Screen timeout

Post by Mices7 » 10 Nov 2018 19:05

Hi everybody,
I needed a flow to reduce the screen timeout whenever the phone is placed in its wireless charging base.
Well, it is quite simple since there are the proper trigger (power source connected) and action (set screen timeout). However, it is not possible to reduce the timeout below 15 seconds whilst I would an almost immediate reaction (let's say three seconds).
Is there any reason to not allow a choice of time of less than 15 seconds?

Thanks

Hi mices7
"Set System settings" action can do that.select "Set System settings" action.In name options search for "screen off timeout". Enter value in milliseconds.
For example=
1 second = 1000
10 seconds = 10000

Caution: Becareful while using this action.
At last enable the option at bottom "I have verified settings". Before using this action enter high value for safety. After entering value, execute action check display timeout.

Hi Rafi4,
thanks for your suggestion, it works perfectly.
I didn't know how powerful the Set System Setting action is.
