an issue with my DZ. The screen lock doesn't seem to kick in immediately when the action is triggered. It would be great to get this working.
[Android Apps and Games] Dunc001:
Thanks for the tip, and glad it's not just me having 'screen off' issues ;)
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
All of the quoted posts above relate to the same issue - Currently, you can't have more than one trigger of each type in a Composite AND Trigger and this was to avoid all kinds of weird triggers such as "Battery is above 90% AND Battery is below 50%" which will never trigger. Obviously this is only a single example but you could do it with almost every trigger...

With that said, I understand the need for having more than one trigger of the same type (Location, Sensor and probably a few more) and the workaround mentioned by turbo-omena will work for only two instances of the same trigger type and is an UGLY solution (Yes, I know I'm the one suggested it...), So next update will ALLOW you to create a Composite AND Trigger with multiple instances of the same type, but will show a popup message to warn you that you should verify that they don't collide.

As for the Enable/Disable Screen Lock Action - This action does not turn the screen on or off. It disables or enables the lock slide/password/pattern/pin when the user turns the screen on. When enabling lock - the slider/pattern/etc will be displayed and when it is disabled, there won't be any slider/pattern/etc when screen is turned on.

I have the exact same rule defined on my device (and several other devices) and as far as I know it works perfectly. Please notice that it will only activate the speaker during call. If that still doesn't work, please check the "Include debug info in log" checkbox on the Settings screen and send me an email using the "Help !" button on the About screen just after you expect the rule to trigger so I can take a look at it.
[Android Apps and Games] turbo-omena:
I'm trying to make a rule that would enable lock screen when the phone disconnects from my home wifi and disable it when the phone gets connected again. I have setup wifi network connection state trigger (disconnected) for enable screen lock action. Now when I walk out of the range of my home wifi and press the power button there is no lock screen. Still I can see that the rule was triggered like it should.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Are you using another app or widget for enabling/disabling screen lock?
[Android Apps and Games] ldx00:
I've found a bit of a bug. Details below

Basically what I want to do is to have the phone

- Go to Normal (Default) profile when I plug in my headphones and

- Go to Silent profile when I unplug my headphones

This is because the phone, annoyingly, will not ring through the speaker or even the headphones when a call comes in and the headphones are plugged in... Anyway, what I find is that because of the way the "Silent with vibrate" and "Silent without vibrate" options are available, it leads to some odd behaviour.

My triggers are set up as below:

Headphone unplug action is set default sound mode

Headphone plug in action is set silent with vibrate

All of this works fine, HOWEVER, the issue comes when I exit silent mode by pressing the volume up button, now the Vibrate option in Settings > Sound says "Only in silent mode". An easy fix for this would be to just allow enabling of the Silent profile without fiddling with the vibrate setting I think. Please please fix this, as I basically downloaded your app to do this one thing and I can't live with it turning off vibrate. I have to say though that I have found many other uses for it since (eg turning on my GPS when I turn on maps, turning on my Wifi when I get home etc). Anyway, it's great, keep up the good work!!

I'm running Cyanogenmod 7 based Hyperdroid (A NAND ROM with Android version 2.3.4) on an HD2
[Android Apps and Games] turbo-omena:
No, I'm using the enable screen lock action in AutomateIT. I don't currently have any other screen lock controlling app installed.

Now that I've tested it more, it seems like the screen lock kicks in after turning the display off and on again.
[Android Apps and Games] hakatu:
But I have three different rules and I'm not using Composite Trigger in them. I'm only using single Location trigger in each, but they seems to interfere. My 'Arrive at work' turns WiFi radio on correctly when I'm coming to work but after a while 'Leaving home, turn wifi off' triggers and turns WiFi radio off. And it just flips between those two.

I kinda solved this by removing all of "Location exiting rules" and replaced them with single rule "If WiFi is disconnected, the turn it off" every 15 minutes. Then, I have my three rules "If arriving or inside a 2000m radius, then turn WiFi on" every 30 minutes.
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I have done extensive testing with WiFi status triggers and when the screen is off there can be a delay in Android setting a new WiFi status. In my experience the delay can be as long as 5 minutes. However if the screen is on, there is no delay. I am using AutomateIt to do the exact same thing you're doing, and my trigger is: Wifi Network Connection State Trigger > Connection State = Disconnected. Are you using Disconnecting or another state? Or are you using the Wifi State Trigger?
[Android Apps and Games] turbo-omena:
Yeah, I have also noticed that delay but that's not a problem for me. I use the same trigger as you're using with Disconnected state. I also have same setup as you have (HTC Vision + CM 7 nightlies). Does it work properly for you? When you walk out and turn the screen on, is the screen lock immediately active?
[Android Apps and Games] Zalien:
That's why I'm suggesting examining the possibility to add actions to deal with the state of the screen itself, regardless of the screen-lock state.

