Is this Wi-Fi public? PPP supports only public Wi-Fi, which has configured SSID name and is returned by Wi-Fi scanner.
In dialog is not displayed. Use Re-scan button. Maybe after end of scannings will be displayed.

I currently install updates manually since the playstore version isn't updated. Is there any reason this is not on F-Droid? I know it's on a compatible repository but I don't trust other sources (especially ones who admit their security is lower than the main repository).

Unless I don't understand something correctly, PPP is not on the F-Droid repository but on the IzzyOnDroid repository which is compatible with F-Droid. That;s my issue. I don't trust alternate repositories and would prefer it if PPP was part of the main F-Droid repository.

Quoting from IOD's page:
Further note the inclusion policy of this repo (see the link above) is slightly less strict than F-Droid’s.

PPP must be in IzzyOnDroid because in it is Samsung Edge panel and this uses proprietary Samsung library "Look".

All others in PPP is open-source:
- Location - used is standard Android Location API, not GooglePlayServices
- Maps - used is osmdroid library, not Google Maps
- Crash reports - used is ACRA library, not Google Firebase Craslytics

And F-Droid uses its own app signature (F-Droid compile applications from its source code and singing it with F-Droid signature) and for this reason is not compatible with others sources (GitHub, IzzyOnDroid, Galaxy Store, Huawei AppGallery, APK Pure, ...). PPP has my own signature.

Ok, thanks for clarifying that.
I've read the info about F-Droid signatures and I don't mind about that. It's just that I have F-Droid for other apps too and it'd be nice if PPP was in there too but I understand why it can't.

    I have no financial interest in this product and I do not know the dev beyond the support I receive. I am simply sharing a product that I find useful. When I see an exceptional app, along with a responsive dev, I want to provide support. Also, with the sort of people here at XDA who love to tinker with their phones, this app is right up your ally.

    The Plus is an enhanced version.. Donation is optional but well worth it. Again, I like to support devs who make good products and are responsive. Phone Profile Plus is open source, and continues to be refined. Some time ago, I set out to look for an app to manage volumes and other settings based on conditions or manual trigger. I evaluated A LOT of apps. This was the best.

    It is an app that allows you to create profiles that set various volume levels, wifi, BT, display, GPS, and a lot more. Using events (triggers), you can automatically apply the profiles. There are also functions that are root-only. It is very sophisticated and feature rich, but does have a learning curve. Once you figure out how it works, a lot of cool things can be done.

    Among many other automated features, I use it to turn on auto rotation when a certain app is in the foreground, then turn off auto rotation when those apps exit. I do the same for volume levels with specific apps.

    Enjoy..

    Edit: Thread title change and information update per dev of PhoneProfilesPlus.

    In PPP GitHub RADME.md is, how to add repository to F-Droid application:

    Because in PPP is non-opensource library for Samsung Edge panel, used must be F-Droid repository, which allow also applications with non-opensource components.

    Also is more better to add application to this repository, because apk signing key is author key, not F-Droid key. And for this is possible to use also another application stores and sources, apk is compatible across all sources.

    Och sorry, I'm found bug in logging. Media volume value is not logged. :(

    But:
    Profile Home: media volume change is enabled, media volume was changed.
    Profile Outdoor: media volume change is enabled, media volume was changed.

    Not any error is generated for change of media volume.

    I'm noticed in log swith between profiles Home and Outdoor. Why?
    Also one reboot of device. Why?

    For which profile not working change of media volume?
    Profile Home is manually activated? Profile Outdoor is also manually activated? Or used is event for activation of these profiles?

    Yes, profile will be activated manually and end of event will be ignored.

    "duration profiles" added as suggestion. Maybe will be implemented in winter time :).
