Smart Actions Enhancement Requests

[rhizomaticon]

I thought we could begin a thread strictly for enhancement requests in hopes we may see these get into the app down the road.

My first one is the blinking LED notification - can we get this as an action to turn it off? I would love to have this in my Sleep Smart Action so the light doesn't wake me up at night (it can...).

Thanks!

Since this is a requests thread I'd like to add the following:
I would like to see a "NOT" function.
i.e. I am NOT near my home or work Wi-Fi radios and would like this trigger to turn on cellular data.

Two great suggestions. Thanks for adding use cases to go along with the suggestions this helps clarify the idea. The "NOT" function is a popular request and the team is aware of it.

Ditto on the "not". I can think of so many uses for that.

How about this. I don't want to leave my wifi on all the time but it's the only way smart actions knows I'm home. I want smart actions to turn on my wifi when I arrive home but it's not an option.
Thanks!

Pookie,
This is another very popular request, the Smart Actions is aware of this.

I have a few enhancement suggestions:

1. Restore the Call From trigger (instead of the VIP Caller action).

2. More Audio Control - I currently use Audio Manager Pro to set all of my volume levels for different things (work, bed time, in a meeting, etc). I'd love to use Smart Actions for this but it can only modify the Ringer Volume, not the Notification, Media, Alarm, etc.

3. Widgets - I know Smart Actions is supposed to automate tasks, but there are times where I would want to manually activate/deactivate a rule. For example, my boss often calls impromptu meetings, so it would be nice to be able to quickly activate the "Meeting" rule with the touch of a button (even though there would be no corresponding Calendar event).

+1 Sometimes I like to watch videos when I go to bed and the ringer and notification volumes go down as scheduled, but not media which will waken my wife, because I always forget to turn down the media.

mswguitar,
1) can you give me a bit more detail on use case, don't fully understand. Do you mean "Incoming Call" or something else?
2) Captured!

My wife and I both have the RAZR Maxx. She got hers a few weeks before me and had an older version of Smart Actions (a 1.x version I believe). I setup a rule for her that would cause the phone to ring loud whenever my son or I called. I believe this was based on the Incoming Call trigger, and I don't have this trigger on my phone. Instead, it's been replaced with the VIP Caller "action". To me, it seems much more logical to have an Incoming Call trigger that would allow me to do certain actions based on who is calling.

Thanks!
