About this app

This app uses the Device Administrator permission.

This is an automation application which makes it possible for your device to execute commands automatically. When you create a command you can specify which actions to execute when a given event occurs.

The application is an alternative to other similar applications to automate tasks, handle profiles, etc.: Tasker, AutomateIt, Llama, Locale, Profiles, ...

The application allows you to specify more than 170 event types and execute more than 150 action types; furthermore, all event and action types can be parameterized, making the app even more versatile, and its functionality may be expanded in the future.

E-Robot can handle events which are location-based, time-triggered, application-handled, and more.

Features:
- More than 170 parameterized event types (location-based, application-based, scheduling, ...)
- More than 150 parameterized action types
- Conditions can be used for both events and actions
- Variables and expressions
- Execute and evaluate JavaScript
- Positioning is based on cells, geo coordinates or wi-fi networks
- Command execution can be event-triggered or manually using shortcuts
- Manual confirmation can be set for command execution
- Efficient operation, there is a Performance screen to check it
- Full backup and restore possibility
- History and Debug of command execution
- 3rd party support: Elixir 2 profile activation, Locale action plugins, Ipack icons

The wi-fi-based location detection is a perfect usage of the new "Scanning always available" feature of Android 4.4 even if wi-fi is disabled.

This free version contains ads but there is a Pro Key which hide ads and removes this restriction.

Ratings and reviews

Needs to be updated for recent Android: (1) Doesn't autostart when phone starts. (2) Can't backup commands. Also, an "if ... then ... else ..." control structure would be useful and I think it would make E-Robot easier for users to program. Also, users might need advice to disable Android's "battery optimization" of E-Robot so Android won't halt it. E-Robot is a very powerful app for automating control of one's phone. It would be sad if it's not updated to handle minor changes of Android.

I was using this app on my blackberry priv for work, mainly to have it automatically turn on the WiFi hotspot whenever I left home. It worked beautifully on that, but I've since been "upgraded" to a blackberry key2. It doesn't want to toggle the hotspot on/off on this phone. So far, I haven't figured out why... All the other settings seem to work fine.

Wow! Incredibly powerful tool. Much more intuitive than similar applications in the okay store including the paid ones. Very helpful instructions but still a steep learning curve for someone like myself with no understanding of how computer magic works.
