I propose to create video tutorials or documentation to explain the various features of MD with practical examples.

I remain of the opinion that our macrodroid can be valued as it deserves.
there is too little knowledge of this wonderful app, even from some insiders who gravitate to the world of home automation technology and Android apps. I have noticed that several experts in the sector always recommend using home automation systems based on the relative protocols and hubs, certainly for ease of use, but I don't know if you will agree with me by limiting their potential because they are used in this way they always remain closed systems. to themselves. thanks to the enormous potential of the macrodroid I would like to go much further and therefore deny the detractors or those who downsize ideas and possible uses of ignorance. I am sure that if we join forces in a common scenario we will be able to do something great together, which cannot make us regret the use of the various iftttt and tasker the first has been paid with a subscription therefore usable by a few more expensive ones, the second more complicated to use. at this point I would like to give suggestions to the developer, forum administrator and users with the most skills to create targeted tutorials on the most complicated features to use, with practical examples, I am convinced that it would help a lot to understand and optimize the best use of MD. this can be done in part by looking at and studying some user-created macros, but what I said I think ultimately is better for everyone. for example, it would be nice to understand how to use the plugins to integrate with sharptools type md, which I did not understand if it is free or paid or usable only with a subscription? being able to use md with all its features, making our ideas and projects much more usable, compared to closed systems for exclusive use with hubs. furthermore I would like to be able to use md in interaction with alexa and interface directly to various types of sensors and possibly also through proprietary protocols and hubs. what do you think? hello let me know.
sorry for my bad English

There is a Wiki in the left hamburger menu from the home screen of MacroDroid and a troubleshooting section. I've been making videos for a while: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCc5UKUrdrjfxKx5L509b2Dg

Any macros made by Lawsonator are me.

congratulations you are very good.
for the moment on macrodroid I have not seen better guides and tutorials.
the problem is to understand how it works, having no programming basis.
I wanted to ask you if on a pc based on windows 10 or possibly linux you can emulate android and allow the correct functioning of all the most important functions without impediments.
I would like to be able to create a small home automation station and connect it to various sensors.
it's possible to do it ??
hi let me or let me know mirrorless greetings

The short answer is yes. However, you might need to consider it is meaningful or not.
For small tiny environment, it is enough to use Google home, Amazon alexa or Apple HomeKit working with few IoT units. A bunch of products are sold for years.
If you don't satisfied with that, you can introduce environments based on alternative platform standards such as smartthings, openHAB or Home Assistant.
Of course MD can assist to and make relations with them as a Input device, as you know, but it is an option for experimental users, not for majority, basic use cases. Even replacing entre functions of an Input device is not easy, assisting its few functions via speciftc api is much easier for MD. Even If you pay great efforts, majority might not get any benefits.

As my opinion, no offense, no negative to you, MD is not suite for normal home automaton center. Basically the goal of the rich interactive experiences with human friendly Input/output device conflicts the goal of "poor" with macro automation. It is similar to GUI vs. CUI. One of the main purposes to introduce MD is that do everything without any interactions.

I recommend you to gather information and learn about not only MD basic itself but also various current home automation standard structure and each solutions' strategy before dreaming. I understand Italian mind and culture, but feel you a little over fascinated. Both MD and home automation are not brand new,but maturing technology. If you got enough knowledge, you might change your mind.
