The rule will only apply if all triggers are met. If you want OR create another rule. TimeFrames If you specify a rule with a timeframe you have two choices. You can choose between entering and leaving a timeframe. Either way an action is triggered only once.\nSo if you create a rule that has \"entering timeframe xyz\" as trigger and let it change your sound profile to vibrate that does not mean that the phone will automatically go to ring if the timeframe is over. If you want that you need to specify another rule with another timeframe. On the main screen you can use lock sound changes to temporarily avoid rule based sound changes. E.g. you may be in a situation or place where usually ringtones are ok, but this one time it would be disturbing. The feature will automatically deactivate once the configured time has elapsed. Click the + button to add the given amount of time. Once it is active you may deactivate it again using the toggle button (and that way enable rule based sound changes again). Toggable rules Rules have a flag called \"Toggable\". This means that if a rule is executed and afterwards the same triggers apply again the rule will be executed in an opposite mode where applicable. Currently this will only happen in conjunction with NFC tags. If you tap them twice and there\'s a toggable rule associated with it it will do the opposite of the current situation, e.g. deactivate wifi if it\'s currently activated. If you specify a rule with a process monitor the application will check for that process every x seconds (you can change that in settings). I know that can be kind of slow, but continuous monitoring would drain the battery to fast. And there is no broadcast from the OS for that event. Energy saving Many Android device manufacturers try to save energy by limiting the background activity of running apps. Unfortunately that often results in those apps not working properly, Automation is amongst these. See this webpage on how to find out how to exclude Automation from those measures.

Volume test To calculate a dB value for noise monitoring you need to specify a so called physical reference value. Please read Wikipedia for further information. This value is most likely different for every phone. Drag the seekbar to change the defined physical reference value. The higher the reference value the lower the dB value will be.

Username Password Use authentication Required permissions Explanation of required permissions Ok Disabled features The following permissions have been denied: The app is current running in limited mode and has deactivated some features. To fully function it requires permissions. If you want to use all functionality you have to grant the permissions in the following rights dialogues. If you do not certain rules can not be executed. In the following you are given an explanation for the requested permissions. Click "continue", when you are ready to proceed. To enable the feature you just tried to use more permissions are required. Click continue to request them. continue Rule Read and store settings The app is running in limited mode because of lacking permissions. Green = enabled, red = disabled, yellow = not enough permissions The permission to change some OS settings is required (even simple stuff like turn on bluetooth or wifi). After clicking "continue" a window will popup where you need to enable this for Automation. Then hit your "back" key. Further permissions will be requested in a second dialog afterwards. Automation requires access to external storage to read its settings and rules. Automation requires more permissions to fully function. Click on this text to find out more and request them.

This feature can detect if you\'re currently on the go and if it is on foot or in which type of vehicle (to a certain extent). The feature is not fully built into Automation, but is provided by Google Play Services. Technically it does not give a yes/no result, but return a percentage to which level it is sure it detected you\'re status. You can setup the percentage value from which Automation will accept a result. Two remarks: 1) More than 1 status could occur at the same time. For example you might be WALKING inside a driving bus. 2) This sensor is relative cost intensive. If it is possible you might consider using alternatives, e.g. require your car\'s handsfree device to be connected to detect you\'re driving. Send text message Text to send You can directly enter a phone number. Alternatively use the contacts option to pick one. But keep in mind: The number will be stored here, not the contact. If you change the phone number of a selected contact you\'ll need to update this rule. It doesn\'t do that by itself. Import number from contacts If you\'re using the noise level trigger: Unfortunately beginning with Android 9 (Pie) Google decided to disallow background applications to use the microphone. So this trigger has no effect anymore and won\'t trigger anything. Unfortunately Google decided to remove this feature in Android 10. Regular apps are not allowed anymore to turn wifi on or off. This means this action will have no effect on your device. This message won\'t be shown again. In this final selection popup you need to select a specific activity. Simplified this is like a window of the desired application. If you do not know which one it is generally a good idea to pick one that has \"main\" or \"launcher\" in its name.

This app collects location data to enable location based rules and speed detection even when the app is closed or not in use. This app collects location data to determine if you\'re currently at one of the locations you created. Furthermore it is used to determine your current speed if you are using that trigger in rules. That is done even when the app is closed or not in use (but only when the service is activated). Read location in background. This device does not seem to have bluetooth. You can still continue configuring this, but it will most likely not have an effect. Create or edit locations Error This feature is based on non-free software.

Automation now uses another path to store your files. All your Automation-files have been moved here: \"%s\". The external storage permission is not required anymore; you can revoke it. It will be removed in a future version.
