Feature request: proximity sensor

Open simmons opened this issue 13 years ago • 0 comments

A user has requested a proximity sensor feature for Valence, similar to the one in Hippo Remote. I'll copy the request here:

I have recently switched from iOS to Android. One application I uses a lot under iOS is Hippo Remote, so I have been looking for an equivilent app under Android.

Valence seems close, but it is missing one feature - proximity sensing. With Hippo Remote, when I put the iPhone face down on the table, or into my pocket, it uses the proximity sensor to know this and turn off the screen. This lets Hippo Remote remain active and linked to the VNC server, and as soon as you pick up the phone you are ready to go.

Is there any chance of adding this feature to Valence?
