I have a Ring Doorbell. I am trying to write a "Send intent" macro, so that when I leave my home, the Ring Doorbell mode is changed from HOME to AWAY. In case you are asking 'Why?'... I also have Ring Camcorders (part of the Ring Doorbell system) inside my home for security. When I am home, the system is in "HOME" mode and the cams are OFF. When I leave the my home's geofence I want the Ring Doorbell system automatically changed to "AWAY" mode at which time the cams are turned ON. Using Macrodroid, this would all happen automatically.
I tried to use Macrodroid's "Launch Application" action, then use the "UI Interaction" action to touch the "AWAY" icon on the screen. This would put Ring Doorbell in AWAY mode. The problem is the screen is usually LOCKED and in my pocket when I am walking out the door so the "Launch Application" (of the Ring app) does not present the Ring app on the screen. The subsequent "UI Interaction" click on the screen does not see the AWAY icon (because the screen is locked) and therefore just clicks on an empty part of the locked screen.
Because of the problem (described here above), I am exploring using Macrodroid's "Send intent" action. Which brings me to my next problem... I do not know what the actual values for the fields are in the Macrodroid "Send intent" action. But the manual steps would be, 1) Launch the Ring Doorbell app, then, 2) Tap on the AWAY icon at a specific x,y screen coordinates, and finally, 3) Close the Ring Doorbell app.
Any help would be appreciated!
