Project summary
Shepherd is an advanced scheduler that can do a wide variety of tasks depending on a number of triggers.
The project will aim to improve on the capabilities of Shepherd. I plan to add more ways of triggering an action and more actions to be taken when the triggers is meet.
Progress
I have planned to write a couple of plug-ins for shepherd as well as to get the core and GUI in working order.
| Name | Progress | Category | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| WLAN SSID | 90% | Trigger | Check if a WLAN SSID is nearby |
| Location | 45% | Trigger | Check if the device is in a certain location by using the GPS and Cellular towers |
| Calendar | 90% | Trigger | Check if certain events are happening |
| Change profile | 90% | Action | |
| Turn Radio on/off | 50% | Action | Turn both WLAN and 3G on/off |
| Change Telepathy status | 0% | Action | |
| Secure device | 90% | Action | Lock the device in the same way as the menu option |
| Display a notification | 90% | Action | |
| Core | ~50% | Shepherd | Finish the core |
| GUI | 5% | Shepherd | Finish the GUI |
The part that is missing from most of the plug-ins is to adopt it to the shepherds current API, the actual functionality is already there.
