    Hello there,
    I kind of got it that AutoInput doesn't really deal well with the secured lockscreen, the activation of the latter blocking AutoInput.
    My question is: does the AutoInput see a phone unlocked via SmartLock just as it would be securely locked (with PIN, password, etc)?
    Thanks!

    Actually the latest version does unlock a secure lockscreen :)
    Try it out here

    Could you give me an example of using that action?

    I am using SmartLock and I'm looking to deactivate the lockscreen altogether (SmartLock turnes secure lockscreen to swipe lockscreen which annoys me). So I created a profile with the condition "Display State On" and action "AutoInput Unlock Screen". Did I do it right?

    Thanks!

    Yeah, I think that should work. Did it work for you?

    It doesn't seem to work...
    At first the trigger was the State "Display On" then I realized that maybe I should have put the Event so I changed accordingly.
    The %aiscreen variable seem to be set to "on" and the %aiunlocked to "locked", respectively.
    What am I to make of this?

    PS: the phone is a Nexus 5 with Cataclysm ROM (Android v5.1)

    No, it doesn't seem to be doing anything...

    Not thing I didn't understand though is the VERY IMPORTANT paragraph in the Unlock Screen action. Why would somebody put a System Lock action at the end of the task that starts with the Unlock Screen?

    2 reasons:
    - if your screen is locked in the first place, it's reasonable that when your task is done you want it to be locked again, right? :)
    - if you don't your system may become unstable. It's an Android issue that I can't do anything about.
