Really?! Read the question again....i want to activate only when condition is met...example when BT is on...i was looking for a script code or something like that...
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
Well if you would have been more clear on what you wanted, you might have got your answer. But since you decided to be a smartass in your reply...you can get your answer from someone else.
[Android Apps and Games] movrshakr:
Wow. I love reading a thread with such nice, helpful people.

These last few sure make one hesitate to ask ANYTHING, especially if English might not be your first language.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Not sure that I got what you are trying to do, but if I understand correctly you are trying to launch the Google voice recognition screen as an action (if not, please provide more details).

If so, you can probably use the "Launch Intent Action" to launch an activity with action android.intent.action.VOICE_COMMAND.

You can read more on the Launch Intent Action at this link:

[Android Apps and Games] snapdesign:
Thank you! Thats what i was looking for...
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
No problem.

Just out of curiosity - Can you share the rule you were trying to build? What trigger did you use?
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
Muzikant :o Any comments :confused:
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Sure.

1. Press "Back" this will get you back to the trigger selction list

2. Not sure I got it. can you re-attach the screenshot? what do you mean by "impossible to select anything"?

3. We are working on a new/improved design for editing composite triggers/actions that would make it a lot easier. In the meantime, you can either use landscape mode or have nested composite triggers (add a composite trigger as a sub-trigger of a composite trigger will create a new row that you can use).
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
Thanks for your answers.

Regarding point 2 ;

I have difficulties to "select" the line with an "AND" to modify it.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
You don't need to select the line with the "AND". If you want to remove/edit the Wifi trigger, just select it.
[Android Apps and Games] snapdesign:
Well it's good but i want something else...i want to activate Ok google in any screen when BT is ON.

I want to use it in my car, when i'm connected to BT for calling... you know... Ok google, call Dad...

I think i need another intent... i will do a google search when i have the time... thanks anyway

I need another advice... i want change data to 2G when screen is off and data enabled... i think i need to use intent action... can someone help? thanks
[Android Apps and Games] spupuz:
probably someone already posted, but there will be a material design ui?
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Most likely the device reboots before getting the chance to write it to the history log.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Switching to 2G is not supported with AutomateIt and there is no intent that you can use for that with the Launch Intent Action.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
The last few updates included several UI adjustments. Most likely there will be some changes but not a complete redesign of the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
New version - New Composite Trigger/Action editor

Following requests from users (especially on this thread), we have redesigned the Composite Trigger/Action editor to allow more flexibility when building your rules, allow easier editing of existing triggers/actions and solve the problem of editing composite triggers/actions with many contained triggers/actions.

As you can see on the attached screenshots, instead of using the previous small icons in the composite editor toolbar, you now have a scrollable list of triggers/actions that you can see what each one of them does in a glance without having to select it, and you can reorganize the items order by clicking the organize button on the Composite Action editor (The button near the "Add item" button).

This is included in the latest release that was just uploaded to the Play Store (Version 3.0.115 (Free) or 4.0.115(Pro)).
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
Cool, it´s really more easy to read/design rules. :good:

May I repeat an old question ... When screen is off, and a rule is fired, the screen switch on :cyclops: Any way to prevent this ?
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
This shouldn't happen with most actions.

With set Screen Brightness or Set Screen timeout (and maybe a few others) this makes sense that the screen would be turned on. Can you say which actions are executed?
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
It seems that's actions related to wifi state. And also "on the road".
[Android Apps and Games] reddvilzz:
So there won't be any implementation to change network state to 2g / 3g? Or is it a way?Kinda need that as well :).
[Android Apps and Games] reddvilzz:
Is there anyway I can set a timer for certain rules to be active?
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:

[Android Apps and Games] mobisat:
Hi Guys,

I used to use the "Trigger " app for my automated tasks. I have just installed the Automateit Pro app and have made new versions of the tasks that I used to use with Trigger. I have one small problem and that is with NFC tags. In my car I have two adhesive NFC tags on my dashboard that I used to use to launch two separate tasks.

Tag one - Turn off Wi-Fi, Turn on Bluetooth to link phone to cars audio system for telephone calls and set phone volumes

Tag two - Turn off Wi-Fi, Turn on Bluetooth to link phone to cars audio system for telephone calls, set phone volumes, brightness and start Sat Nav app

The problem I have is that with Trigger you could assign two lots of tasks to the one NFC tag. First time it sees the tag it uses first set of commands, next time it sees it uses the second set and so on. My second set of commands were to reverse the first (the Sat Nav app I just exited manually). Is this possible or will I need to use a third tag (return phone to normal commands) to get by this?

