Thanks. I think a "timer" action would be a useful future addition for use in composite actions.

Composite Action:

action: x

action: time passes

action: y

action:time passes

action: z

It would allow manual triggers to have delays; could be used to progressively alter a setting (sleep timer); could create interval timers, etc. I think it would perhaps be more intuitive for users than the delayed execution function. Anyway, I am sure you have a list of good ideas already that you wish to implement.

---------- Post added at 04:28 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:15 PM ----------

Not straightforward, but I did create a workaround in case anyone else has a similar situation.

Trigger:

Recurring Event Trigger: Execute action every 1 minute.

Action:

Play sound

Widget:

Toggle Enable/Disable rule.

Tap widget, sound plays after 1 min. Tap widget again to disable and prevent repeated playing of sound.

I have question/problem...

I set several triggers and actions and I told it to not wake the device.

I understand that it doesn't get the screen on, but every time the app execute an action it wakes the device and the screen is on... Is there any way to avoid it?

Thx

greenify shell command

Hi, automateit is a great product but I'm having one issue. I'd like to greenify or wake just a couple specific apps rather than all at once, so I'm trying to do it through automateit's shell command.

Could you tell me what commands to type to hibernate/wake Field Trip and Viper4android?

Hi,

I'm using the Pro version and this is my Ruleset:

Trigger: Execute at every 60mins

Action: Enable Sync

Active Period: 12pm-12am (Every Day)

I have a similar rule which disables sync from 12.05pm-12.05am. The problem is that sometimes both of them get randomly triggered. How do I find the solution to this problem?

Hello

I have recently downloaded your App and I really like it. I'm pretty good with phones and just recently rooted my note 3.

I have one question.. I have a couple rules for bluetooth on and off.. Bluetooth on trigger is via motion and it will turn on bt. The off trigger is when not connected to bt devices. Problem is when bt on in car and my phone is on passenger seat or in center console and someone calls the rule of phone being away applies and goes to speaker of my phone. I have to hit handset on phone to correct.. I don't want to disable the rule for being away from my ear, how do i setup properly so this does not happen in the car? Any help would be much appreciated...

What's better Tasker or AutomateIt?

I really don't know and i don't wanna download them both.

For now i use Tasker but i would love to hear the pros and cons between Tasker and AutomateIt!
[Android Apps and Games] scissorscrush:
It is the native message app for SMS. I don't use any other app and I have a nexus 4. No hangouts.

your welcome and create both rules with trigger with same SMS and it will do wonders. ;)

Read all that, no third party app for SMS, no extra blank text, nothing.

What I actually want to do is, I wanna trigger the first rule to run every 2 sec and the other one every 5 minutes. And I tried to set active period with a trigger on SMS and repeat action every 2 sec so that no one can lower the volume while the sound is on until I send found SMS to end the trigger.

One suggestion... You should add recurring event in trigger and action too. The reason for that is, if you wanna trigger an action every 2 sec and do not assign an active period for it, it will be repeating the action again and again. Now if I had that in action, I could assign the trigger with an SMS and add 2 sec in action to repeat the action. Your condition is also ok, that I can assign an active period with lost and found SMS and set the trigger for 2 sec to repeat the action but that unfortunately is not working for me.

bluetooth discovering trigger

Hi all,

I think a new trigger could be very usefull: "is/isn't bluetooth device ******* discovered".

More explaination: I want an action to start when my automate-it powered device feel an other phone near to it.

So I have automate-it powered device to look for bt devices...

I know there is a trigger looking for BT status or BT connections, up to now.

I'd like a trigger with "is/isn't BT device **.**.**.** present" condition.

Not all bt devices can be connected (i.e.: an other phone), btw by a bt signal I can know where I am.

A different target: when I'm near a person (my phone can see his phone, by BT search) make phone silent, or simulate a call, or sand an sms to a number (SMS: "don't call me now, I'll call you later"; or "I'm at work, I cannot answer, I'll call you back asap")...

By this I could "locate" little spaces, people presence... so my phone can change its behaviour..

Do you know a way to achieve my needs?

Have I to search better in automate-it menu?

Have I to ask for new feature? how to do it?

Thanks in advance, Have nice days. Ciao

Ciao.

Bluetooth media service

Have posted this on your own forum but thought the other users here might be able to help also.

Wanted to find out if it's possible to create a rule/shell command that allows me to toggle the bluetooth media service on/off on demand.

A little back ground, my new Ford van has the Ford sync system which connects with the bluetooth phone service on my galaxy s4 by bluetooth and gives me a proper hands free phone system but also connects to the bluetooth media service to play music.

Unfortunately if I use Google maps for the satnav it outputs the audio via the media sevice so you can only hear the voice commands if you have the stereo set to bluetooth, not radio or anything else.

