Hi,

What's the 'air gesture'? Waving your hand over the proximity sensor? If yes, you could use the trigger Proximity Sensor.
Simulating a swipe gesture requires a rooted device. You could do this with an action Execute Root Command: input swipe <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2> where <x1> etc. have to be replaced with the coordinates on screen.

Thanks for your reply Martin !!

But i want to specifically find the direction of hand gesture. To be clear what i want to achieve is,

** If I wave my hand left to right over sensor i want to do one task and right to left to do another task.

I hope i explained my point clear. Sorry for my English, my Mother tongue is not English

Edit 1 : I tried the swipe root command, but i seems little slower than manual swipe. Is there any way to speed it up

Edit 2 : I don't know Automagic supports to find direction of Air Gestures / Hand Gesture for now. But I found a library which find the direction of Hand gesture. I am just post this link to share my knowledge regarding this feature,

But Martin, if Automagic dont have the above feature right now, plz plz keep in mind to add this in feature updates. Thanks in Advance

BTW, I love this app very much Keep up the good work

Thanks I'm glad you like Automagic!

I see, then the proximity sensor won't work for this case. An additional trigger could be added that constantly records a video using the front camera but this would likely consume quite a lot of battery. Thanks for the link to the library.
It's certainly possible to add such a trigger but I fear that the list of features that have been requested is already very long so it might take a while until I get a chance to look into this feature.

Some devices support an additional parameter that can be passed to the swipe command:
input swipe <x1> <y1> <x2> <y2> [duration(ms)]

Executing action Execute Root Command: input should print the possible commands and options in the log of Automagic.
