[Q] Downtime, Priority Mode, Sleep Mode with Moto Assist in Lollipop topic

Hey guys,

I don't own a Motorola device running Lollipop, but I'm curious as to how Moto Assist handles the Priority Mode in Lollipop.

If I'm not mistaken, in KitKat, Assist's 'Sleep Mode' will switch the phone into Silent Mode, depending on the time you've set. Also, you get the option for certain contacts to be able to get to you while the Sleep Mode is on (with the choice of None, Starred Contacts, Everyone in your phone book). I can't remember if there's the option to let Messages from the white-listed contacts to ring during Sleep Mode period, or even an auto-reply for all calls/text rejected during Sleep Mode.

I'm curious… how does Moto Assist handle this Priority Mode/None/All found in Lollipop?

• If I'm not mistaken, if you've set Sleep Mode in Assist, it will turn on Priority Mode. Are you limited to the same options, as to how Contacts white-listing are handled (choice of None, Starred and Everyone?). Does Assist offer a more granular control or finer tuning in comparison to the native Interruption settings? Is Assist not a replacement for the native Priority Mode, and it only acts as something that turns on Priority Mode (separate from the native Downtime setting)


• Setting up Meeting Mode, will also turn on Priority Mode. Is the Auto-Reply feature still there? Same with the above point on whitelisting contacts/notification types.


• Is this conflicting with Android's own/built-in settings in Settings > Sounds and notifications > Interruption. Particularly the type of notifications that are let through (Calls, Messages, Alarms), and which contacts are being let through? (None, Starred Contacts Only, Everyone)

I guess if you can upload screenshots/video how Assist looks in L, that would help answer some of the questions I have!


Thanks!
