is it possible to use macrodroid on raspberry pi?

[mirrorless m43]

hello everyone, I wanted to ask you if there is a not too complex method to use macrodroid on a raspberry pi or similar device?
I would like to be able to create a home automation system and other particular uses using the very ptentissimo macrodroid.
hope there is way hi let me know avchd

I haven't tried it myself, but this looks interesting:

Thanks a lot works also with old Raspberry Pi first release?

I have no idea.

sorry to bother you, but may i ask why you want to do it through a raspberry pi, and not just through an android phone/tablet/emulator?

i am currently using an android emulator to run my smart home through macrodroid, and ive never had a raspberry pi, so i would like to know what (if any) are the advantages of using a raspberry pi?

Thanks a lot works also with old Raspberry Pi first release?

I just want to inform you that will it will be super slow if you have some budget low end rasberri pi. Make sure you have at least 1.5GB of RAM and install the newest android possible. You maybe thought that older Android version are less demanding, but it's actually opossite and newer Android versions run better on rasberri pi. I have Android 10 on rasberri with 800mb of RAM and as you can guess it's barely usable, but enough for my use.

... why you want to do it through a raspberry pi, and not just through an android phone/tablet/emulator?

My interest in this is because I have a use for a device to run a single MacroDroid macro in a hot environment in a hot climate, so hardware that does not have a built-in battery is very preferable.

scusa se ti disturbo, ma posso chiederti perché vuoi farlo tramite un raspberry pi e non solo tramite un telefono / tablet / emulatore Android?

Attualmente sto utilizzando un emulatore Android per eseguire la mia casa intelligente tramite macrodroid e non ho mai avuto un Raspberry Pi, quindi vorrei sapere quali sono i vantaggi dell'utilizzo di un Raspberry Pi?

Il mio interesse in questo è perché uso un dispositivo per eseguire una singola macro MacroDroid in un ambiente caldo in un clima caldo, quindi l'hardware che non ha una batteria incorporata è molto preferibile.

Ho letto le tue risposte con grande interesse.
Sicuramente dovrò scartare l'idea di utilizzare la prima versione di lampone perché ha un hardware molto scadente.
Per Windows 10 quale emulatore Android consigliato?
Quali sono le tue esperienze al riguardo?
Inizialmente avevo pensato di utilizzare il lampone come centralina domotica.
Ma da quello che ho capito puoi anche usare tranquillamente un emulatore Android su Windows 10. A
proposito. Utilizzando macrodroid su smartphone o tablet Android ho letto che ci sono problemi legati a google play per riconoscere le app in uso. per problemi di privacy?
Volevo chiederti se questo problema può essere superato in autonomia?

ehm... i am using "NoxPlayer" emulator on windows 10, the only issue i have with it, is that it sometimes resizes my macrodroid widget buttons and makes them bigger, so they don't fit into their tiles anymore... and i have to restart the emulator to fix it, for this reason i will probably get a tablet when i find one for a good price, because it's pretty annoying. but apart from that everything works perfectly.

i'm sorry, but i don't really understand the last part of your post, i used google translate but it is not very clear to me what you are asking:


A about it. Using macrodroid on Android smartphone or tablet I read that there are problems related to google play to recognize the apps in use. for privacy issues?
I wanted to ask you if this problem can be overcome independently?



all i can say is that i have no problems...

The resize may be fixed if you use another launcher such as Lawnchair. Maybe if new launcher doesn't work, try LDPlayer emulator. There are also instructions for LD in device specific thread

thanks for the suggestion, but i want to use only square home launcher, because of the windows style tiles.

i have also tried LDplayer before but that had an issue with the text to speech in my language, which was important to me and it works fine in NoxPlayer.

 

[mirrorless m43]

Thank you for the answers.
I had thought of raspberry as it is small and consumes little and I would have liked to use macrodroid to create a sort of home automation station, but I am afraid that even with the latest version it is not so easy to use and that the hardware is not powerful enough.
what devices do you use?
I would have liked to have been able to use the raspberry because it has a small size and very low consumption, perhaps powered by a small photovoltaic panel for outdoor use.
I'm curious to understand if with an android emulator in windows environments you can use all the features of macrodroid?

