day and night

Post by bpetri » 31 Dec 2013 15:58

hello,

i am a newcomer to automagic but what i can say for now I love it ;-)

is there a way to recognize when ecet (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End_of_eve ... l_twilight) has begon?

i want to achieve to turn the display into the lowest brightness mode when night starts in order to avoid blinding from the display.
i will have a look if the condition of the light sensor is also available, maybe it can be achieved this way.

i am looking forward to your thoughts...

cheers
bernhard

Hi,

Automagic has no built-in trigger or condition to detect sunrise/sunset.

You could use one of the following plugins:
Locale/Tasker Twilight Plug-in
Day & Night Locale plug-in

You can either add a trigger or condition Plugin to a flow then select the plugin from the list and press configure.

Regards,
Martin

Thanks Martin for the suggestions. I'll give them a try. Hopefully, I won't have to come back because it'd mean I'm successful making the flow works like I wish.

Kind Regards
