Questions of some special flows

iplayradio · Post by **iplayradio** » 14 Apr 2016 07:09

At first i would like to give my best regards to the dev. team behind the scenes for
making this really amazing app that can end up being the actual "killer app" for complete
automation on any smart device out there.

Now i have some questions regarding some flows i have created but they don't seem
to work properly, because i have the feeling that i have incorrectly configured them.

So i need your help please.

All those flows i have on my device, are based on my daily life in order to make
my life easier.

Should i just post my flows down below ?

Regards,
Jim

That would be desirable. It's hard to help if we don't know the problem.

Check the forum with the application. You can submit the flows with the button at the bottom. If you have them a lot, I think it would be best to post them one by one for easier inspection.

Thank you very much for the quick response.

I shall try that and post one by one as its better - i don't have many flows but they are
all so complicated.

So here it is below:

I just tried what you suggested but i don't know what to do next.

I submitted the flows but nothing else happened after.

I think i should write my flows here in details one by one ?

Regards,
Jim

When you submit flows via AM app, it generates a link to the clipboard which you have to paste to the forums. Sorry, I wasn't clear enough.

Well ok not a problem.

What is more preferred, to just copy paste that flow url generated from the AM app or
if i describe exactly one scenario of my daily life ? I mean if i describe exactly what i would
like to do could that then be transformed to a flow ?

The reason ask this, is because i am sure that even if post the generated url it will be
a surely wrong flow and not sure will make you completely understand what i am trying to do.

Up to you, just let me know what is best for you ?

It could be easy enough to explain small flows, but more complex flow are better to post here and explain the use case as required. There's no quidelines for this, but the better you can explain the problem and posting relevant flows, the easier it'll be to help you.

One reason why I hate to use forums from my mobile phone. I just saved a draft message before posting this reply quote here and now I cannot find the draft message.

Crap. I shall find a way to parse the generated url from my mobile device to my pc so i can reply from my pc. I prefer using forums from pc

Here is flow one called "Disconnected from BT Carkit"

One this flow here is the detailed scenario i am trying work out:

This flow is for when i have left the office while the wifi state was enabled
on my device.

1. when the device is disconnected from my bluetooth carkit
2. check if wifi is connected to specific SSID's
3. and if its connected to the SSID's, then set bluetooth state off and wifi state on
4. and if its not connected to the SSIDs', then set bluetooth state on and wifi state off

Its a complex flow but i must find the correct method on how to do it.

On previous alternative apps like AM, i had all my automation rules based on time and
specific days of week.

Now i am thinking a bit differently, and want to base my rules / triggers based on
connectivity of either bluetooth or wifi . I still not want to use GPS based (location)
triggers because i think that way it will consume more battery if i want better accuracy.

Also something else to notice, is that every flow that i have created on AM, i want it
to run 24/7 everyday, like in a loop. Because all flows are based on my daily life schedule.

Thank you

Hi,

On the left side of the flow, you are checking if WiFi is connected to a few specific networks. But you turn on WiFi after the check which makes no sense since I assume that WiFi is not turned on so it won't be connected to a SSID.
You can exchange the condition with WiFi Available to check if a particular network is available and the background scanning for WiFi networks is enabled on your device. Another option would be to turn on WiFi and to wait a few seconds before executing the condition. If your device connected to one of the desired networks, you can keep WiFi on, otherwise turn WiFi off again.

Regards,
Martin
