Only when trigger fired twice in a specific time?

[Michael02]

I don't want to do something until some trigger is fired twice within a specific amount of time. For example, I want to unmute my phone only if screen unlocked is fired twice in 20 minutes. Any suggestions on how to do this?

You could use a constraint of invoked/not invoked

Hello, could you be more specific? I think the tricky thing is the second trigger is the same as the first one.

Nice, thank you! You're good at this!

@Jacob L 's suggestion is much more straightforward:


but the MacroDroid Constraint scheme may work exactly as is for this. It seems that MacroDroid will never run that macro, since it doesn't consider the macro "invoked" unless the trigger is fired and its constraint(s) are met. Same is true if the constraint is moved from the trigger down to the macro Constraints.

So, a slight tweak to put the test as an IF statement in the macro body, vs. a constraint:

Still much more compact than the timer scheme earlier...

You're really smart! Thanks for both suggestions!
