    Virtually wandering

    Thanks, I've done that - added Wait then IF after all other business completed. We'll see how that performs. I'll monitor max time it takes WiFi to connect and modify Wait accordingly. I presume having MD waiting around unnecessarily isn't a good thing.

    Virtually wandering

    I do use BT. With connect I turn WiFi off and with disconnect I remember where I parked but I am not using it to enable WiFi. I didn't consider that because in the vast majority of cases I am elsewhere when I stop. However, your statement "enable for a while" intrigues me. How do you achieve...

    Virtually wandering

    Having set geofence to 200m, macro still fails to fire because of Outside Area:Home. I'll have to go through my macros and change most of them to WiFi SSID tests. However, I normally use leaving home to turn WiFi off so the phone won't be able to use that to figure out I'm back. Guess I'll have...

    Was set to 70m, now set to 200m. We'll see how that helps.

    Virtually wandering

    I have macros which fail to trigger because of a constraint saying Outside Area:Home I want the macro to run only when I am home but sometimes it doesn't. My investigations reveal that, although the phone hasn't moved (from my desk at home) for ages, it thinks it is somewhere else. I don't know...

    Templates on phone / PC

    I'd never heard of DeX or scrcpy I'll look into them. All this because I thought there must be a URL somewhere where the templates are housed and available via a traditional web browser. I thought that then I could more efficiently scan the templates to be able to choose a canditate template to...

    Templates on phone / PC

    Thanks guys. Just installed LDPlayer on my laptop. Active screen size for me turns out to be 33cm x 18.5cm (13"x7.28') - landscape rather than portrait! Interesting. Windows Defender said it blocked certain bits relating to virtual box on my system during install. I guess I'll find out the...

    Templates on phone / PC

    But doesn't that mean I get a phone-sized screen just the same? Is there some other advantage I'm not seeing?

    Templates on phone / PC

    I have no problem accessing Templates on my phone but how do I access them on a PC. I'd rather see more templates larger if I'm home.

    Replace notification

    Success. I applied a Constraint to the Display Notification Action after first ticking its "overwrite existing" option. The constraint steps were select Notification Present select Application = Macrodroid configure Contains "unique text" To derive the unique text I turned a phrase inside the...

    Macro did not start

    As I understand you, you want some of your macros to fire on macrodroid (re)start. Macros fire when a trigger event occurs and that may not happen on startup. if my understanding is correct, you have 2 choices - 1. Create a new macro to do all the stuff you want to happen at startup, or 2...

    Replace notification

    I have created a macro which, among other things, creates a notification. This notification has a relatively short useful life and most times I tend to ignore it and forget to remove it. (so I often end up with several stale notifications.) However, when this macro is triggered again, it would...

    Geofence missing in Action

    Sorry, a geofence action makes no sense. What I should have said was Since geofence is available in Triggers but not as a condition of an IF, I wondered if there is some setting ... When I was in the company of my friend we both updated to the latest MD version. At the time it didn't occur to me...

    Geofence missing in Action

    I convinced a friend to install MD. I talked him through his first macro. Now we want to edit it. Created a geofence called Home. Added an IF clause and tried to use At Home as the condition. Cell towers is the only option under Location. So I had him create a new geofence at a local wi-fi hot...
