Samsung - MD can run Bixby [Tip]

I'm not a big fan of Bixby Routines, but it have a few things that MD isn't capable at (yet 😉), but at the moment MD can't run Bixby Routines either

However I managed to find out a little workaround

1=> Make a Bixby Routine with 'Notification Received' (containing text to match) as trigger, then your actions

2=> Make a macro with 'Display Notification', with the text in your Routines, 'Wait 200 ms' and 'Clear Notification'

It's going so fast that the Notification doesn't even have time to show up

I'm running this from drawer to toggle my 5g connection, works perfectly

There might be other useful options 😁

I am fiddling with bixby custom voice, sadly it's not a full tts, so only works in app, and only with US language. whilst in mentions talkback uses custom voice, it doesn't apply to android access talkback, or tts used by bixby vision.

I also tried alexa, and have the samsung routines (which aren't much cop)

Wondering what is only possible in certain apps (like mentioned here, probably depending on device, os, and root status+)

I've seen voice commands in md somewhere (maybe it was just speak text, maybe Requires autovoice)

Looking at current limitations and comparisons, to see what's worth keeping, what can be safely removed/disabled

Ideally I'd have a celeb tts, but seems that's not possible!

Until better solutions are found I think I'll use this, maybe with an autoclear of the (event) notification

It's indeed very useful. I remember thinking about it before MacroDroid supported airplane mode without setting MacroDroid as the assistant, but didn't think of this genius workaround.

It can also be used for some settings regarding Samsung's wearable devices, or just to have the nicer widget.
