Automation Page (No-Code Overview)

⚙️ Automation Page — No-Code Flow Builder

The Automation Page in CellHasher Control is where you can create powerful no-code automation flows that run ADB commands, taps, swipes, installations, and much more — all visually and without writing a single line of code. It’s the heart of automation for mass provisioning, setup, and device control across single or multiple Android devices at once.


🧩 Overview: Visual Node-Based Automation

The Node Palette on the left contains drag-and-drop nodes you can use to build flows:

  • 🟩 Flow Nodes — Start and End blocks (entry and exit points).

  • 🟦 UI Actions — Simulate user input: Tap, Swipe, Type Text, or Press Keys.

  • 🟪 ADB Actions — Run custom shell commands, install APKs, or copy text to clipboard.

Each node is configurable and can include delays, arguments, or custom variables. Nodes are connected together to form logical automation chains that execute step-by-step on selected devices.


🖱️ Click-to-Create Automation (Live Mirroring Integration)

When a device is mirrored on the right-hand side, you can:

  • Hold Ctrl + Click anywhere on the mirrored screen. → A Tap Node is instantly added to your flow with exact coordinates captured.

This makes it easy to build flows live while seeing what’s happening on the actual device in real-time — ensuring perfect alignment of taps and actions.


🚀 Example Use Case: Mass Acurast Setup (Lite Edition)

One of the most common uses of this page is for Acurast provisioning, using the built-in Install-Provision-AcurastLite Flow.

This flow:

  1. Installs the Acurast Processor Lite APK directly from GitHub

  2. Sets the device clipboard with the Acurast Work Profile QR code

  3. Launches the Acurast app using an ADB Shell Command

  4. Taps on-screen buttons in the correct sequence to complete setup

This pre-made automation is designed for HMD Vibe devices — the same model included in the Cellhasher Classic + 20 Device Bundle ($1799). Because other Android screens may vary slightly in resolution or layout, users may need to tweak tap coordinates for other phone models.


📦 Flow Loading & Format Support

You can load and run automation flows in several formats:

Format

Description

.JSON

Full automation flow with metadata, node structure, and connections

.TXT

List of ADB commands (one per line)

.CSV

Command lists with arguments, durations, and delays

When you click Load Flow, you’ll see the Load Automation Flow dialog: Here, choose your saved file (e.g., Install-Provision-AcurastLite(HMD-Vibe).json) and import it directly into the visual canvas.


🧱 Common Nodes & What They Do

Node Type

Purpose

Example Usage

🟩 Start / End

Defines beginning and end of the flow

Start → End

🟦 Tap

Tap on-screen coordinates

Tap login button

🟦 Swipe

Swipe between two points

Swipe up to scroll

🟦 Input Text

Type text input

Paste credentials

🟦 Key Press

Simulate button (e.g. HOME or BACK)

Navigate app screens

🟪 ADB Command

Run any ADB shell command

am start, pm install

🟪 Install APK

Install APK from file, URL, or GitHub

Pulls from Acurast/processor-lite

🟪 Set Clipboard

Copy text into device clipboard

Paste Acurast QR JSON

🟫 Wait / Delay

Add time between actions

Wait 10s after launch

Each node has configurable pre-wait and post-wait timings to ensure stable execution across slower devices or network delays.


🧠 Example: Acurast Flow Breakdown

Below are screenshots from the Acurast Lite provisioning example included with CellHasher:


🖼️ 1. Visual Flow Canvas

Here, we see a complete flow with:

  • Start → Shell Command → Tap → End

  • Real device mirror visible on the right for testing each step

This visual layout shows the exact sequence of actions to automate full setup.


🖼️ 2. GitHub APK Installation Node

This node auto-downloads the latest Acurast Processor Lite APK:

  • Repository Owner: Acurast

  • Repository Name: acurast-processor-lite

  • Branch: main

  • Keyword Filter: processor-lite-1.19.0-canary

It handles fetching and installing the correct version from GitHub automatically.


🖼️ 3. Clipboard Setup Node

The Set Clipboard node inserts your Acurast QR data directly into the device clipboard. This data is used by the Acurast Processor app to complete the work profile provisioning. You simply paste your QR JSON here — it will auto-copy into the phone during execution.


🖼️ 4. Flow Loading Window

The Load Automation Flow window shows how you can import or create flows. Supported formats: JSON, TXT, CSV — allowing easy editing or migration between systems.


🖼️ 5. Executing the Flow

Once a flow is ready:

  1. Select devices at the top

  2. Click Execute

  3. Watch the steps run in sequence on all devices

Progress indicators appear per device, giving clear feedback for each automation stage.


⚙️ Multi-Device Execution

The Automation system supports multi-device execution:

  • Select 1 or more devices (even all 20 in a cluster)

  • Execute the same flow across every device simultaneously

  • Each node runs in parallel, isolated per device context

This allows large-scale provisioning or mass configuration in just a few clicks.


💡 Tips for Creating Your Own Flows

  • Use Ctrl+Click on live mirrors to build accurate Tap positions

  • Add short Wait nodes between steps (2–3s) to prevent timing issues

  • Save reusable flows to your Library for quick access

  • Adjust Tap coordinates if using devices with different resolutions

  • Combine with Terminal scripts for advanced hybrid automation
