Cannot make Flow work in background

[Ron Lokey]

Noob to Automate here.  Very basic flow consisting of error trap -> battery level -> publish to MQTT --> delay .> loop back to top.  Running app on cheap Chinese tablet.

Works great when Automate is in foreground.  Publishes battery level every 2 minutes. But when I put my main app in foreground, it seems like Automate flow quits.  I have basically all privileges granted and turned battery saver off.  Read the link I found in other topic on the subject and still no joy.

My guess is Automate is intended to run in background, so I am definitely missing something.

Any help would be appreciated.

Indeed, ensure to disable all "power save" features, see: https://llamalab.com/automate/doc/faq.html#automate_not_running

Maybe you could post pic of 2 minute timer block here and set Automate notification on if it stay there should work normally.
