Periodic Trigger is not reliable

[mrdanger]

The periodic timer is not reliable. I have a timer that ran every minute. In sporadic situation the timer is not run for approximately 5 minutes.

Following settings are configured:
- App is excluded for battery optimization on my phone
- the timer can wake up from sleep mode
- the timer is allowed in battery save mode

Have anyone ha an idea?

What phone do you use? Some ROM use a very aggressive battery optimization that usually interfere with any Automation App (including Automagic). You have to troubleshoot it first. I have post example of step to check here : viewtopic.php?f=5&t=6875

I use the Samsung S9+ with original rom

Try the troubleshooting step at the link above. Try to disable any power saver and put the screen timeout to never when testing the flow. You want to find the culprit first.

Hi,

Samsung used to execute timers of apps in five minutes intervals only when the screen is turned off. A possible workaround is to use option Like alarm clock which unfortunately shows a little alarm icon in the status bar.

Thanks, that's it. If I use it as alarm, then it works.
