    Great app.. Works exactly as described including in background. I tried several other apps for this and they all had issues. The UI is very intuitive. I use this to start my Tasker built picture displayer on my Pixel C tablet. It's Tasker integration with the notification (intent) was well documented within the app.

    This app used to work flawlessly but on the new versions of android it stops detecting even with all battery optimization turned off

    Works good, 99% of the time. I use it with Tasker and Klwp and the integration is fab. Need to set it up a bit, but it's easy to do. Only small issue is with the intent to turn on the motion detector, can't get it working. Have to launch manually (by Tasker), so no biggie. Intent to turn it off and receive the broadcast is working. Would be a 5 star if this got fixed, but still recommended as is.

    Does just what it says and pairs well with Tasker and Automate, but setting it up can be a little advanced
