    huge MD battery drain

    I would still say that this is rather unusual. What you can try is to force MacroDroid to stop. I mean force stop it from the system settings, not just close it. Then reopen it and grant the lost accessibility permissions if you used them. This might help in cases where a service is going into...

    Can you use macrodroid to start an app in its service mode

    You just touched my prayer, my sweetheart, my darling, my heartthrob. You will be torn apart into thousands of pieces :mad::confused:😏🤣🤣🤣. I partially agree. I mainly suffer from inconsistencies both in UI and logic, but it's also important to note that MacroDroid in its base is over a...

    MD with 16% of battery use

    Force stop MacroDroid from system settings and then open it again. You will need to enable MacroDroid accessibility services again if you use any of them, but it might help. It's a bit like restarting a computer.

    Can you use macrodroid to start an app in its service mode

    If MacroDroid is forcefully closed in the background you should try setting it as device administrator app. That may or may not help.

    Did you try to log the text before and after manipulation into the user log to see if it really isn't or is manipulated correctly?

    Can you use macrodroid to start an app in its service mode

    Give a specific example. This way it's not clear what exactly do you mean. Being pesimistic I can tell you that MacroDroid has next to no control over services of other apps, unless you are rooted and can execute some shell commands. The best I can think of is MacroDroid launching the desired...

    Magic text is not an ideal place for trigger output variables.

    This is not fully relevant, rather a thought. At one point I think MacroDroid will need to get out of the clutches of keeping full compatibility with older macros/data and make major incompatible changes to the "engine" that were much needed and let the older macros use the older "engine" as a...

    Magic text is not an ideal place for trigger output variables.

    A lot of MacroDroid triggers like SMS Received Trigger or Notification Received Trigger rely on injecting their output variables into magic text. The functionality is simple (It isn't. I know Jamie). If a trigger exists in a macro, its output variables can be used and appear in the Magic Text...

    Need help with macro

    I am sorry, but I am pretty sure this is not possible. If the act of you touching the screen while MacroDroid tries to perform the UI interaction blocks MacroDroid from reliably doing so, there's nothing much else MacroDroid can do. It's really not a tool dedicated for games interaction automation.

    Need help with macro

    You can use the new "Block Screen Touches" action. Enable the function by action at the start of your sequence of UI interactions and the disable it with the same action again. As far as I tryed UI interaction still works even when the screen is blocked, but I need to note it doesn't fully block...

    Yeah, this is frustrating and did happen to me many times. You are using a live server to see your changes, or just opened the html file in your browser? You can always try to clear all cookies, or hold shift and click reload for hard reload. I remember sometimes I couldn't get rid of the cache...

    [Discussion] Send SMS (which is not 100% reliable) alternatives that don't require UI Interaction (which has it's own issues)?

    Did you try to work out your problem with ChatGPT? Sometines it's unhelpful, but sometimes it does help. I had little to no experience with Linux commands, but was able to install drivers for a Wi-Fi adapter thanks to ChatGPT anyway.

    Man unless you are sending bank codes, passwords, extremely personal info or whatever I think you should be fine.

    That depends on if MacroDroid is even able to control your garage door. What all ways of remote control is allowed by the garage door's manufacturer?
