Periodic car task

Post by manuel » 13 May 2014 12:55

I use this workflow to remind me periodically to check tires pressure. The same idea can be used for other car related workflows. It uses the connection to the car Bluetooth as the trigger.
The logic is as follows:
- "Trigger car monthly task" is a calendar based trigger which raises a flag "global_carMonthlyTask"
- "Car Bluetooth connected, check monthly task" executes every time I enter the car and the phone connects to the Bluetooth. If global_carMonthlyTask is true, it launches a notification
- "Monthly task confirmation" gets triggered when you select the previous notification. You can then disable the flag. If you don't disable it, it will remain active and hence it will notify you every time you enter the car (this is on purpose, because the first moment you enter the car after the montly trigger may be not the best one to check the tires).


Check tires

You need to change the second workflow to select you car bluetooth device (using "Specific device" in the trigger)