Yes however, you'll need to use one with root. LDPlayer and Noxplayer have root, off by default though it's easy to enable.

Why not use an old phone?

devices im using so far are just a bunch of tuya wifi plugs/bulbs/motion sensors/door sensors and 2 IR blasters, i'm still looking for a way to control my central heating and get the indoor temperature into macrodroid.

and yes, as far as i know all features work in the emulator, except for triggers and actions that require a sim card or that rely on phone sensors, since a laptop doesn't have those. that's another reason i want to use a tablet instead, so the tablet's light sensor and maybe even the proximity sensor or camera can be incorporated in my smart home.

I am more and more excited to have discovered and chosen this program, much better than IFTTT that has become a paid program ...
Thanks to your precious answers I am more and more 'Convinced that even without knowing how to program with macrodroid is enough to have good ideas to be able to develop spectacular projects, I repeat sernza be programmers, this thing and' really straordianaria fantastic!!!
opens the program to everyone, with the potential 'really incredible.
thanks to you I had the opportunity to understand that I could also use an old cell phone
and abandon the idea of doverr use the first release of raspberry pi with very limited hardware requirements, and maybe be able to use the old smartphones in my possession see:
samsung s2
xiaomi m1 a1

and also the android emulator in windows 10 environment
ldmultiplayer - ldplayer 4
which I tried last night on the fly and worked at the first shot
I simply created an action of this type

at a certain time like alarm clock you start a sound
nothing more trivial and simple but it worked immediately, i really like the interface of this emulator.
I would not mind being able to use this emulator on pc low cost
for example i have a minipc based on miniitx architecture of asrock
see model itx1900dc for dc it means the possibility to power it in dc also with a small battery at 12 volts
this aspect could be really interesting to develop a powerful home automation control unit with extremely small size.
bnisognerebbe understand be able to overcome the lack of internal sensors available only on tablets and smartphones, if they serve ...
but 'maybe there is a way to integrate with some trick the functionality' missing
se sì dimmi come hai fatto e come hai risoloto?
mi suggerisci anche se devo gestire la mia risposta solo su questo thread o crearne altre con argomenti specifici?
sarebbe fantastico creare una serie di post sui nostri progetti e applicazioni,
Sono convinto che le idee possano innescare altre devono esistere sinergie per creare l'impossibile.
l'impossibile.

Vorrei poter creare macro o eseguire quelle create con i comandi vocali, sarebbe fantastico o no?
Vorrei raggiungere il mio dispositivo e comandarne l'impostazione da una postazione remota.

i probably should have told you this already, since you might not know, but there is no direct way to have macrodroid control the smart home devices....

i am doing it through macrodroid "http get" actions that call sequematic.com webhooks (free ifttt alternative, but works only with sonoff/ewelink, tuya and philips hue devices)

and there is also no direct way to let macrodroid know if for example a door opens or motion is detected, to do this i have set up automations in the smart life app that send a notification, and in macrodroid i then use notification received triggers with specific content to know what door sensor opened/closed or what motion sensor detected motion. (i don't have temperature/humidity sensors yet, so i am not sure how that will work and how to get that info into macrodroid, probably in the same way, worst case i'd have to create an automation for every possible degree/% of humidity to send a specific notification......)

as far as i know this is the best workaround for now, i have suggested to tuya that they should add support for running their tap-to-runs as app shortcuts, and let us run other app shortcuts in their automations and tap-to-runs, so we can get direct control, and can cut out the middleman. i though that was a pretty good idea, but the only answer i received so far has been that they will pass it on to the technical department...


as for creating macro's by voice.... i don't know if that is or ever will be possible...

also i have no experience with adding a light sensor or other sensors to a pc, i don't know if that is possible, if it is you still need to figure out a way to get that info into macrodroid...

for help with your xiaomi device, you can try the xiaomi support thread: https://www.macrodroidforum.com/index.php?threads/xiaomi-support-thread.3/

Il ridimensionamento può essere corretto se utilizzi un altro programma di avvio come Lawnchair. Forse se il nuovo lanciatore non funziona, prova l'emulatore LDPlayer. Ci sono anche istruzioni per LD nel thread specifico del dispositivo

hello congratulations on your very interesting answers
about this point see :

why don't we promote a group initiative to urge tuya to enable the required functionality?
for the benefit of everyone, including them, perhaps they have not understood how important this aspect is.
what can we do?
are you willing to promote such an initiative?
hi let me know avchd

i found another way to control smart home devices, by using sharptools plugin.... i will share my experience with it here...

