Swipe Trigger

Post by johnjebasundar » 16 Mar 2016 06:13

Hi I am very happy to use Automagic.

Please add :

1. Swipe (Gesture) Trigger (Macrodroid has this feature)
2. Condition of Auto Brightness.

Example :
I want to set to Auto Brightness by swiping the screen in the current window without going to settings.

Trigger : Swipe (left / right / diagonal)
Condition : If Auto Birghtness is "False"
Action : Set Auto Brightness to "True"

Sorry for not directly answering your request ;)
but I think this recommendation could really be useful:

There is an App called "Velis Auto Brightness"
https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta ... brightness
which I can really recommend.

Since I use it, I simply enjoy the optimal brightness for every condition.
It works much better than the build in auto-brightness and allows
- to exclude Apps
- overrule via notification
- and (if you pay the little inApp-purchase amount) you can even trigger profiles using Automagic



Nevertheless I do find your request interesting.

br,
Chris

Hi,

@johnjebasundar:
1. You can create a thin custom widget and add a clickable action with a swipe gesture to execute a flow. Show the widget using action Show Custom Widget Overlay with clickable activated. It's a bit more complicated than a dedicated trigger but it's also quite flexible.
2. You can check auto brightness with an action Init Variable System Setting and check if the value of screen_brightness_mode is set to 1. I'll add a regular condition to check this in the next version.

Regards,
Martin
