Thanks Martin, I'll give this a try.

Hi Martin Regarding this feature, what would be the equivalent of swiping an app away in the task switcher view ? To me, this looks like the nicest way to "kill" an app. E.g. when my car bluetooth disconnects, I'd like to stop Waze and Goolge Maps. Kill App Process (15) works, but it seems very aggr...

Hi all

I would also love to have this UDP sending+listener action.
This would be very useful for IoT scripts.
A very simple example : send a UDP multicast packet for service discovery (i.e. SSDP, mDNS/ZeroConf, ...).

I'm using this process to receive commands from my Google Home device in Automagic and it works great !

I've added time constraints directly to the periodic location trigger since Automagic has to register the time events in the system to execute the flow anyway so most of the logic was already part of this trigger. OK I get it, thanks for the information. Triggers that don't use the alarm/time featu...

All right, I change my flow to "Location", and I think it works really great ! For my information, is there a reason why "periodic location update" can be time-range limited, and not location ? I added to "time" flow to enable and disable my location flows based on time (it works, no problem), but i...

Hi, The trigger Location uses the Geofencing feature provided by the device (method Classic ). Automagic does not use any polling on it's own, the help page just mentions the polling interval since this was usually the way it was/is implemented by devices. You can also use the Google Play services ...

I think it may make a difference, because when you enter the area, your first location condition returns TRUE, so automagic has acknowledged that transition; I'd guess (don't know for sure) that the second location condition will look for a transition and (since that's already been acknowledged), i...

Hi ! From reading the help files, I understand that location check is executed by Automagic in it's own code. Wouldn't be a good idea to add the possibility to use the Location Services' Geofencing API ? I think this API is very power efficient, and nicely integrated with sleep/doze. It has all the ...

The first condition returned true, and the second one also returned true (i.e., it considered I DID enter the location). I realized that because my music volume suddenly dropped to 1 while driving, which is supposed to only happen when I arrive at work. So in fact the first condition did return TRU...
