Did someone manage to switch ambiences via the Situations app? IMHO it would be logical, to use Situations for ambience switching... I found a thread on that topic here on TogetherJolla, but the suggested python script does not work (at least on 1.1.9). Edit: the mentioned thread wad https://together.jolla.com/question/88643/question-how-can-i-switch-ambiences-from-terminal/

I'm posting an answer, just for completeness. LVPVS has provided a method via dbus-send in the question mentioned above, which works from the terminal. I created two scripts from that solution, one for each ambience I use. However these scripts cannot be called directly via the "command" method in Situations app, nothing happens. One needs to call a command like "bash -e /home/nemo/sw-amb-silent", works fine that way. Thanks all
@cemoi71: I have created a script named /home/nemo/sw-amb-harmony with this content:
dbus-send --session --type=method_call --print-reply --dest=com.jolla.ambienced /com/jolla/ambienced com.jolla.ambienced.setAmbience string:'file:///usr/share/ambience/harmony/harmony.ambience'
And also a similar script for the sailing ambience (replace "harmony" by "sailing" in the script and the name). Make the scripts executable. Then in the Situations app, add under "Command": bash -e /home/nemo/sw-amb-harmony respective bash -e /home/nemo/sw-amb-sailing, when you want to switch ambience. Note: this only works for the default ambiences, not for ambiences that you created yourself!
