Dim the screen and shorten the timeout when the battery is low
The last 15% goes further with a dimmer screen that turns off sooner. Rulomi changes both when the battery gets there, and puts them back when it's charged above it again.
How do I dim the screen automatically when my Android battery is low?
When an Android phone drops below 15%, Rulomi lowers the brightness and shortens the screen timeout, then puts both back once it's charged past it. To set it up, install Rulomi from Google Play, type the sentence below, check the routine it shows you, and enable it.
When battery drops below 15% set brightness to 30% and set screen timeout to 30 seconds, and put it back when it endsRulomi's on-device parser understands this as written, so it works with the AI planner switched off.
What Rulomi builds
- WHEN
- The battery drops below 15%
- THEN
- Set the screen brightness to 30%
- Set the screen timeout to 30 seconds
- AFTER
- When the battery is charged back above 15%, brightness and the screen timeout go back to what they were.
You see this on the review screen before you enable it, and nothing runs until you do.
Access it asks for
- Modify system settings, for brightness, screen timeout and auto-rotate.
Rulomi asks for access per routine, when a routine needs it, not all at once when you install.
Variations
When battery drops below 20% set brightness to 20%, and put it back when it endsStarts earlier, and dimmer.
When battery drops below 15% set brightness to 30% and turn off auto-rotate, and put it back when it endsTurns auto-rotate off instead of shortening the timeout.
Good to know
- It fires once on the way down and rearms when the battery is back above the level.
- Setting the brightness turns off adaptive brightness.
