Automagic Forum

Currently I have a rather alarming battery usage from Automagic: BatteryStat.jpg Automagic.jpg So out of 6 hours Automagic kept my phone awake for far over 1 hour. How can I identify the flow(s) that are responsible for that wake time? Sifting through the logs of all flows would be very, very tediou...

When I rename a flow all references to that flow in "Execute flow" actions and such remain unchanged.
If the renamed flow is directly referenced in some actions without glob patterns * and ? Automagic should ask me if I want to change these references to the new name.

The global variable still points to the same list in such a case. Currently I use an "Execute flow" action afterwards to call the flow that should have been triggered by changing the list variable. It works but I need to remember to put it into each flow. And since I use that variable a lot in my f...

It fires a trigger when it detects that your move in a car and seems to work fairly reliable. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.kanetik.movement_detection Only downside is that you have to buy the plugin for...

In a flow I need to use fairly long timeouts, around 5 or 10 minutes. The flow may possibly run dozens of times a day. So I can either use a "Sleep" action (without keeping awake) or calculate the target time in advance, store it in a global variable and enable a second flow with a "Global Variable ...

Example: I have a trigger where I want to respond to changes in the list global_testList . In a flow I add or remove values to the list global_testList with the functions addElement a...

You need to be a programmer to understand android resources, and not every Automagic user is a programmer.
But I guess the percentage is much higher than with other apps

I would like to have a small description or comment for a flow that is displayed in the list of flows instead of the first triggers, actions or conditions. The display of the triggers and actions in the flow list is not very clear, and it would be very beneficial if one could describe what the flow ...

I would love to be able to use other icons than the ones build-in!
But it guess it would be easier for "common folk" to use simple image files and not android resources

Have a nice holiday!
