Favorite smart actions???

[epiphone74]

OK what im looking for in this thread;

Type of smart action (reason for it)

Triggers

Actions

Sofar all the threads in here have been complaints, bug fix, or feature creep.

Lets hear what you have created and how well it works for you....

Driving.

Triggers- car dock navigation

Actions- turn off wifi, turn on Bluetooth , turn on waze and slacker radio

And I use the night mode one too.

I use the WiFi on at home rule:

Trigger: Location (home address)
Actions: WiFi on

This turns on my WiFi when at home and turns it off when I leave.

Great guys thanks for posting

Any one else using smart actions for power saving, meetings, sleep modes, list goes on and on.. Keep it up!!!dancedroid:icon_ bananaancingNexus

Haven't really explored the other options. For work reasons I may have an action do auto text reply to incoming phone calls when Bluetooth is enabled. I haven't needed the power savings so far with the Razr Maxx....the battery is already plenty.

I modified the built-in "Battery Extender" smart action to the following:

Triggers: Display : off , Charging:Not Charging , Motion Detector:No Movement
Actions: GPS : off , Cellular data : disable

Disabling cellular data when not actively using the phone probably doubles my battery life. The trade-off is that it takes the phone about 15-20 seconds to enable the cellular radio and connect to 4G. This mostly useful for when I'm at the office and the phone is just sitting on my desk. Sometimes I disable the smart action if I'm in a situation where I want to have immediate access to data stuff.

I use Llama for other automation stuff. I have it set to lower the ringer volume and notification volume when at work, and increase these volumes when not at work. I also have it set to connect to wifi at home (and a couple of other places where wifi is available).

I that disabling the cellular data when not "actively" using phone???

 

[mattman5000]

Yes. I meant to say "when not actively using the phone". Thanks for pointing that out. I just edited my original post and made the correction.

 

[epiphone74]

Wow only 8 posts.. must not be many users of Smart Actions.. Cmon folks there has to be more then that...

Any one else??

Home Rule to toggle Wifi on when at home, off when I leave.

Sleep Rule turns off ringer and notification sounds at 10pm, back on at 5:30am.

Both work very well. Funny, I hadn't paid attention to the fact that Smart Actions were only on Moto devices til I was showing and explaining it to someone with a Galaxy S3 today. Oops........

Here are mine. I have had a Razr HD for about 2 weeks now. These allow me to run 24+ hours normally and almost 60 hours with light usage... Really...

Vehicle Mode: I am wondering if there is a way, via Smart Actions, to turn on Vehicle Mode using the double-tap feature of the Home button? I know that there is a smart action available for when the phone recognizes a blue tooth device, but I am not interested in using a blue tooth earpiece at this point. Otherwise, at this point, I am not using any smart actions.

smart actions

great post about smart actions. do you have any more. and new user on maxx hd. need quick tutorial on how to set up smart actions. thanks.

 

[epiphone74]

The tutorial is in the app.. If you can think to automate a task smart actions can help to a degree.

Always leave home for work at the same time. smart actions can start nav program.. put in car mode etc etc

the lists you see above are what users are doing with them.. triggers actions are there and what they are for.

Experiment remember you can always turn off an action if you dont like the way it behaves.. modify it try again.

Cheers
