Trigger: speed vs audio volume

[vm53]

Hi everyone
In the car I use waze on my smartphone, when I'm at high speed, it's great that the audio is maxed out, but when the speed is low, or I'm stationary, the maxed out audio is quite annoying.
I've tried creating a macro with the activity trigger in the vehicle, audio at max, and another activity trigger on the bike,
audio at 50%, but it doesn't seem to work, it always stays at max.
Considering that there is no trigger that activates based on the real speed, how can I solve the problem?
As always, thanks in advance and sorry for my english (google)

You can use either Activity triggers, but they are not very accurate, or test Magic text {last_loc_speed_...} periodically

.... or test Magic text {last_loc_speed_...} periodically

This seems like a great idea to me, I did some tests, but I can't apply it.
Could you please post me how to do it?
Thank you

Use the compare values constraint, then in the first field use [last_loc_speed_kmh] or [last_loc_speed_mph] then if less/more than (some number in second field).

I still can't figure out, where do I find and put "compare values constraint"?
Can you post an example for a 70 year old man?
Thanks again!

Constraint in MacroDroid specific

You could try something like that (attached below). Note that you must activate your GPS to get speed information.

I'm not sure the condition will actually query the location so it may be necessary to use force location update too.

Not at all

If you are using a mapping app then the location/speed information should be up to date.

I see 0, when using the magic text for last known speed. I'm using it in relies via notifications.

I'm using Android v9. Maybe it's the reason why I have no speed update problem

Thanks everyone for your interest.
I created 2 different macros and tried them one at a time on the road.
The first on @Dm114 advice is this:



but unfortunately it didn't work, checking the log, there was this error:



Then I tried the second on the advice of @Endercraft:



but this also didn't work, generating the same error in the registry:



Surely I did something wrong, can someone correct me?

 

[Endercraft]

Use the decimal option instead of integer.

Amazing!
To me it works fine, as an Integer or Decimal comparison as well.