Thanks in advance.

automateit pro as JD ultimate alternative

Hi,

Its really a nice app & purchased pro version. I want to use it as Juice Defender Ultimate alternative. The main thing I want that is, it will on data for specific time interval & sync the mail & IM. How to do that properly? I tried that but that is not good could seniors guide me how to do that in a very good way that I dont miss any situations. i.e. time interval is 30mins in day time, 6PM-1AM 1hours data on & sync on for 2~3mins get sync, then data off (if good amount of data transfer is transferring then wait until finished the data transfer) and 1AM-8AM data off & sync off.

Hope this idea will help others to automate their phone!!!
[Android Apps and Games] mobisat:
Another question regarding NFC tags, is there a way to assign a tag to Automateit app as every time I scan the tag it say what would you like to open the tag with there isn't an option to remember this, or can something be written to the tag so that it knows to auto use Automateit?
[Android Apps and Games] picklu:
Updated to latest version: its really awesome!!! In previous version app was consuming at least 74MB and again when I was using chrome that climbed to more then 100MB but now that is fixed and its using only 15MB max!!! which is great!!! :good:

[Android Apps and Games] oilfighter:
Is there a way to enable the "Location" settings on/off? (Or enable "battery saving" in locations?)

I can turn the GPS on/off just fine, but I usually like to turn the location service off entirely. If the location setting is off, and automateIT turns the GPS on, it defaults to "GPS only". It's a problem for Google Maps, because now it takes forever to lock on if I'm indoors (if it even locks on at all).
[Android Apps and Games] rkuijpers:
You can use Secure Settings from Play Store, and create shortcuts in AutomateIt to the settings you need to enable/disable.

For some of the shortcuts you'd need to purchase the Pro license for Secure Settings though.

But I can tell you from my own personal experience that it does work! [emoji106]

I for example have made shortcuts for disabling background data and location services, all working perfectly in AutomateIt.
[Android Apps and Games] oilfighter:
Wow, that worked perfectly! Exactly what I wanted. I'm surprised that AutomateIT (with root) doesn't have this option.

For those that wants to do this:

install "Secure Setting" from play store

In Secure Setting, enable System+

In automateIT, open the rule you want to edit, go to the "Action" pane, selection "Run shortcut", secure setting, System+, and you'll find the options to set which location mode you want.
[Android Apps and Games] rkuijpers:
Always pleased to "wow" someone [emoji6]

But seriously, I see XDA as a playground. You play around, learn, and share your knowledge with others.

So when I saw your question I thought: dude, you've got the answer (for once), so share that infinite wisdom [emoji1]

Many more settings are available through Secure Settings in combination with AutomateIt, those two are a must-have combo in my opinion [emoji106]

Android Calendar Appointment: Wake me up and play a sound untill my calendar shows!

Wake me up, Automate it Pro, and show today's appointments right away!

in my calendar I use an appointment.

Automate it Pro triggers when the event starts, sounding an alarm.

Ultimately I want the alarm to stop when i (either shake the device or ) start my calendar app.

Stopping the alarm-sound coming out of my android is a challenge upon itself, but if in some way I can "action" or "trigger" the sound to stop that would enable me to do the trick.
[Android Apps and Games] richardsoffice:
Would like a Missed-Call, periodic repeating alert.

I have been trying myself but have been frustrated that I cannot engineer a Missed-Call repeating alert. I had set a Call state as the trigger, launching a separate Rule for the repeating sound action, then to disable the action I have tried many variations using Composite ‘Any’ of Activity, Screen On, Sensor trigger. However nothing actually reliably disables this except for any triggers that I then find do not launch reliably.

Has anyone else had any success with this?

[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Sounds like a very useful setting!

can you share these rules to the rules market and post links to them on this thread?
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
This is caused by latest changes made by Google that no longer allows this to be toggled (Up until KitKat this was done using an unofficial way that is no longer available).

See this link to bug report filed to Google on that matter, that was closed as “Working as intended” by the Android team.

From Lollipop onward, this action will only be supported on rooted devices.
[Android Apps and Games] paulyz:
but this https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.cygery.toggledata&hl=en work (it's turn off/on data).

