Bixby Routines

[solotristan88]

Anyone tried this out yet? My wife told me about it....and it's awesome! Customizes your phone to wherever u r at. Like when I am at work...I don't want my ringer or wifi on. It turns them off. Or if your in your car...connected to your cars Bluetooth, you can have certain setting where you can have your lock screen security off and you can have your music app as one of the 2 in the corners. Or home...connected to your WiFi..it will set things however u ask it to. It really is great if you haven't tried it!!!

As someone who used IFTTT and Tasker on my last Android phone, Bixby Routines is something I am really eager to try.

Same.
I've found Tasker can occasionally be a bit unreliable so looking forward to trying a native application.

The only thing I've tried using it for is to automatically open Spotify and start playing music when I connect to my cars bluetooth but I can't get it to work correctly.

Maybe ill try to have it where it disables the security lock on my phone since Smart Lock/Trusted Places dont always work.

Has anyone found a setting to do things when NOT at a location? For example, I leave HOME and the Wifi is turned off and Volume is turned down. Currently I am using Auto Profiles app for this and it seems to be working well. If I could get Bixby to do it, I would just use it instead.

You can set the trigger to be time, place, certain app opening, wifi network, headphones, certain device connects and tons more. You just need to create a new one instead of using the ones already created.

I find it'll work for a while on Bixby Routines, then I have to to toggle it off and on again for it to work (typically a day or so if I stay at home). Definitely better than Smart Lock though

Can we take back up of routines?

I don't know for sure but if you have the Samsung backup on it does say it backs up Bixby Home. I would guess that is all of Bixby but not 100% sure.

If anyone comes up with a cool one post....I'd love to have ideas on new ones that I may not have thought of.

I only set 1 up so far and it works great. When blue tooth headphones are turned on spotify app opens up. I am looking for other ideas too

I set up a couple for morning and night times. I was testing them last night and said "good morning" and it responded with something like "it's a little late to be waking up at this hour".

Might be worth it for my work alarms

 

[jlangner]

I did one for put phone on vibrate when get to work and at 4:30pm to put back on sound. (Leave work)

Yeah I did a similar one with Buds. If they are connected then open youtube music and start playing. Since only really wear them exercising works great.

I did that too with Spotify and my buds.

I'm interested in Bixby Routines. I have about 6 Bixby quick commands set up that works wonders. Curious about Routines tho.

I wish I could have a routine for max media volume when connected to car Bluetooth but of course the infamous Samsung volume warning cannot be defeated... or at least I don't know how.
