Great to see you working on this masterpiece again.

The NFC functionality has taken ProfileMatic to a whole new level of usefulness. I'll have to donate another beer soon.

As great as PM is, there might be some room for improvement. I have a couple of suggestions for rules and actions:

Rules:

- When on mobile data.
- When NOT on wlan or NOT on mobile data
- When charging

Actions:

- disable/enable screensaver
- launch/close application(s) from a list of installed applications.

The connecfion rules I mentioned are for my personal needs and could be handled by my script, but I can't figure out how to test for the active network in python. In other words, not too important.

The actions on the other hand could be very useful for everyone. An NFC tag on a car holder would launch Drive, Music player, activate Bluetooth and disable screensaver (for the music player). When the phone is picked up from the holder the reverse would happen. I know all of this is possible with scripts but this would make it a lot easier to set up for everyone.

(edit: beer money sent, don't pick an expensive bar...)
