Waze - play sound on specific text inside the app

Hello,

I am using waze as navigation app on my phone.

Unfortunately their warnings are not always playing acustical sounds if the speed limit is not overwhelming.

Is there any way to check if a specific text is displayed inside of the app and then play a sound?

I don't think so but maybe it's even possible?

Ps. No plugin found for this app, doesn't exists?

Thanks in advance.

You may be able to do it with autoinput plugin as I think that can read text on the screen. I can't advise on how to configure I'm afraid as I'm no expert.

Unfortunately that's not what I'm need, I need to read if a speed camera detected by waze and other hazards to be alerted. And this hazards are only displayed by text inside the waze app.

Because speed alerts are already acustical warned.

TomTom app used to do it years ago and notified of cams and speed limit. Then you would be able to use notification received trigger to take action

I need this for the app waze, not TomTom :)

This is because I need to read out the text from inside the app.

If this don't work is dommage but life goes on 🤣

But is it possible to use autoinput plugin from tasker in macrodroid?

And how exactly use the vars from autoinput in macrodroid?

But maybe @UndeadCretin has another option todo something like this.

You can use AutoInput with MacroDroid. Where there are variables that can be read from a plugin there should be a screen where you can assign these variables to a MacroDroid variable.

Thanks, I suppose I now need to create a macro that loops when Waze is in the foreground and reads me these variables and if the content of the variable corresponds to a certain text perform my action?

I don't know how to use the autoinput:
I set the ui query for the element an searching text but don't know how to set the tasker variable in a macrodroid variable?
