Locale Cell-Plug-in


ABSTRACT                                            

This is a condition plug-in for Locale v1.0 or later.

It allows you to trigger location conditions based on gsm-cells. So battery is saved because no WLAN or GPS  acivity is required. The accuracy depends on regional gms cell infrastructure. However in cities is much more precise than locale's internal pure cell based location condition which is limited to 2000m radius.

FAQ                                                         

What is a cellgroup?

A cellgroup specifies an area. That area can be very small (just identified by one gsm cell) but also very big (identified by many gsm cells). It's your choise. So you can create a cellgroup that represents your home having three cells underlying in worst case (your home is in between three cell towers und so your phone is always oscillating between that cells) but you also can create a cellgroup that represents the way to work having all cells underlying that are on that way.


How to create a cellgroup?

To create a cellgroup you click the button at the bottom of cellgroups view. The cellgroup detail view is opening. Here you give a name to the new cellgroup and specifiy the period of time as long the cells your phone is logged in will become added to the current cellgroup.


How to setup a locale condition out of cellgroups?

Every cellgroup has a tri-state toggle button (disable, inside and outside). You can combine as many cellgroups to one condition as you like by using the toggle buttons. All specified inside and outside cellgroup conditions must be valid that locale condition gets triggered (boolean AND).

How to delete a cellgroup?

To delete a cellgoup press long to cellgroup item in list and select "delete" at context menu.

What means the right aligned number in cell list?

It's a kind of history. So one means that cell is currently aktive while e.g. the number 10 means that there were 9 cells beeing active after that cell itself was active.