i downloaded the smartthings app, made a samsung acccount, and linked my tuya/smartlife account to it. (you can also link many other smart home apps to it) to my surprise it found 111 devices in mere seconds.

sadly out of these 111 "devices" only 4 are actual devices and the rest are just smartlife tap-to-runs and automations, most of which i have deleted months ago... (that made me wonder what other data from me they might be holding onto, long after i deleted it... but i'll worry about that later...)

funny thing is that the 4 working devices are 2 dirt cheap wifi breakers and IR blasters from aliexpress, noone of my other bulbs/plugs door and motion sensor showup, it turns out they have no support for smartthings app... i can still control them (the plugs/bulbs, not the sensors ofcourse) by running the smart life tap-to-runs through macrodroid - sharptools - smartthings, but i cannot use the state of them as a trigger in macrodroid....

i really like this sort of "direct" integration though.... so i might have to start replacing all my devices with smartthings compatible ones....

(i know it's still not really direct, because now it has to go through macrodroid - sharptools - smartthings - smartlife, but i mean i can now simply add an action/trigger in macrodroid, intead of having to create a whole bunch of automations with a webhook trigger and the actions to do whatever to whatever device in some outside service. i will also still have to get the door/motion sensor state updates through smartlife notifications, untill i replace them with smartthings compatible ones and can use the sharptools plugin to use the state of them as a trigger in macrodroid directly)

i should also mention that sharptools is only free for a 7 day trial, to unlock using it as a plugin costs 4 euro's. (i think it's a one time payment but not 100% sure, i havn't paid it yet)

i'm willing to promote this as a group initiative, but i have no clue where we would start...

the suggestion i made to them i just made through the "feedback" option in the smartlife app itself... i am not sure how else to contact them.... and the message i got back might have been an automated one....

and i could be wrong but it doesn't seem like they (tuya/smartlife) are very responsive....
i mean people have been complaining about their big ugly widget for years, and they have done absolutely nothing with that feedback.

i could be wrong about this aswell, but i also believe that they have to pay ifttt for every use... so, if that's true, it should be a good incentive for them to add this feature... now we just have to figure out how to get through to them....

do any of you use the trello app that also works on Windows 10 ?
it would be very nice to create a common noticeboard to develop ideas and projects by sharing Rings tutorials video documentation various and put foot also a mechanism of RSS feed.
I have many ideas but I'm not familiar with programming.
Yesterday I had fun transcribing on several sheets of A4 paper all the functions and sub-functions of Marco Droid in such a way as to have a visual idea of the great potential of the program.
In this way it is easier and more intuitive to understand what can be achieved.
In your opinion, to experiment with an Android emulator apart from using a Smartphone or tablet, what interfaces would you buy to experiment with macrodroid or other free apps that have a low cost and are not in subscription?
could an assistant like google echo or alexa be helpful?
Let me know if there is something else easy to use to develop ideas?
in the meantime i'm anticipating some ideas for using macrodroid for home automation.
I would like to be able to create a home automation control unit that can be controlled remotely that is able to monitor the house through sensors such as humidity to be placed in the bathroom and kitchen.
Let's take a practical example, there is a water leak in a pipe or a possible flooding of a neighbour or defect in the discharge of the washing machine, the sensor positioned properly should be able to detect and communicate the alarm to the control device via Bluetooth technology or do you want to do or other in such a way that an appropriate trigger triggers the alarm maybe turning off a solenoid valve I commanded a power outlet etc. etc. etc. .
same thing to detect the temperature gas leaks is high.
It would also be interesting to use as a home burglar alarm maybe to analyze the noises maybe an audio trigger near the door of the house of the house if someone makes an attempt to break creates you that the sensor detects other thing would be interesting type capacitive alarm someone who touches the door handle that have the event Hattrick for the alarm The important thing is to know what sensors are able to do then there is control logic I think it is easier to create.
What do you think ?
thanks a lot mirrorless
