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.

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. Edit Click and hold an item for options. Rule \"%1$s\" finished. Positioning engine Thanks to Google\'s infinite whisdom and constant endeavor to protect everyone\'s privacy rules that may send sms or involve the users phone state have to be stripped off applicable triggers and actions.

Start screen Select the screen the applications opens withs at start. Run rules/profiles with single click. 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. Therefore is is not available in the F-Droid version. Your settings and or rules are currently referencing non-free features that cannot be provided in the F-Droid version. That includes detecting your current physical activity. published on Display application news on main screen Announcements about this app only, we\'re probably talking about 1-2 per year, not more. 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. Would you like to receive (only important) news about this app on the main screen? Those are downloaded from the developer\'s website. There will be no intrusive notification, just a text on the main screen when you open the app. Location disabled Location cannot be determined anymore. Click here to find out why. Unfortunately your location cannot be determined anymore. A debt of gratitude is owed to Google for its infinite wisdom and amiableness.\\n\\nLet me explain this further. Starting with Android 10 a new permission was introduced that is needed to determine your location in the background (which of course is required for an app like this). Whilst I consider that a good idea in general the chicanery it involves for developers is not.\\n\\nWhen developing an app you can try to qualify for this permission by abiding to a catalog of requirements. Unfortunately new versions of my app have been rejected over a period of three months. I fulfilled all those requirements, Google\'s shitty development support claimed I would not. After giving them proof that I did after all - I got a response like \"I cannot help you anymore\". Eventually I gave up. \\n\\nAs a consequence the Google Play version can NOT use your location as a trigger anymore. My only alternative option would have been to have this application removed from the store entirely.\\n\\nI\'m very sorry about that, but I\'ve tried my best arguing with a \"support\" that repeatedly failed to pass the Turing test.\\n\\nThe good news: You can still have it all!\\n\\nAutomation is now open source and can be found in F-Droid. That is an app store that really cares about your privacy - rather than just acting like that. Simply backup your config file, uninstall this app, install it again from F-Droid, restore your config file - done.\\n\\nClick here to find out more: Config and log files are stored in folder %1$s. Click on this text to open a file explorer. Unfortunately this will only work on a rooted device.\n\nFOR ALL OTHER DEVICES: Simply use the export button to make a backup. Notification Title Text equals contains starts with ends with not equals Any app This trigger will respond to other applications opening notifications in the notification area (or such being closed). You can specify another application from which the notification has to come from. If you don\'t the notifications from any other application will count. You can also specify strings that must be or must not be in their title or notification body. The comparison is done case-INsensitive. %1$s posts notification notification from %1$s removed Notification appears Notification disappears Direction Read system notifications Play sound always play If this settings is active the sound will always be played. If it is deactivated it will only play if your phone is neither on mute nor vibrate. However if active it will not have an effect on the volume. So if your phone is on ring mode it will not increase the media volume for example. So if media volume is on mute you won\'t hear anything either. Select sound file File does not exist. No file manager installed. Share config and log files with developer (via email). This will start a new email with your config and log files attached as zip file. It will not be sent automatically, you still need to hit \"send\". You can also change the recipient to yourself for example. Here you have 2 general options:\n\n1. You can start a program by selecting an activity.\nImagine this like preselecting a specific screen/window of an application. Keep in mind this may not always work. This is because the windows of an app might interact with each other, e.g. pass on parameters. When bluntly starting a specific screen that interaction has not happened and the window might close instantly (therefore it\'s never really shown). Try it nevertheless!\nYou can enter an activity path manually, but it\'s recommended to use the \"Select\" button. If you decide to enter it manually enter the app\'s package name in the upper field and the full path of the activity in the lower one.\n\n2. Selection by action\nIn contrast to selecting a specific window you can also start a program by an action. This is like shouting out \"I\'d would like xyz\" and if there\'s an app installed that can help you with that it will be started. A good example would be start browser - you might even have multiple installed (one is usually the default one).\nYou need to enter this manually, PackageName is optional here. Keep in mind no variables will be resolved. If you want to start the camera for example using \"MediaStore.ACTION_IMAGE_CAPTURE\" will not work. You have to take a look at the Android documentation and use this variable\'s actual value instead which in this example would be \"android.media.action.IMAGE_CAPTURE\". There was an error running a rule. Cannot find sound file %1$s and therefore not play it. Add parameters Control tunnels of the wireguard app Method to\nselect application by activity by action Enter a valid action Enter a valid package name. State You can enter a specific phone number, but you don\'t have to. If you want to specify one you can either pick one from your address book or enter it manually. Also regular expressions are supported if you want the rule to apply to an entire number block for example.
