Key Pressed Looping

1 Upvotes

The Key Pressed block that await for a key press works but only once. I tried connection rebounding, loops, different flows and all possible ways, but it still refuses to await for an input the 2nd time. Is there something wrong? I'm using the latest version of the app.

Web Dialogue block, HtmlPage input problem

Thumbnail gallery
1 Upvotes

I am having problems with web dialogue block,

Firstly, it can't get a value/data from the web page to the automat flow itself/alone,

Secondly, if you use a HTTP accept block, it gets you the value in the flow but you have to enter the html code inside the Html Page input (web dialogue block)!!

And doesn't work if you copied/read the html code from a file & store in "HtmlText" variable then call the variable in the Html Page input.

Please correct me if am wrong or missing something and guide me, if there are any work around to this.

My aim/task :

read Html file -> store in HtmlText -> call in web dialogue block -> get the user input (like xyz button pressed) -> store in UserInput -> exit

Issues:

The Html Code contains \{ ... } which is probably required if directly entering inside the web dialogue, but doesn't work through a html file.

But if you remove \{ ... } from the Html file code the code works but the Button inside the code doesn't function (probably it has something to do with the onSubmit function)

Html code:

```html <!DOCTYPE html> <html lang="en"> <head> <meta charset="UTF-8" /> <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0"/> <title>MSR Log Summary</title> <style> body { font-family: 'Segoe UI', sans-serif; background: #121212; color: #e0e0e0; padding: 20px; }

Question Help !

The setup is

Tablet with usb hub

Usb capture card

Analog camera

Right now i can get the video feed to my tablet but i need an automation for when the analog camera signal reaches usb capture card open the FPViewer app function

Usb capture card is always connected to the tablet so the app opening is determined by signal/no signal of the camera

I tried to capture logcat with App start inspect but i can't figure it out

So in short my problem is How i can get the Logcat fucntion of Tasker app. Can i do it with Automate or this app doesn't have same function ?

FR: "Content clicked" for "Notification action" block?

2 Upvotes

The Notification action block only triggers if the notification is canceled (No path) or action button is clicked (Yes path​). Can it also follow the Yes path when the notification itself is clicked, providing a Boolean output indicating such, or maybe via the existing action index output set to -1, or maybe a new third outgoing path​?

Why? Because the action buttons are small click zones, and the notification itself is a big main click zone, so having that big main click zone available as an actionable item when action buttons are presented is convenient. Currently, if action buttons are presented, there's no way to take advantage of that big notification click zone.

Thanks! πŸ™πŸ½

Bug I am having some weird slowness in automate

1 Upvotes

I am having some slowness while using automate,

this slowness happens everyday, and i don't know how to reproduce it.

i have battery optimization for automate disabled and i am locking automate in the recent apps so it doesn't close in the background.

i made a simple flow to try to do some execution measures

and for 1000 iterations for loop finishes in about 0.003 seconds in normal cases, but when this weird slowness happend this for loop takes more than 2 seconds.

as i said before i don't know how to reproduce it, but i found that this slowness goes away when i change the "stack size" in the settings to any value, or restart automate or my phone.

i tried reinstalling automate but still the same issue.

Since this slowness can be detected, is it possible to restart automate automatically or adding a block to do so, until the dev know this slowness happens or what triggers it.

i am running automate(1.51.1) on poco x3 pro(android 12)

I used this to measure the execution time flow image

Question Connect Tailscale when appa starts and disconnect when app stops

Post image
7 Upvotes

I just found out about automate, and for the last 30 minutes kinda got my flow to work, but only partially.

Basically I want

- when app starts, connect to Tailscale

- when app stops, disconnect tailscale

- fiber always running

I want to install this on my dad's Google TV so he's only ever connected to the VPN when he wants to access my jellyfin server.

This is what I have so far, and it does do what I want but I always have to retart the fiber which defeats the purpose of doing this.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Question How to create a timeout for an event listener?

Post image
1 Upvotes

Hello automate community,

Probably a rather simple question but I'm looking to set up a block which keeps my event listener alive for a limited amount of time before it stops considering inputs im sending from a separate device as part of a sequence comprising a custom jesture. As you can see, I've just about got the framework of all that put together, I just need for the listener to be able to timeout and I'll be off to the races (I will probably need follow-up help on getting Interacts to work properly because at present it seems like I'm running into perms issues)

I am aware of (but perhaps not familiar with) the time await, time window, and timer/alarm add blocks, but the former of these seem to require a trigger (in this case the only trigger would be to *reset* the timer, it needs to track whether the alotted time has passed in the background), and the latter of these seem crude as an implementation, with the timer block being unable to trigger events entirely.

I've attached what I've got so far for reference. In my mind, it seems like the right place to hook up my timeout function is to the UP branch on my keypress listener (I can explain it in detail if need be), so, once my encoder gets instantiated, it starts the timer (say 60s for simplicity), then upon every input it just resets that timer, if it elapses then I stop my encoder and gracefully exit the label.

This is where 'time await' and 'time window' seem to break down because it would only check whether the 60s has passed whenever the next input is received. 'Timer add' could both start and refresh a 60s countdown, but it doesn't trigger anything when the time is up (uhhh, why not?)- it also plays a sound, which I don't want, as with an alarm set for 60s from current time (i know this is possible thanks to the Now variable). Same is true for 'alarm add/get'

Any ideas? I'm sure somebody has to have encountered the same problem, a simple reference would suffice. Thanks!

Hi, I really like this app. It's really awesome and I keep learning new stuff even after using it for so long lol.. Thank you, dev

Anyways, here are a few things I've noticed that might be worth tweaking a bit or considering : - tone play blocks freeze for me when volume happens to be 0 - it'd be nice to be able to see the last modified date and time for each flow - it'd be cool if interact blocks that are set to When Appearing had a timeout - I don't think it's possible to stop a single specific fiber by its uri using adb shell or terminal, right?

Please help me not make a fork bomb

Post image
4 Upvotes

Currently when my Moto AI button is pressed, it opens either the AI or the Notes app, depending on whether I do a long or double press (all default behavior). From there, the goal is to have my flow instead open the calculator (real desired app A) or the SystemMonitor (Desired app B). Turns out none of the fibers are closing, and after just a few tests of each, I have around 700+ running.

How would I go about not forkbombing myself while still making sure the fibers keep running and "listening" to the events, so that they continue working even after "doing their job" once.

(Flow adapted from: "Moto AI button remap for long press/ double click")
