Trigger Phone Cell GSM for each cell change

Post by andi » 22 May 2015 06:14

Hi

Is it possible, to trigger each individual phone cell change with the "Phone Cell GSM" trigger? I don't like individual flows but rather collect them in one flow and use "Phone Cell GSM" conditions to distinguish.

See attached screen shot for the idea:

Perhaps this is already possible, but I tried "*" or "" as CIDs, but I got no trigger event.


Thanks,
Andi

Hello Andi,

I didn't find the possibility to trigger a flow everytime you change the cell., but it isn't neccesarry. So you already know which CID belongs to which area and you can make multiple triggers for the flow. So you have one trigger with the CIDs from the home area and one for the work area.

Hi Brain

Thanks, that's what I'm doing now. But if the CIDs change, I have to maintain two lists. Tiggers and conditions.

I have to admit, I didn't figure out how to use variables for CIDs. Maintaining the lists is not as easy as with Llama I used before.

I looked into the concept, but I don't like it. I probably do the following:

- If in my home WLAN: add all CIDs to my home cell collection
- If in my work WLAN: add all CIDs to my work cell collection

The question is, how fast can I detect, if I left my home / work WLAN?


New proposal:

- do above, as long as I'm in a meeting (calendar event), because I know, I won't leave my home / work during this time (who has meetings at home??) ;o)


Alternative:

- Beep, vibrate and show message box with new CIDs. Allow the user to add the CID to the cell collection (timeout on message box)
