Assistant effect

[ˢᵒⁿᶦᵈᵉ]

Any way to activate rainbow colored effect on s series when using Google assistant or bixby? Similar to the iPhone effect or the circle the search animation. I like that

Try using Routine.

If Gemini open, then Effects -> Edge lightning effect once

Choose the lightning effect you like.

Only works when the app is opened, not when I side button is pressed and held or when I activate voice command.

Hi ᦔꪖડꫝ,

You're looking to trigger the Edge Lighting effect when you press and hold the side button or activate the voice assistant (Google Assistant or Bixby) rather than just when an app opens.

Unfortunately, Bixby Routines doesn't directly support the Edge Lighting effect for triggers like pressing and holding the side button or activating voice commands. However, there are some workarounds you could try to achieve a similar result:

Workaround: Using Bixby Routine with Edge Lighting for Side Button Actions.

You can set up a Bixby Routine to trigger Edge Lighting when the side button is pressed in combination with a voice command, but this might require some creative thinking to tie the action into a routine. Here's how to set it up for pressing the side button to trigger Edge Lighting:

Set a Routine for the Side Button (Bixby Voice): Go to Settings > Advanced Features > Bixby Routines. Tap + to create a new routine.

If (Trigger): Select Button Pressed (but this works with specific Bixby actions and won’t directly trigger Edge Lighting with a normal button press).

Alternatively, Set the trigger for an action like when Bixby Voice is activated (for example, when you press and hold the side button to launch Bixby). You could use this as the trigger:

Action: Edge Lighting: Under the Then section, select Display > Edge Lighting. Choose the lighting effect you want.

Unfortunately, the side button press to activate Google Assistant cannot directly trigger an Edge Lighting effect via Bixby Routines. But you could set up a separate Google Assistant voice command as a trigger. For example:

1. Open Google Assistant.
2. Say something like “Hey Google, activate Edge Lighting” or another custom phrase.
3. Set a Bixby Routine that uses Google Assistant as a trigger.

While these workarounds may not be perfect (especially for voice or the side button press), they will allow some level of dynamic visual effects like Edge Lighting to be triggered based on certain conditions.

If Samsung adds more flexible triggers in future updates to Bixby or their routines, this might become easier to set up.

Thank you.