To combat this I have turned of the media service in the Ford sync bluetooth connection but of course this means I can no longer play music from the phone to the van stereo without mucking about in the settings menu.

I would ideally like to create a rule that turns on the bluetooth media service for the van's bluetooth connection when I start the music app and turn it back off when I exit it.

Hope someone can offer some advice.

Many thanks in advance.

[Android Apps and Games] ChefChaudart:

[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
You would need to use the Application Trigger for Waze & Mobile Data as Action...something like Application Deactivated (Waze) and than Mobile Data Disabled.

I can't tell you exactly without trying to create the Rule myself...it might take you a few tries, but you should be able to figure it out.

[Android Apps and Games] sgsI9003:
New User downloaded the free version I am trying to create the following rules but seems I am doing something wrong or may be the app doesn't have time based option

1. When out of wifi zone (my router) activate BT & connect to Car BT(mac address mentioned) but after this how do I create an exit task?

I want to do the following exit task

when disconnected from Car BT (mac address mentioned) switch off BT & activate wifi so as I enter my wifi zone it connects back but this should only be activated based on Mobile tower near my house.

2. I created a rule if starting gallery app> then set brightness to 255 but how to add when exiting gallery toggle brightness back to its original setting? Do I create a separate rule?

3. I also want multiple triggers such as certain task to be location specific & time of the day only but cant find the option to combine the 2-3 together.

My question still remained unanswered does the pro version allow inbuilt exit task or I have to create entry & exit task separately?

Example:

if apps > camera or gallery in use

set brightness to 255

when I exit apps or don't use the app then set the brightness back to auto (what it was)

As of now I have to create 2 separate entry & exit task

I hope I am clear now.

Just started using the Pro version yesterday. I set a location trigger to turn my lockscreen off when I get home which it did but when I left the house to go to work the lockscreen never re-enabled. Do I need to set another trigger to re-enable the lockscreen when I leave a certain location or something?
[Android Apps and Games] lion7718:
Yes, anything that has an on & off trigger needs 2 tasks.
[Android Apps and Games] regP:
So I've set 2 triggers one to disable lockscreen when connected to my home wifi and another to enable it upon disconnect. I arrived home about an hour ago and my lockscreen is still enabled. The history shows the disable triggered almost an hour ago but lockscreen is still present. Any ideas?

Trying to find a work around for combining "SMS From Contact Trigger" and "SMS With Text Trigger"

AutomateIt won't let me combine these in an 'AND' trigger which I understand that, but is there any way to make this happen? I need a rule for fairly generic text and don't want false positives.

I tried enabling the rule on "SMS From Contact Trigger" and the rule trigger on "SMS With Text Trigger" in hopes that the application would evaluate the same text twice in this way, it doesn't.

Also setting the "End trigger" to "Recurring Even Trigger" of 5 seconds seems to continuously fire even after the rule has been disabled.

Any ideas?
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
Hoping someone can help.

I wanted to find an Xposed module to invert apps (to get a black background), but none really work. Samsung has an option to toggle inverted colours using a triple home key press, but I'd like to setup Automateit to automatically send those triple key presses when entering specific apps that have white backgrounds, then send the key presses again when the app is exited.

Any way to do this?
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
This will only work on rooted devices

You can use the Shell Plugin and execute a command that simulates the HOME_KEY press three times.

The command you need to use is

input keyevent 3

You can read more about simulated keyevents here
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
Yes, I was able to try that line of code, but is there any way to simulate THREE of those key presses? Right now, it just returns to the home screen when the app is launched - writing that down three times (separated with a comma) has the same effect. Is there another way?
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
Instead of separating the commands with a comma, write it in 3 lines:

input keyevent 3
input keyevent 3
input keyevent 3
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
Hmm, now I'm getting an error in superuser when it tries to execute that command:

"WARNING: linker: app_process has text relocations. This is wasting memory and is a security risk. Please fix it"

[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
This doesn't look like an AutomateIt error. Looking for the WARNING message leads to several possible solutions but this out of AutomateIt scope...

Google Search of the WARNING message
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
Figured it out! I set SuperSU to install as a system app and it executes those commands (but still triggers a warning), but it treats it as three distinct HOME key presses, so the app will return to the home screen, popup an overview of my home screens and then return home again :(
[Android Apps and Games] EP2008:
Ok, now this is how you do it!

The "input keyevent 3" is correct for a single press, but if you write it like this, it will produce a triple press: "input keyevent 3 3 3"

Now, I create a rule when I enter an app and another rule when I exit (to return the colours back to normal).

Of course, I have to keep the accessibility option for inverted colours enabled on my device, but that's how the whole thing works - only now it's automatic :good:
[Android Apps and Games] Muzikant:
