For the “Wifi configured network is available” option – does this switch WiFi on periodically to see if a network is available? And if so, how frequently does this occur?
No, it doesn’t toggle wifi. On Android 4.3 or newer there is a “Scan always available” option at System Settings / Wi-Fi / Advanced. If you turn it on then it can scan networks even if Wi-Fi is off.
This event is created for that this purpose.
It can be used on earlier versions too but Wi-Fi must be on.
Hello! Your app is awesome. I have a quick question. How to use a variable’s value in a condition?
I have one command that sets variable “Var” with one of two logical values, “True” or “False”.
Another command executes an action. I want to set a condition to it, so this action is only performed when the variable “Var” is “True”. How to do that?
Click on the action, select Set condition. Click on the pencil next to “And operator” or “No expression” and select “Change expression”. Then select Constants / Variable value.
So you can set any boolean expression as a condition and you can use variable value too.
Nice, it works! I always stopped at the last step, because I was confused that the expression evaluates as “value: [variable name in text]”. Now I see that once everything is applied, the whole condition indeed evaluates as true/false after all. Thanks!
I am new user of e-robot. I am facing a strange issue (Nexus 4 – Andoriod 5). I am using a location event to set my ringer to vibrate when I enter my work location. The command fires ok and ringer is set to vibrate as I can see the Andorid Vibrate icon in the status bar but when I receive a phone call, the ringer goes off of Vibrate mode automatically and phone start ringing on the volume at the last set level.
Hello Barta,
Ignore my previous post. I think the issue was becuase of another similar product “Sound Profile” installed on my phone. Even though I had force stopped it, it was interfering with Ringer function of phone. I have uninstalled it. Hopefully that should sort it.

Ah, I wasn’t aware of the “configured network” setting – thanks!

Is it Android 5 related issue?.
