Info sync, two phones

Post by Tordenfod » 04 Mar 2016 18:39

Is there a smart way to check if phone 1. Is charging from phone nr.2?
Case.. I have quite a few flows that control my HUE lights...one of them I switching all lights of when I go to bed a my phone is docked.Sometimes I'm not the last one who goes to bed, leaving the family in total darkness.So how to check if kids/wife's phone is docked? Could be done by an SMS flow, but maybe there is a smarter way? All phones have automagic and the HUE flows so a way to check on phone status should remove the problem...

If the phones are in the same WiFi network, you could use a trigger HTTP Request on one device and an action HTTP Request on the other device to pass data between the devices. Another way would be to use google drive or dropbox actions to store some state information of one device in the cloud and download the file from the other device to check the state.
