Control WireGuard with Macros

[Dimlos]

It may depend on the version of MIUI, but I think it's in MacroDroid App info > App permissions > Additional permissions.

there is no "additional permissions" menu entry at the permissions menu in my os

 

[Dimlos]

Can you attach a screenshot of the App permission in MacroDroid's App info?

I will prepare a MIUI 12.5 device to verify.
It will take some time and the answer may be tomorrow.

 

[Endercraft]

of course I have,
I was able to create a working workflow in the "automate" app, because they have "wg permission" checkbox right inside their app options,
but MIUI doesn't have default android "app permissions" menu, so I can't just allow this wg permission for Macrodroid

I have another permission called run commands in Termux environment and it appears with MIUI 13 & 14.

Once you get to this screen go to App permissions and Additional permissions, it should appear there (I haven't used Wireguard at all so it may be different).

(Quoting this post)
You are in the other permissions section which is not where you want to be.

 

[Dimlos]

I can grant permissions normally in MIUI 12.5.

 

[koshak]

I don't have "App permissions" menu entry

 

[Dimlos]

Your devicePlease tell us the exact device name.

 

[koshak]

Device - mix2s, miui 12.5.1, android 10
I had to use a third-party app(MIUI Hidden Settings Activity) to get to those settings.
Now wg-up action works, thanks.
But anyway, it was impossible to do it without using a third-party app.

Have a working wireguard connection. Now I try to automate on/off. Installed everthing on the Pixel7. What I must add in the Intent send section?
Thx for helping

[Dimlos]

There is a sample macro on page 2 #40 of this thread if you would like to see it.

 

[alphabravocharly]

I used it, but nothing happend. Must I modify something?

 

[Dimlos]

If you are downloading my macro, the only thing you need to change is the local variable.
Are you specifying tunnel names in the local variables?

 

[alphabravocharly]

local variable? How? The connection named "NachHause". I musst add the name in the Extra1 {lv=NachHause}?
Thx for helping

 

[Dimlos]

Please try turning them on and off manually before controlling them from MacroDroid.
Also, please read this thread carefully as it needs to be configured in MacroDroid and WireGuard.

 

[alphabravocharly]

The config was done acc the thread

MacroDroid Settings
App info > App permissions > Aditional permissions > control WireGuard tunnels

WireGuard Settings
Three dots in the upper right > Settings > Advanced > Allow remote control apps
Turn tunnel on once manually. (approve when alerted)

And Battery opti disabled.

Added the local variable

Wireguard works fine manualy, without Macrodroid

Musst I modify something here? See screenshoot

 

[Dimlos]

No need to change the intent.
In my macro, the actions are lined up so they need to be executed one at a time.
I have not tried this macro to see if it works on Android 14.

 

[alphabravocharly]

It is working now. I don`t know why. Use Android 14 in Beta channel.
Thx a lot for your help
