Auto Respond While Driving

Download

This profile will automatically respond to any received SMS when you are driving (or moving).

How it works.

Upon receiving a text the phone will check if it is near WiFi, this prevents the phone from doing grabbing GPS Locations if you are sitting at home/office, the task checks to see if your GPS is enabled (if not, it will enable it) then grabs your current location. It will only respond to the text if your speed is faster than 5 mph. There is an additional task to convert the %LOCSPD from m/s to MPH and sets variable %LOCSPDMPH.

Need to create an additional task.

This profile calls another task called "Convert_LOCSPD_MPH." You will need to create that. The task is simply a "Variable Set" of variable %LOCSPDMPH, set that to %LOCSPD*2.23693629. Select the "Do Maths" option. This makes it easier to know how fast you are going. There should be no spaces in the formula.

Options

Near WiFi

One of the conditions for the profile is to see if you are close to your home/office WiFi. This prevents unnecessary GPS Location lookups if you are sitting at home. THIS IS SET TO MY HOME'S SSID You should modify (for your home/office) or remove the condition.

SMS to Send

This is currently set to: "(Auto) Texting and driving is dangerous. I'm currently driving (at %LOCSPDMPH MPH). Will respond to you when I can safely."

You can modify if you like. Watch out if you are a speeder! :)

Question How can I stop this profile from replying to Facebook notifications?
