Why does a trigger by Cell ID need location sensors?
Posted: 25 Mar 2019 17:55
Am new to Automagic; until recently I used Llama with my old phone and been very happy with how it works. Got a new phone now (OnePlus 6 rooted with Stock Android Pie) and had to learn that Llama is no longer able to read and store CIS info.
Tried Tracker and Automagic to replace Llama, and highly prefer Automagic.
So I built 2 flows similar to what I had with Llama, i.e. activate WiFi when I come home / to work, and inactivate WiFi when I leave those places; the "work" flow performs a few more actions.
As triggers I use "phone cell GSM"; attached is one of the 2 flows (with some data altered).
Basically both flows are working, but only as long as I keep the phone's location sensors enabled. If I disable location the flows stop working.
Over the years using Android phones I made it a habit to only enable those sensors that I really use actively, and disable them as long as they aren't needed.
Question is: why does a GSM cell trigger need to be supported by location info?
