Is there an app (or any other way) that will shutdown or reboot an android phone without root access? thx
AFAIK to execute any shutdown command you need to have root permissions. Scheduled shutdowns also. 'or any other way'.... press and hold power button. lol
@Pasta88 Well, you can do both via adb (without root access), but you have to trust the PC first on which the adb binary is being executed.
With Code: adb devices you can check if the adb has connected properly. It should list your phone. You should have USB debugging enabled on your phone. (ADB = Android Debug Bridge)
It can be done using AutoInput plugin for Tasker. This plugin simulate taps on the screen. Although a little hard work is required to find out X & Y coordinates of right locations on the screen to tap correct buttons.
TouchTask is another alternative to AutoInput. Instead of using the X & Y coordinate, it might be able to click on menu items by text
