status query

[ocm]

Hello everybody.

I was using AndroidLost for a longer period of time, when I heard about Automagic and Tasker.
I tried both but I really like to play around with Automagic.
Using Androidlost there was an option where you could get an detailed Info about the status of the phone like
connected to Wlan, mobile Data, Cell ID GPS on/off, BT on/off and some other Info.

Now my Question.
Is it possible to get this Information in Automagic ?
THX a lot
Regards Olaf

Hi

You can query a lot of information using conditions (like condition WiFi Connected, Phone Cell GSM/CDMA etc.). Please also check the help page of each condition since many conditions and actions provide local variables to the flow with additional information. There are also some actions to explicitly initialize variables (e.g. Init Variable Location, Init Variable Call Log etc.).

Regards,
Martin

Hi ocm,

that was my first question when I moved from Tasker to Automagic.
Sometimes (quite often actually) some system variables become available only when you use some conditions. Like Martin said, for example, you can not check battery level unless you use a condition like (battery level belows X?) and then just put two links ( for TRUE and FALSE cases) to the next block. After that you will get a battery level variable available.

It seems strange but it works and you'll get used to it, eventually
