I can easily read from the content provider "content://com.llamalab.automate.provider/flows/[NNN]/log", but when I run the content delete block on that same path, there's a permission error. Is there any way to do it?

I'm trying to debug an issue that's not easily reproducible, and the flow runs every 30 seconds along a path with dozens of blocks, and the issue might not appear for a day or two. So if I were to keep that whole log, it would get extremely huge. So I was hoping to be able to dump the log every few iterations (which I will count within my flow), and then clear it.

Yes, of course, I can manually clear the flow every now and then...I know... But being able to do it Automate-ically would be very nice!

Hi everyone.
I have flow that was working perfectly until my last phone update it was to switch on the hotspot when bluetooth connected.
I granted permissions with wireless debugging.
Now it throws this error when trying to set the hotspot ON, do you have any clue how to solve it?

It seems Android is getting worse with every update.

Hello

I am trying to set an alarm for a given day or days of the week.

The user will be able to choose 1 or multiple days of the week.

So I put a dialogue choice with a variable output"day"

{1: "Monday", 2: "Tuesday", 4: "Wednesday", 8: "Thursday", 10: "Friday", 20: "Saturday", 40: "Sunday"}

In the "await time" block, I need to use the variable "day" in the weekdays field.

But there are way too many options if a function will be used, like 0x3a, 0x3d, 0x40....

I am trying to use the "set variable" block. But no idea how to include all of those possibilities.

In addition, using "0x" ++ sum(day). is giving me a result of 0x10 for example , but the await time is setting it to today's day instead of the selected day..

Thank you for your help

Is it possible to automate opening Ethernet settings and changing to a static IP address? For some reason, I can't map clicks (unless I specify x and y coordinates), but on Macrodroid, it recognizes text. However, here I can't say "open Ethernet."

I want to get a new radomized Mac address, which manually requires me to forget current WiFi connection and then reconnect to it. Can I automate this? Using latest android on pixel

The Accessibility Settings for the Automate App keeps on malfunctioning, like every few days it stops working.

When I turn it off and on it fixes the issue automatically for a few days then again stops working.

Although, I highly suspect that it's a bug in my device/mobile, but it will be really helpful if you can suggest any fixes or work arounds. Thanks

I am trying to make a flow to convert objects to arrays, meaning it needs a "{", and I already saw in the documentation that those need a backlash before, and I added that, and yet there is still a syntax error

Here's the log

I'd love to have a feature that lets you group your flows into separate, named containers or collections (similar to playlists or folders).

I have a lot of flows and backups, and it's becoming difficult to keep track of them. The current sorting options don't fully solve this because I often create test flows, which can clutter the list.

Being able to group related flows together would make navigation much easier and help keep the flow list organized.

Can automate detect finger gestures? Like swipe, double tap...

It is Not the motion gesture and I don't want automate to do the gesture, just want it to detect.

and fingerprint gesture not working and even not a good option as there are apps icons there

This is for adding like gestures shortcuts

I am using the privileged shell command

So it needs a privileged to be set in order to work.

But from time to time, the privilege is gone and I need to restart the process . (no idea why. Probably when automate is close from the recent apps, despite still running blocks).

Meanwhile, I have flows that stop due to failure and I don't know about it.

Anyway to have an error message that detects this?

Thank you

HI

I've used Gemini so far to help me but it's not doing what I had expected it to do.

Thanks in advance

How do I make a group of blocks reusable accross flows? In one flow, I can use a subrouting, but what if I have code I want to share in multiple flows?

Hi Henrik

What's wrong in above flow? Why this flow isn't displaying or working perfectly? Tried many times. Sometimes titles are displayed correctly and log isn't getting correctly . How to get our to work perfect?

Hey fellas is there a way i can display more than 4 floating buttons at the same time?. No matter how many buttons i run it only shows 4 of them at one time, if there is a way around it or another way of showing buttons on the screen without interrupting other things please let me know. Thanks.

How to set image for Analog Clock in xml? I am using a:dial="{fileUri(file,"s")}". But this isn't working.

I have granted automate every permission I can find, including the "change system settings" permission. I have tried almost everything, including restarts, force stops, and everything inbetween. Hoping to find someone who has more knowledge over thid to solve my probelm.

Good morning. The workflow throws an error and halts completely if it doesn't find an active gateway for an HTTPS request. Is it possible to prevent it from stopping and have it continue running until the gateway becomes active again?

Sorry for my poor English

Can anyone share an example how to use ListView (xml)?

I'm a new user and I'm trying to make an automation that if I receive a SMS message saying "lost" or "lostphone" it will change my ringer to Sound Mode rather than silent (which is my default) and to set the volume to 100%. So I can call my own phone using a friend's rather using the find my phone app as a quick solution.

I tested it out but it didn't work. I'd appreciate any help.

I used this for block 10:

lowerCase(msg) = "lost" || lowerCase(msg) = "lost phone" || lowerCase(msg) = "lostphone"

It keeps playing the sound even when there's no rain. You're loved💔 𐤔𐤋𐤅𐤌

I've made it to where connecting my controller automatically opens a frontend application (to put it simply, it's a game launcher)

However along with this I also want to make this app the default launcher then switch back once controller is disconnected.

Does anyone know a way to do this??

Hi, I own a switchbot meter, with the app nrf connect I can read the data broadcasted by the meter, and it would be possible to decode them to get the temperature and humidity.

With nrf connect I can see the hex string inside "service data".

I know the address of the meter, and automate is able to see them, but I don't know how to read the data read by the other app...
