Set Media Volume When I Talk To Google Now

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 :)
