Honeymoon phase was great
Initial 5 star —> The wifi trigger to auto enable on specified network names. Get into work, stays awake on my desk all day. On the rare occasions I forget to turn it off (or forgot to turn off the previously used application I had for this, I leave to go home, turns itself off, computer sleeps, battery isn’t dead the next day (not to mention saving the precious cycle on the battery).
Update to 4 star —>There is only one real complaint I have so far. If you use the trigger to enable when plugged up to power, it does not seem to let me manually override the state of it. Example: I have my computer plugged up and manually disable amphetamine. My preferred response would be that it stay disabled until the next trigger (say unplugging power and replugging). Instead the app immediately re-enables since the criteria is being met. The ability to force disable would be amazing.
Update to 2 star —> The override issue also rears its head if you unplug the power adapter which trips to end the session. I go to manually re-enable as I am only moving conference rooms, but the program refuses to allow it since there is no power connected. The rules set seem to be in full time enforcement instead of only reacting AT the point the triggering event occured. Having to navigate settings, or even close the app, to manage whether or not your computer can sleep makes it MORE EFFORT to get the desired result than doing it 100% manually.
If i make a manual change and then plug in or remove power, I understand the triggers configured would (and should) override, but should not persist as manual changes are made AFTER the fact to support the one-off instances you need to adapt to day to day circumstances.I will give the app a go here and there and raise my rating again if improves, but for now the issues have far outweighed the benefit.
