Sharing of Flows

Post by steelersmb » 12 Dec 2019 17:55

I was just wondering why there aren't more flows that people share. If you look at Tasker or Automate, there are a ton of flows that are available for download. Automagic is the better of both of these programs so I'm just wondering why more people don't contribute.

There are actually maybe hundreds of flows here. I have shared several generic ones here too. You can find some interesting ones in my index. (I haven't updated it yet for a long time).

However, since many of the flows are usage specific, you won't find many flows that you interested to, At first I also try a lot of flows here. In the end, I just use some of the concept, develeop my own standard practice and typically design flows only for my very own specific usage. See some of my usages here : viewtopic.php?f=6&t=8407#p26368


That's why I rarely share my flow, others might thought of the same. Since even if I shared it, there are pratically no other user can benefit from it. I would rather show you how to do/create your own, so you can benefit from your experience directly. But for general purpose ones, I might share it with the full description how to use it. Check out some of my example of flow sharing in the index.

I plan to share my Yeelight Control flow if I have finished the routine set part. That can help others to build color flow for their yeelight. I am also creating flow for my sonoff Tasmota, which I think popular enough to be share-worthy.

On the other thought, Tasker has 1 Million+ install, while Automagic only has 10,000+, so number speaks. It is just somehow that Automagic is not as popular as tasker, so underrated. If we can have the same 1 Million+ installs, maybe there will be ten thousands of flows here.

I second Desmanto's point of view.

I have 200+ flows that are very specific. Maybe that's Automagic's strength.
Crude but it works.

Same here, but for some that might be of use i just can't be bothered because most of my flows depend on other flows like the API one idk

Also if im gonna release a flow i want to make sure it is not language dependend, properly documented, doesnt contain major bugs etc etc