Now I did, what automateit control it and everything works, only additional app need to install.
[Android Apps and Games] rkuijpers:
I'd like to, but as I used a rule from the market as base, it doesn't let me upload it. I understand such rules are needed to keep the market clean, but I guess a lot of improvements aren't making it into the market because of it?

[Android Apps and Games] GrimPivo:
I need to make 4 location-based rules:

- Came out of the house

- Enter the office

- Came out of the office

- Entered the house

How can I make it right?

At the moment, sometimes rules doesn't work properly, e.g. in my house "came out of the office" starts, sometimes in the office "entered the office" didn't starts...

Some screenshots:
[Android Apps and Games] rkuijpers:
As far as I can tell by your rules, you're using GPS for determining your location, right?

That means whenever your phone can't get a strong GPS signal, your rules won't work at that moment. In house or in office, your GPS signal probably won't be very strong either. In addition to that, GPS can eat your battery, maybe even more than leaving wifi on without a wifi connection.

Try adding location rules for cell tower or wifi.

Or, make rules depending on being connected to your wifi at home and office, in combination with timer rules.

Most people have schedules for being at the office, for example between 9 am and 5 pm.

There are definitely some rules available on the market that you can work with, maybe with a little tweaking to your needs. Good luck! [emoji106]
[Android Apps and Games] GrimPivo:
I'll try, thanks.

Another newbie questions :)

1) how to insert a pause between actions?

2) I created rule for my car with two apps start actions: radio and navigation. Nav app starts successfully, but another app, radio, start only after nav app closed. Why is that?
[Android Apps and Games] rkuijpers:
1) as far as I know, inserting a pause between actions inside a rule, is not possible. Solution: make 2 separate rules, same trigger, different actions. Second action you give a pause before starting.

In theory this should work, but it is a workaround.

Maybe the dev can look into adding the option of inserting pauses between actions inside a rule.

2) I don't know, something might be wrong in your rule. Or maybe your phone can't use navigation and radio at the same time. Try it manually, if that works, AutomateIt should be able to do the same I guess.
[Android Apps and Games] GrimPivo:
Looks looks like I'm too stupid for this app :rolleyes:

So.

I made wifi-based trigger for "office" rule, but just now in AutomateIt switched on "came out of the house" rule, that based on gps leaving area trigger. But I'm in the office now!

Why?

Yes, I really not in the "house" coords, but I have strict rule for the "office"!

How to make non-conflict rules? I don't get it :silly:
[Android Apps and Games] Envition:
Will try!
[Android Apps and Games] rkuijpers:
No, you're not stupid, we've all been there (at least I have, and more than once!)

It's pure logic really.

You have a rule that enables wifi when home, and the same rule disables wifi when leaving home. Let's call it your home rule.

You also have a rule that enables wifi when at the office, and disables wifi when leaving the office, your office rule.

Ok, let's talk logic now, you already said it yourself.

Your home rule tells AutomateIt to disable wifi when not at home. That one obviously works. Perfect!

But... your office rule tells AutomateIt to enable wifi when at the office. Problem is, you got two rules in conflict with each other.

You're not at home, so wifi -> off.

You're at the office, so wifi -> on.

But, not at home, so wifi -> off.

Solution? Make one new rule, that tells AutomateIt to enable wifi in both locations, so when in office OR at home -> wifi on.

Second rule: When out of office AND not at home -> wifi off.

That normally should work.

Why the first rule OR, and the second rule AND?

Again, pure logic. You can't be at home AND be at the office at the same time, so if you use AND, the rule will never work.

But, you can be out of the office, AND not be at home at the same time.

I hope I made it easier for you, it can work like you want it to work! AutomateIt is like a robot, it can't think for itself. You're the brains behind the rules [emoji6]

Help!

I recently installed this app after a few frustrations with Llama and to my surprise I found that it chewed through 420MB of data (fortunately mostly on Wifi...but some of my 4G data as well).

Is it normal and what would it do with THAT much data?
[Android Apps and Games] Ipse_Tase:
Have people stopped using it or no one has seen a similar behavior? Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] rkuijpers:
Never seen it. Still using it [emoji6]
[Android Apps and Games] RASTAVIPER:
I use it at 2 devices, never witnessed such matter.

