Automagic Flows & Widgets

Michael Balzer edited this page Jul 22, 2025 · 4 revisions

Sadly, the awesome Automagic App no longer exists. You can use a combination of Tasker and KWGT (Kustom Widget) to achieve similar results.

Automagic for Android was a very feature rich yet simple to use automation and scripting tool. As it also allows to create custom widgets with a builtin editor, it's a good base for custom OVMS extensions.

See https://automagic4android.com/en/ for details.

Automagic can export & import all script and widget definitions.

Base flows & widgets

  • OVMS.Base.xml
    • Flow "OVMS.Update": basic Intent listener, reading extras into Automagic global variables
      • As soon as this Flow is activated (and the OVMS service broadcast as well), it will populate the Automagic global variables automatically. Open the variables list from the Automagic menu to see the values.
      • Hint: you can trigger your custom flows by global variable change, and custom widgets can use global variables directly.
    • Widget 1: a very simple status display looking like this:
      • Widget1 screenshot
    • Widget 2: a neat status display looking like this:
      • Widget2 screenshot
      • …and reacting on charge state etc.
