Tasker action on the alarm, ie awakening

UPD: a standalone application and a profile for audio playback

UPD 2: on new bracelets / firmware / Mi Fit is not working.
Similarly, work on the ancient versions colored bracelet and applications.

Introduction
It was previouslyofferedthe idea of ​​automated actions when identified bracelet awakening.
Alas, he did not communicate such information. You can only use the alarm signal (both types) as a similar event.
After all, we can assume that you are already awake.

This problem is more acute when using a smart alarm when the wake-up time is inaccurate.
For example, the vibration of the bracelet can be completed ringtone to wake up for sure.

How it works and important information
1. To cover different alarm time starts at 4:00 monitoryaschaya task because it makes no sense to keep the cycle of all time
> You can run it in the evening in its own way, for example, if you have activated flight mode
2. Cleared debug log file/sdcard/mili_log.txt
3. Includes Bluetooth if it is turned off - is important for the flight mode

Further actions are performed in a cycle, every minute
At these regular battery awakening affect very few
Over 9 hours of problems in flight mode, the phone does not sleeponly 10 minutesIt is 2% of the time and not a single cent battery.

4. The contents of the log is read to a variable% log
5. It is searched textonDeviceStatusChanged: 16or17(Intelligent and an alarm clock)
6. If the text is found, ie, local variable% wake1it contains - vibration and stop cycle
> This action must be replaced by his: play a sound, turn off the flight mode - all you have to do upon awakening in the morning
7. If the text is not found: to wait for 1 minute and then check the log

Installation
1. Download Profile:Attached fileMi_Band_Wake_Action.prf.xml(2.7 KB)
2. Copy it to/ sdcard / Tasker / profiles
3. Tasker>tap on tabProfiles>Import>Mi_Band_Wake_Action
4. Replace action 7 on the right, as well as the correct start time monitoring
> To trigger an alarm clock better use a separate profile

Yeshe useful:obtaining bracelet statistics for use in Tasker
