    Need suggestions to go about a macro...

    Yeah I see how you maybe get around it but I don't know if I want to have the beacon all the time... Seems like a security/privacy risk to me. But yes it could work that way I guess. I managed to get it going using IFTTT though and it seems decently efficient, even if using a 3rd party service.

    Screen on/off permission request every reboot

    I started this thread ages ago and never really replied... Sorry. I switched to a Pixel 6 and never had this happen so I blamed the S9. I also have an S20 and I can confirm it does the same exact thing: I'll turn on accessibility svc, and it will work for a little bit, but then out of nowhere I...

    Need suggestions to go about a macro...

    Ok yes but do you keep it on all the time? Even when you don't need to tether? The way I was trying to get it going was turn on the beacon only when it didn't have connectivity, this telling my main phone to turn on the hotspot when it detects the beacon. If it's on all the time, my main would...

    Need suggestions to go about a macro...

    How do you get UI interaction to work if the screen is off? Or when the phone boots for that matter? My Pixel 6 won't even get messages after rebooting until I unlock it once at least, let alone MD doing anything...

    Need suggestions to go about a macro...

    Like I said I tried, and it works great on the receiving end, but the only way I found to trigger the beacon on the sending side is through UI interaction, which doesn't work if the screen is off. If I found an app that can get intents or a MD internal process to do it, it would solve my issued...

    Need suggestions to go about a macro...

    Hi again everyone. I've tried many ways around a specific automation I'm trying to make work, but have hit nothing but dead ends. Maybe someone will think of something else... Situation: I have two devices, one of which is a work issued managed phone. I only use it for work, and it doesn't...

    Discovering an app intent

    Thanks for the suggestions! Seems to do the trick, but unfortunately the app I was hoping to use doesn't support intents ☹️ I'll keep looking!

    UI Interactions not working when device locked

    Lol. I'll keep testing but as it stands, the timeout really hangs if the screen is off...

    UI Interactions not working when device locked

    Hehe you wouldn't but that's the idea. I tried to set a dialogue option to pop up, but wanted it to default to a value if I don't make a choice (ie if screen is off) but the countdown doesn't start. It's a different problem but I'm trying different things to make this #$&@&$! macro work 😁

    UI Interactions not working when device locked

    Lol I am an idiot! In my defence -not really- that popup doesn't come up every time ;) Now I will nitpick a bit here but is "screen on" the same as "unlocked" in this case? I'm assuming so, because I did think this could be the case and tried it screen on but on lock screen with the same...

    UI Interactions not working when device locked

    Hi everyone. Sorry for the noobish question but I have a macro that I can only make work with a UI click in app. Works flawlessly when the device is unlocked/screen on, but doesn't when it's locked. I get a feeling this is Samsung's squirrelly shenanigans (S20 Ultra on A12/One UI 3.1) but...

    Discovering an app intent

    Hi there. I'm pretty new at MD and although fairly tech savvy, I'm not a programmer at all. I've done some googling with no luck, but is there a way to determine what intents can be passed on to an app (other than asking the dev, which hasn't worked)? I just need to toggle something when it...

    Disconnect a non-audio Bluetooth device

    Well I don't want to count my chickens yet but seems like I found a way: I added a Secure Settings action to disconnect the car (device) from Bluetooth and it worked flawlessly the 5 or 6 times I tried! Of course Secure Settings is third party and I found it wonky in the past but this time...

    Disconnect a non-audio Bluetooth device

    Aaah shoot. I'll try to do it through UI but I don't like using those too much usually. Thanks for the reply!

    Disconnect a non-audio Bluetooth device

    Hmmmmm yes I suppose. I'll try it.

    Disconnect a non-audio Bluetooth device

    Hi all. So I'm trying to control my car's BT connection, specifically disconnecting it if I choose to (it's unbelievably buggy and has a ridiculous range to boot). I've seen the warning in MD saying since it's not an audio only device, disconnection may not work and sure enough, it's not...

    Screen on/off permission request every reboot

    Hi everyone, I'm getting the same "error" notification every time I reboot my phone (Galaxy S9), where Macrodroid says it requires a permission for Screen On/Off - Accessibility required. Thing is MD has all those permissions already, and nothing seems to not work. I only have O e macro...
