Automation

Automation is an Android app to automate certain things on your device. You can get the app from those sources:

Get it from the open source store F-Droid:
Download the APK from my server without any store
There is also the Google Play version is discouraged. See below for the reasons:

What are the differences?

F-Droid: The Activity Detection feature isn't included as it relies on the Play Services. Everything else works.
APK version: No limitations in functionality whatsoever. It won't update to newer version automatically, but in settings you can activate an automatic check for new versions.
Google Play: If you're above Android 9 location based rules don't work anymore. Also phone-related rules (calls or send sms) don't work here - thank Google for that.
Google burdends developers with more and more ridiculous restrictions every ear. I've tried to reason with them, but it fails every time. So all I can do is remove feature after feature from that version. It's also the least tested one.

Here's an explanation of the permissions.

Here are examples of some interesting things one can do with the program. Also find help for how to use the start program feature.

Excessive location checking (however battery usage is low and your data isn't going anywhere)
Several things are not working anymore with audio profiles on Android 12

No changelog for next version, yet.

In addition I have these things on the radar:

More modern GUI
Reorganize triggers and actions. Due to the increase of capabilities the overview of possibilities has suffered a bit.
