The UI seems overwhelming to a noob like me. How do I make it so that the screen doesn't turn off when a certain app is open with a battery limit?

As I also just installed the app, I also still need to understand how everything works.

Here's what I've found out so far:

The actions, e.g. "Keep screen on" are to be specified in a "Profile" of your choice, e.g. create a new, empty one and specify the action "Device parameters - Screen" -> "Keep screen on": "on".

To apply this "Profile" based on the app and battery level, you have two options:

Either create an empty "Event" where you specify both, battery level and foreground app (application sensor).

Or: Create an Event for the app with medium priority and assign a high priority to the standard "battery low" event, e.g. 10. Also: select "Keep screen on": "off" in the standard battery low Profile.
