Set Media Volume When I Talk To Google Now

Post by Bascule » 25 Jan 2017 15:06

Hi,

I'm always talking to my phone. The problem is, sometimes it shouts back and sometimes is whispers!

So it's occurred to me that Automagic might be able to help. I think I know how to set the media volume in Automagic but I don't know how I could trigger that action.

Is there a way for Automagic to recognise when I start talking to Google now?

Any advice gratefully received.

Aha - I have just seen another post on the same subject. Apologies for the repeated question.

I'd welcome suggestions, though...

Aha again! I have a suggestion for myself - try this:

For anyone whose interested:

You need to use the paid version of the Tasker Now plug-in (only 88p). The free version doesn't do regular expressions.

Create a trigger with a Plugin Event, select Tasker Now, and set the Statement to matched to ^.*

Then add an action of Set Audio Volume, set Sound Type to "Music", set Change Type to "Set value" and select the Volume level of choice.

I also tick the "Show Volume Level Popup" box so I get evidence that the flow has run.

Hope this helps someone :)