Can you provide some screenshots?
[Android Apps and Games] Ipse_Tase:
...screenshots of...? Active rules or my app data stats showing 420Meg? Not sure I follow.

I didn't have a ton of rules, 12 maybe (3 location based and even those were coarse, and a few related to speaker/headphone use)...

For now I have uninstalled as if this would have happened while on mobile data, I would have been massively pi$$ed. I know I can block the app for ever using data, but I don't know what the implications would be as it probably prevents normal operation.
[Android Apps and Games] MikeWjF:
I'm surprised this app doesn't ask for administrative permissions.
[Android Apps and Games] Ipse_Tase:
So I gave it one last chance seeing how 126 is out and it used 25Megs in 4 hrs...half in the background. Enough is enough.
[Android Apps and Games] RASTAVIPER:
Obviously you are the only one reporting this.

It's clear that the problem then it's on your side.
[Android Apps and Games] movrshakr:
Have you thoroughly checked that you do not have a rule that is causing data use--or a rogue app doing it? I had data jump about a year ago after an app update invisibly turned on very frequent requests to home server, and each one delivered a good sized advert even though I did not see them. Deleted the app.
[Android Apps and Games] Ipse_Tase:
"Obviously" you didn't see the OTHER ignored thread here with the same topic. http://xdaforums.com/general/help/app-automateit-data-wifi-usage-t2827798

And "it's clear" that the problem disappears when I uninstall AutomateIt....so yes, you're right on both accounts.

@movrshakr: my rules only enable/disable data and wifi depending on location, plus the benign ones that turn speaker on/off during a call. The only theory I have it's that coarse location somehow causes this continuous data hunt for something...I didn't get a chance to look in my router and see if I can figure out what flows could possibly match the traffic. Anyhoo...water under the bridge now.

automateit / application status trigger issue

i'm on LG G3 rooted stock lollipop. anyone experiencing this same issue as me?

my automateit rules that have an application as a trigger are not working/being activated. i get the following notification "Usage access required. Automateit Application Trigger requires access to the device usage stats to monitor active applications. Click to manage apps with usage access." i click on the notification but nothing happens and will get the notification again at some point.

According to Automateit FAQ: My application status trigger is no longer working on Android Lollipop. How can this be fixed? Due to changes in Android Lollipop, In order for AutomateIt to monitor active apps it requires an explicit permission from the user. You can do that by going to your device Settings→Security and click on the “Apps with usage access option” (This should be the last item on the settings screen). On that screen, you need to authorize AutomateIt to access the device usage info so it can monitor active apps.

But this option/setting isn't available on G3 stock lollipop. anyone have any ideas or suggestions? thanks in advance.

LG G2 location triggers

My location triggers aren't really working.

I have one rule set to turn wifi on and data off when at home (i've used both location and wifi in range trigger) which seems to work fine.

The problem is I have a 'negative rule' which tries to turn wifi off and data on when I leave home (again tried both location and wifi in range triggers), and that just does not work.

This used to work fine till recently on my Nexus 4 (from what I know). But on my new LG G2 which is rooted and on a custom rom, the positive rule works, but the negative one just refuses to get triggered. Any ideas what's going on? Thanks!

I'd like to make a rule that can help me remember Bluetooth devices like my Jawbone earset and Fitbit.

Is there a way I can have AutomateIt attempt to connect to a device to verify it's presence as a trigger?

I already use my vehicle head unit connection status to trigger actions when I leave the house.

For logic, it would go like this:

- when head unit connected

- and location is home (gps)

- and Fitbit not connected/present

- speak the words "don't forget Fitbit"
[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:
@Muzikant Hope you will read this :cyclops:

This is really an annoying issue.

I´ve a rule that fires when any GPS program is started.

Here´s why ;

The fact that the rule is triggered constantly makes the notification bar going crazy :p

In all GPS program I have the notification bar that scroll constantly down thru the screen making these programs unusable :eek:
[Android Apps and Games] zabumba:
I'm on Galaxy Note 4 (n910f) with stock rooted lollipop (5.0.1) rom. Although I accept root access for Automateit it keeps asking for reboot saying he needs to reboot for some functions to work (already reboot many times but keeps saying the annoying message...).

I have a rule that was working fine before to start GPS when same applications start and then disable GPS when they shut down unfortunately that rule doesn't work anymore.

Thanks
