Powy actually relies on screen on/off events. If you still cannot trigger a shortcut you should try increasing the configurations on total/individual times in Powy preferences.NOTES- For the tell me the time shortcut to work you need to have a text-to-speech (TTS) engine installed (for example Google TTS). The language used is the current language used in the device and the voice used dependes on the TTS you currently have installed.- Camera shortcut will only work on Android versions (including) Jelly Bean and above.- Should work on any device from any brand (e.g.: Samsung galaxy, s3, s4, s5, Google Nexus 5x 6p, Huawei, HTC, Motorola, Sony, etc).- If you install Tasker after Powy, you'll probably have to reinstall Powy. This happens because of a known Android bug related to apps permissions.- Powy has no relation to Tasker development. Tasker task shortcut is simply a third party plugin.Have any suggestion or [email protected]
