Locale 1.0 supports plug-in conditions, and a sample plug-in is available at www.twofortyfouram.com/developer.html that detects when the display is on or off. You’ll have to compile this from the source.

This can be accomplished with the app “Text widget (donate)” which contains a Locale plug-in. Essentially, that app create a widget on the home screen that can have its text content set by a situation within Locale.

This is implemented by the Locale Button Plug-in, which can be found on the Android Market by choosing “Get Plug-ins” from the menu of the Locale home screen.

This is a great idea and we’ve been looking at it for quite a while. I agree it could be quite useful when combined with Astrid integration. For example, a location-aware reminder would be really useful a few minutes after arrival, rather than right when walking in the door.
A key requirement would be that the delay should be very consistent and predictable. For example, if I ask for a reminder 30 minutes after I get home, it should always be exactly 30 minutes after I get home. Thanks to Locale 2.0’s instant location, we are now be able to meet this requirement.
I have a few open questions about this as we go forward with investigating how this might work:
- Should there be delayed conditions? Or should this be implemented as delayed settings? (The end result would be the same, but each requires a different mental model) -… more -

I suggest this: if Locale is run (regardless of situation or condition) natively, let it be white. But if a plug-in is utilized, let the icon shift to the plug-in icon. Most plug-ins have descriptive icons; such as the calendar plug-in being a calendar icon, the synch plug-in being a synch-symbol etc.
Seeing as it's plug-ins, this should be relatively easy to implement.
I agree. I use conditions as screen orientation (phone turns silent when upside down, for meetings) and such a lot that are quite sensitive. Now, if there would be a slight delay, say only 10 seconds or so, it would be awesome.
Since most situations require Locale to react instantly, I understand this could be a bit hard to implement in an easy and logical way. But how about just adding an "if X" in "Y" seconds parameter to the conditions, that's optional?
Or even better, seeing as there's a lot of requests here that would make Locale to complicate, make it a basic, "simple" version and a more complex "advanced" version, much like JuiceDefender applies.
