As the title says, can someone please explain to me why MacroDroid can't change battery/power saver and other similar settings while SetEdit SettingsDatabaseEditor from Play Store can change it without any ADB hack or root?
MacroDroid has 108 permissions
SetEdit has only 4 permissions (screenshots added)
I am trying to create a battery saver macro so when I go to bed it turns on battery saver mode but the "Action Trigger" in MacroDroid doesn't do anything, and while some settings like brightness works from the System Table, not all of them works with MacroDroid. I have even tried with the MacoDroid Helper App.
SetEdit SettingsDatabaseEditor on the other hand works flawlessly without any ADB hack or root and can change any settings under the System Table and only requires the ADB hack when I want to change from the Secure or Global Table.
Can the developer please look into this issue? It looks like a problem with MacroDroid to me, not having proper permissions.
The post below may no longer apply since it's working with SetEdit SettingsDatabaseEditor
Is it the 4th permission "ACCESS" from the screenshot that's letting me change the battery settings in SetEdit or do I have to give ADB permissions for WRITE_SETTINGS but I guess its not needed? I'm trying to confirm it with the experts since I don't want to mess up my phone as I recently formatted it and don't want to factory reset it again as it take days for me to set everything up.
Can the developer please fix this in the new update or will just giving the permission for MacroDroid work? Thanks!

Battery saver mode (on/off/toggle) doesn't work
I have Macrodroid on my phone and it works flawlessly. I now wanted to install it on my tablet (Huawei MediaPad M5 lite 10. I went through the steps of installing ADB and all and the ADB actions in Marcrodroid seem to work (e.g. change keyboard). But I actually wanted Macrodroid to manage my...
