Toggle Between Desk & Portable

New to KM and still under my trial license and trying to see if I can get KM to replace one more piece of software (Sidekick). I work from a rMBP with an attached monitor in clamshell mode at my desk as well as sitting away from my desk. The macro that I am triying to create is something like this:

At Desk:

  • Turn off Wifi
  • Turn On bluetooth (Keyboard and Mouse support)
    Portable:
  • Turn On Wifi
  • Turn off bluetooth

While I am at my desk I have a USB device present (from the monitor) that I can use as a trigger (if this is correct).

My question is when creating the macro I assume I would use an “if then else” action and just check for the existence of the USB device to toggle between desk and portable without having to touch anything.

Am I missing something?

TIA for helping a new to KM.

No, if you already have things that can serve as trigger, you probably should use a trigger (instead of If Then Else):

When you’re connecting the device at the Desk:



…and when you’re disconnecting it:



This is, in theory. Can’t test it right now.
