Where are all the situations gone? Long time passing...

Hi folks!
After update 2.1.1.x the situations app could not switch the Wi-Fi any more. According to the developer, it was because third-party developers with this firmware version is denied to access these functions. Now, after the next update to 2.1.2.x situations not even seem to be able to activate the flightmode, which reminds me of times when firmware 1.x.x.x was still marked as beta, no situations app for sfos was released and i had to switch everything by hand. That's also the reason why i marked this this question as bug, but jiit seems not to like this. ;)
So Jolla team, are there plans to be able to run timed or otherwise controlled tasks within the ambiances? Or is there anything else I can do to keep situations working, maybe with shell scripts?
EDIT: I just found >>THIS<<. So as workaround, i set the commands for enable/disable flightmode for user nemo within the sudoers file and call it within situations as a terminal command.
This is how I fixed the wifi and bluetooth issues. You will needto install some sofware from OpenRepos though...

All you need is sudo (which can be installed form the mer-tools repository, see https://together.jolla.com/question/44012/how-to-use-sudo/ ), then you can add a sudo rule for nemo which allows to change / toggle connectivity via a command. I use this to disable WiFi when I'm away from home.
