Ifttt is awesome! I was wondering if there is a similar app for mobile devices that I can create rules like "if I am at home (judging by WiFi) then ..." or "if the battery falls below 20% then turn off BT"?




+1 for Tasker.

And to Locale above, Tasker actually has support for Locale. The things you can do with those two apps combined is absurdly awesome.


Have you noticed any significant battery drain? I'm not using either because of my already short battery life.


Locale sucks battery quite a bit simply because it's a location tracking app, with all of the consumption that entails. It works for me though because my phone, if not attached to me, is charging on my desk at home or at work.

Tasker much less so.


For Android at least, check out "Locale": https://market.android.com/details?id=com.twofortyfouram.loc...


Location integration would be amazing. Assuming I left my living room speaker on 24/7 (which is totally fine), I'd love to be able to get Rdio spinning up some tunes as soon as I get home from wherever.


If you were up for it, you could automate this with something like X10.
