How to Use TC AWU (Beta)
Overview
Total Control's AAI integrates automation and Android's accessibility features. It provides a simple syntax query language through FindNode to search for nodes on the screen and supports AAIS, a small script built on top of AAI's FindNode.
There are 2 ways to obtain the permissions in Total Control:
Accessibility Over USB (AOU): This is a complex method requires the devices to physically connect to PC via USB, device driver, adb connection, developer option, USB debugging.
Accessibility Without USB (AWU): This method is simple, all users need to do is grant Accessibility permission to our software. No PC is required.
AOU is the preferred connection method, and the newly launched TC AWU is still in beta version.
Step 1: Download and Install
1. Open Total Control on your PC and enter connection help.
2. Click "TCP - More options".
3. Click "Select mode".
4. Select AWU (Beta), scan the QR code with your Android device to download and install the Total Control app.
5. Go to next step and use your Android device to scan the QR code to download and install the TC AWU app.
After completing the installation, click the "Back" button at the bottom of the page to return to the TCP connection page.

Step 4: Run the Script
TC AWU can execute scripts independently of the PC.

You can also create shortcuts for scripts to make execution more convenient (the method may vary for different devices).
Step 5: Exit AWU Mode
If you want to switch to AOU mode, exit AWU mode first and then reconnect the device to the computer.
Exit steps: Open the TC AWU app on the device, click the "..." icon in the upper right corner, and then click "Exit".
