Re: serial communications
This sounds very interesting, thanks for the links. I'm tempted to make some tests and see if this works with my old serial servo controller. I don't promise anything yet and it will probably take some months until I can take a look since my todo-list is very long already. If you are familiar with ...

Re: ControlUI to control GPS?
I have Google Location Reporting and History both switched off (doesn't benefit me - things like navigation still work, and things like Google Now can't notify me of things based on my location well). These two serttings are different from the setting for forcing GPS off. And I have the benefit of a...

Re: ControlUI to control GPS?
Yes, that's what I'm saying.
If I leave the phone idle over night, battery goes down 0.5 - 0.7%/hr regardless of if GPS is set on or off

Re: ControlUI to control GPS?
Ah ok - on a stock Nexus 4 you enable GPS in the settings and it only actually fires up when apps request it. When it's not fired up it consumes (almost?) no power (even though it's enabled). So I just leave it enabled without any apparent downside.

Re: ControlUI to control GPS?
Why is it necessary to switch GPS on/off? Android should dynamically power GPS up when an app requests it. On my phones at least, GPS usage then stops when the requesting app is closed. So I control GPS by controlling the apps that request GPS... For in-car actions I use a NFC tag on the phone holde...

Re: Connect to secured WiFi based on QR code
Maybe we can use an action that takes an picture and sends it to a service to return the QR code text? Is there a (Google?) service that can be invoked to do this heavy lifting? Or an app that supports intents we can link to? Also how to populate the WiFi credentials in the Android device?

Re: Bluetooth connection notification
A small additional tip: Maybe it works on Lollipop too. Under 4.3 there is a class called .Settings$NotificationStationActivity. It is part of com.android.settings. If you start it in "Start App" action you will get complete list of notification since bootup. By tab on an entry it will open App-Inf...

Bluetooth connection notification
Anyone happen to know which app/package generates the notification for incoming Bluetooth connection/pairing requests on Lollipop? I see a notification shade notification and a Bluetooth icon appears on the left of the status bar... It'd like to use that as a trigger for a flow (unless someone knows...

Re: More intelligent backup
Can a new trigger be added to support the specific need to back up flows/widgets - triggers only when flows or widgets are edited by the user?

Re: More intelligent backup
Is there a reason why "activity_ended" should be unreliable? If it works with my phone, will it be reliable on my phone?Wibbly wrote:Hmm. Seems to work for now but there's note for that trigger that it's unreliable with Lollipop, so I don't want to rely on it.
