Note that you will need to grant MacroDroid location permission in order to detect cell tower ids and since Android 8 you must have location services enabled for cell tower detection to function.

<span style="color: #548687; font-size: 24px; display: inline-block; margin-top: 15px; margin-bottom: 0px;"><strong>Cell Tower Groups</strong></span>
A cell tower group typically consists of multiple cell towers that can be seen from a fixed location. All towers within this group are then treated as one and the same in order to determine if you are inside our outside that cell tower group area. To add a new cell tower group click the cell towers button from the home screen and then the plus button on the cell tower list. Assign a name to the cell tower group (e.g. home) and click ok. The app will then scan for cell towers that can be seen and add them to the group. It is recommend to leave the scanning to happen for an extended period in order to detect all towers around. You can select to scan in the background and the scanning will continue to add any new cell towers to the current group. You will see a notification in the notification bar while the scanning is in progress.
