    Good day everyone,

    I am pretty new to this, but I encountered an error, which I don't seem to be able to fix. Maybe someone can help me.

    What I want Tasker/autoinput to do:
    I have an Android Wear smartwatch and I want to toggle the always-on/ambient mode during the night to save battery.

    Therefore I want to have tasker start the WEAR OS app, scroll down on "Mehr" (more in german), click on "Erweiterte Einstellungen" (advanced settings in german), click on "Display immer eingeschaltet" (display always on in german) and get to the homescreen afterwards.

    The task:

    Smartwatch Nacht (28)
    A1: Launch App [ App:Wear OS Data: Exclude From Recent Apps:Off Always Start New Copy:Off ]
    A2: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Text
    Value: Mehr
    Action : Scroll Forward Timeout (Seconds):1 ]
    A3: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Text
    Value: Erweiterte Einstellungen
    Action : Click Timeout (Seconds):1 ]
    A4: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Text
    Value: Display immer eingeschaltet
    Action : Click Timeout (Seconds):1 ]
    A5: AutoInput Global Action [ Configuration:Action: Home Timeout (Seconds):1 ]


    It displays an AutoInput action error (action timed out) after the scrolling down section. So the click on first the text doesn't seem to work.

    Can you find, what's wrong?

    Thanks in advance!

    Regards,
    Steffen

    Hi there! You want to click the word "Mehr", correct? :) If so you need to use the "Click" action and not the "Scroll Forward" action. Hope this helps!

    Hi!
    No, I want it to click on the text "Erweiterte Einstellungen" which is a scroll down when you open the Wear OS app. I just chose the word "Mehr" for AutoInput to use it to scroll down. That works just fine.

    The next step is failing, although the text that should be clicked ("Erweiterte Einstellungen") is visible after the scrolling.

    I hope you can understand what I mean.

    Oh, I see. Did you try using Easy Setup to create that particular action?

    Yes I did, both easy and manual.
    I tried to duplicate the step, that wouldn't work:

    A3: AutoInput Action [ Configuration:Type: Text
    Value: Erweiterte Einstellungen
    Action : Click Timeout (Seconds):1 ]

    which made the task work. However I don't know why :D
