Replacing switching move mode with Easer to Automation / Problem with both

Open vsatmydynipnet opened this issue 11 months ago • 1 comments

For a long time I was running Owntracks on LineageOS/rooted switching move mode with Easer as written here

https://github.com/owntracks/android/issues/1096

I switched to monitoring 2 when leaving the home wifi and to 0 if connected to home wifi.

Now I am working on a Pixel 8a running GrapheneOS (Android 15) and Easer stopped to work using the commands below. The commands

am start-service -a org.owntracks.android.CHANGE_MONITORING --ei monitoring 2

works on TermUX without the device beeing routed. The Easer setup does nothing. So I tried to install

https://f-droid.org/de/packages/com.jens.automation2/

and add a perAction startService but also this does not change the move mode. Is there any known problem on Adroid15/GrapheneOS with automating switching the move mode? Unsure I enter stuff there correct.

Thank you for any hint.

Start

am start -n org.owntracks.android/.ui.map.MapActivity

Stop

am force-stop org.owntracks.android

Change Mode

am start-service -a org.owntracks.android.CHANGE_MONITORING --ei monitoring 2

For Automation:

Method to select application: "by action" Select start type: "by startService()" Package name: "org.owntracks.android" Class full name: "org.owntracks.android.services.BackgroundService" Activity/action name: "org.owntracks.android.CHANGE_MONITORING" Parameter type: "int" Parameter name: "monitoring"

And then add the appropriate int parameter value.
