Action: Turn screen off

Post by mkyral » 09 May 2013 22:01

Hi,
I want to create a flow that will switch off the screen when I put phone "face down". But there is only "Turn screen on" action.

Yes, I checked this as well. But I don't want to lock the phone. Just switch screen off. It is not the same.

I created a workaround setting the screen timeout to one second and then restoring it to previous value. But probably it won't work on every device.

(It would work faster if I will set it to a smaller amount of time (e.g. 1ms). But it would be risky because you probably won't have any chance to set it back if Automagic stops at a unlucky moment)
Edit:
It works currently only in EAP version.
Please select in options: "skip execution when an other instance is already running"