I know it should be possible because I already have a few widget toggles, one of which is for toggling the lock and another for turning the screen off, and that latter works whether the lock is enabled or not (I usually have it disabled on my DHD). The only thing I really need is to be able to wake the screen again without having to push the power button every single time. I'm not sure if Taskr can do that, but I'm not planning to get anywhere near that app anyhow. :p
[Android Apps and Games] c00ller:
I actually have a composite action going on. When I disconnect from my home network, I have it turn off WiFi. Then I have another rule for when WiFi is turned off, enable screen lock. I'm actually not sure why I have it set up like this :P I usually check my phone 3-5 minutes after I leave home, and when I do that the lock screen is on and my WiFi is turned off.

In fact, sometimes when I manually turn WiFi off, the lock screen will immediately turn on over my current screen.
[Android Apps and Games] turbo-omena:
Ok, thanks for information. It's weird that it's not working like that for me. If I have the display on and I turn off my wireless router, I get notification that rule 'screen lock ON' triggered but the lock screen is not shown until I turn off the screen by pressing the power button and turn it on again. The same thing happens if the display is off when the rule triggers - I need to turn on/off/on again the display to activate the lock screen.

I have very few rules set, and none of them use GPS or anything heavy. I have enabled debug logging and then attached zip contains about 30 minutes or so from this evening (although I don't know how much use it will be as there haven't been any rules run) and a csv export of the rules I have set.

Please can you have a look and let me know what other info you need from me to trace the problem.

Hi all,

I have a Galaxy S 6 and noticed a couple weeks ago that in bright sunlight, the screen goes way brighter than even the brightest manual display level. The display brightness has to be in Auto or manual at 100% for this to work. This is awesome! I'd love to have this turned on like this when driving (during the day). It doesn't seem that there is control for this "hyper bright" mode, but it seems to me that if an app or plugin could override the light sensor data, this is a done deal. Any ideas?

Hello friends.

I've been struggling with this problem on and off ever since I first started using automateit two years ago, over three different phones and many, many roms:

It turns out that sometimes after a reboot, the widgets that execute or toggle my rules disappear from my launcher. They are still there (I can move them on my homescreen), but they are invisible and do nothing when pressed.

My only course of action is to drag the invisible icons to the X in the launcher so they are removed, and then re create them, which is really annoying.

Since this doesn't happen every time I reboot, I can't reproduce it on demand and haven't found a pattern to it.

Do anyone else's rule widgets just disappear from your launcher sometimes?
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
I think it is ROM related. I had that in the past, when I used HTC.

Is anyone experiencing problems with licence verification for the Pro version of AutomateIt?

I purchased it yesterday and it's regularly complained that it cannot verify my licence ever since. Once it does so, it starts displaying ads and disables Pro features.

I've tried a few things, but nothing seems to solve this issue:

- Rebooting. This reverts the app to the Pro version, but after a few hours the notification complaining about the licence reappears and I'm back to square one.

- Uninstall and reinstall of the app. Again, this works for a few hours.

- Clearing data of the Play Store. Again, only a temporary fix.

This happens on wifi and mobile data connections. I'm using the purchasing profile on the same (non rooted) device I purchased the app on. No other apps that I've purchased are malfunctioning in this way.

I forwarded my order receipt to the support address as the app suggests, but in the meantime has anyone that has encountered this issue managed to solve it?

Edit: Hmm. It did it again, but I didn't have time to reboot as I was in the middle of something. When I checked again, the Pro features were working again without me doing anything.

How often is the licence verified? I get the error several times a day. This seems excessive to me. Shouldn't the licence verification status be cached and checked every few days or something? The regular breaking of the app disables rules that use composite conditions, which basically makes it much less useful to me as they cannot be trusted to work when needed.

Any suggestions or assistance would be much appreciated.
