Description

From the listing uploaded by “appupdater”.

This program can help you automate stuff on your device. Specify rules that trigger events under certain conditions. There are other apps that already do that, but this one has different features. If you have feature requests, problems or questions please send me an email. If you find a bug please use the error reporting feature and give me a chance to fix the bug before you post a bad review. Because of Google restrictions I've had to remove more and more features from the app. If you don't like that, have a look at my website. Triggers: * Location (due to Google restrictions removed for newer devices) * Time * Speed (due to Google restrictions removed for newer devices) * Noise level (how loud is your environment) (due to Google restrictions removed for newer devices) * Device charging state * USB connection to computer * Wifi connection connected/disconnected * Other application started/stopped * Airplane mode * Roaming * Battery level * NFC Tags * Activity detection (e.g. driving car, walking) * Bluetooth events * Headset connection * Notifications from other apps * Device orientation * Ringtone profiles * Screen state * Music playing or not * Device started * Service started Actions: * ToggleWifi (due to Google restrictions removed for newer devices) * Toggle Bluetooth * Toggle Wifi tethering or USB tethering * Trigger URL (doesn't open the browser, but issues a get operation to a webserver; I use this for home automation) * Change sound settings * Toggle screen rotation * Start other application (and optionally deliver intents) * Wakeup device * Wait (makes sense before certain other actions) * Toggle AirplaneMode (only up to Android 4.1) * Start music player * Text to speech * Change screen brightness * Control media playback * Play sound file * Create notification * Close notifications Explanations of the use of permissions: https://server47.de/automation/permissions.php
