Automate and lock screen

[aqu...@gmail.com]

Hoi hoi,

I've been using Automate for a while and it is awesome - I've got three flows running constantly as security programs on my device.

One of these flows shows a notification in the Notifications bar, and when I click on it it asks for confirmation on whether I want to proceed. If I click 'Yes' it then proceeds to take a picture using the back camera and then sends an MMS/SMS to whoever it has listed (for emergency purposes). It then resets the flow.

Another flow, which is very common, is the intruder camera which takes a photo using the front camera whenever the password was incorrectly inputted.

And my last and best flow, the SMS Commander. Allows your phone to execute commands that are sent via SMS. In each SMS message is a password and command. First it parses the message to test for the password and then it executes the command.

I'm working on another flow which allows me to use NFC cards as commands. However, I'm wondering if there is a way to use flows from the lock screen? For example swiping an NFC card on your phone to execute an action while the phone is locked. Is it possible? Would be very useful!

Thanks.

NFC may not work when the device is locked, it's an Android "secure" feature:
