Could anyone help me to replicate the functions of Screebl and KinScreen applications on Automagic?

It seems that the applications do quite a few things, probably not everything can be done using Automagic.
What kind of features are you looking for?

I would like to create something similar using Automagic, ie using the sensor data to identify the tilt angle, proximity, motion and determine if the screen will keep on or off.

There are a few things that could help to recreate the functions:
-trigger Proximity Sensor
-trigger and/or condition Device Orientation (the condition also provides the x/y/z acceleration even when the condition evaluates to false. You could use the variables to determine the angle)
-trigger Display State

Please ensure that the flows with sensor triggers are not running 24 hours a day otherwise the battery drain becomes noticeable. A solution that works in some cases is to use an action Set Flow State to enable the flows with trigger sensors only when really required.

Regards,
Martin
