Hi there,

I wanted to know the following about your app. Hope you will reply.

** Can it be used to switch off a SIM card at a particular time and then switch it back on at another time on a daily basis. I wanted to switch off SIM 1 at night (say 8 pm) and switch it back on on in the morning (say 9 am). If so, can you pls. elaborate on the steps as to how to do so. My Lenovo K8 Note is on Android 8.0.

Thanks and Regards,
Arvind Gupta

Click to expand...

There's no custom block for it, neither is there any public API for Automate to use. The only way is to use the Interact touch block to simulate the click to do so in system settings.
